Anthropologist

Imagine making your living by hunting, fishing, and collecting wild plants and insects.Imagine having to worry about being attacked by a jaguar or some other wild animal.This is how our ancestors lived for hundreds of thousands of years, but only a few peoples carry on this ancient lifestyle today.One of the few are the Ache, hunter-gatherers living in Paraguay, a country in South America.
Magdalena Hurtado is an anthropologist who has been studying the Ache for fifteen years.She has spent years living with the Ache people: learning their language, observing their history.The photographs and text offer invaluable insight into the work of an anthropologist.
