Hi, I'm new here and since I've came in the midlle of the discussion I
don't know if I'm stepping away of the subject or something like that, if
that's the case I apologize.
I live in brazil and I've worked in several projects related to brazilian
tribes, and they are very good examples of non-SOM cultures. I don't want
to post an analysis of their behavior from this point of view now because
I think it would be rather long, and since I don't know what's your
interest in this, it could be pointless. Let me know if there's any
interest so that I can write about it later.
