Answers
Sherpa is the native of Himalayas.
He is the only man the author could think of in modern times who was born in a poor and primitive tribe far away from civilisation and yet achieved worldwide fame.
"The Sherpas are known to be the native inhabitants around the Himalayas. They are a primitive tribe. Here the author is mentioning about Sherpa Tenzing Norgay.
The reasons for the inclusion of Tenzing is as follows:
Firstly, Tenzing lives around the Himalayas. He was chosen by the author as he is the only person whom the author regards in terms of contemporary times. He was born into a family with a poor economic background.
Also, he belongs to the primitive tribe, distant from the madding crowd as well from the away enough from the light of modern civilization. But he fought with all this and achieved worldwide fame with his determination.
