The Book
Coming out in May 2024!
In 2013 Davor Rostuhar visited a tribe of hunter-gatherers—the Hadza in Tanzania. He returned to his friends from East Africa a decade later, documenting the changes to their society and environment.
What can a man of the soon-to-be-virtual era learn about equality, sustainability, leisure, happiness, and a conflict-free life from hunter-gatherers? This book is not just a story of a tribe but also a call to change, to explore our own boundaries, and to uncover a profound understanding of other cultures and ourselves.
– Želimir Periš, writer
From the time the genus Homo separated from other primates on the evolutionary tree two million years ago, until just a few thousand years ago, all humans were hunter-gatherers. Over this hunter-gatherer period, by far the longest for our species, our hardware and software evolved, and we became what we are today. To understand better what and who we are, for two centuries anthropologists have been visiting tribes still living as hunter-gatherers. But the pressure of globalization is enormous, and their world is rapidly disappearing.
Fascinated by the fact that several tribes continue to resist change, Davor Rostuhar visited one of these tribes—the Hadza—living in the “cradle of humankind” in East Africa, where our species originated. He visited them on two occasions, first in 2013, then returning ten years later. This allowed him not only to witness a very vibrant hunter-gatherer lifestyle but also to record major changes that threaten it.
Through this story about the last first people in the world, Rostuhar tells a broader story about humanity, about who we are, what we are, and where we’re going, asking whether we made a wrong turn somewhere and, if so, how we can return to the right path.

The Lecture
A glimpse into the lives of hunter-gatherers is an exclusive opportunity that new generations will never be able to experience again.
During the million years of our species evolution, more than 99% of the time humans spent as hunters and gatherers. During that time, our “hardware” and “software” evolved.
There are still a few tribes that live in the same manner. Meeting them reveals a deep story of human nature and is full of lessons: how to live in harmony with nature and in a collaborative society.
Davor Rostuhar’s multimedia lecture on hunter-gatherers educates, inspires and encourages you to question the world and yourself.
