It is fascinating to see how the human race has evolved and adapted to life on Earth. Many wonderful
traditions are practiced in various parts of the planet. Some traditions we are familiar with but some
we are not. For the Huli Wigmen of Papua New Guinea, wigs are a symbol of manhood and mark its
initiation. Boys in the tribe are sent to wig school from a very young age. One might wonder whether
these omamented wigs serve any purpose other than giving the Huli men a sense of identity and
belonging. The Himba tribe of Northern Namibia is known to cover their body with Otijze - a thick red
cream. However, this practice has more to do with survival than tradition. The cream made of crushed
rocks and herbs protects them from insect bites and the harsh African sun.

Certain tribes like the Massai tribe of Africa, have removed themselves from seclusion and are often
found in cities selling animals and mobile phones. The Sentinelese people of the Andaman Islands on
the other hand fiercely resist human contact outside of their tribe. When all attempts of
communication failed the government had to recognize them as sovereign people with a right to
attack and even kill trespassers. Others like the Chukchi people have been secluded from the rest of
the world, not by choice but because of their formidable geographical location. With an average
temperature of 10 degrees, their land repels outsiders.
Which of the following traditional practices also serve as a survival tactic?​
