🤩Wrapping up two inspiring days at the workshop “Understanding biocultural changes in the ancestral homelands of the Tsimane’ people” at ICTA-UAB🏹 Great talks, fresh ideas, and powerful insights on sustainability and Indigenous knowledge in the Bolivian Amazon. 🌿 #IEKCHANGES #Tsimane

They explored case studies from long-term research with the Tsimane’ and other Indigenous groups, discussed methods for documenting biocultural changes, and reflected on how these communities maintain or restore their deep connections to ancestral lands. 🌍🧬 #IEKCHANGES #Tsimane

Does our heart and circulatory #health necessarily decline with age? Not if we live like the #Tsimane

'Horus Group scientists who had found heart disease in mummies would join with the Tsimane Project and analyse CT scans of the hearts of the Tsimane, an Indigenous tribe of about 17,000 people living in the lowland Bolivian jungle. They would find almost no heart disease. What’s more, continuing research with the Tsimane shows rates of dementia among the lowest ever observed, and they have only minimal cognitive impairment with ageing.'

Cooperative women's labour networks (Kraft et al #Batek #foragers show more extensive female networks than #Tsimane forager/horticulturlists) and gift exchange (Wiessner, Apicella)

Women's leisure time (Dyble et al, Agta women foragers have more than those who have settled as #farmers)

And last but not least is the influence of #music, #dance and #song on #women's solidarity and #collective power (Lewis, Finnegan, Kisliuk, Grauer, Bombjakova, England)

#MornaFinnegan writes beautifully here on the #danceoffs of women among Central #African #Forest peoples, and the incredibly rude words they sing to men!
