If I weren’t an architect, I would have become an anthropologist. My fascination with cultures from around the globe has fueled my imagination for as long as I can remember.

In this episode, I had the immense pleasure of hosting someone who has profoundly expanded my understanding of hunter-gatherer societies and their worldview, and what it means for our lives today and the current state of the world. Dr. Daniel Naveh, who lived with the Nayaka for over a year, joins us to share his insights.

Dr. Daniel Naveh is an anthropologist and an environmental studies lecturer at Tel Aviv and Bar-Ilan Universities. He spent over a year among hunter-gatherers in the forests of South India. His research focuses on the environmental perceptions, consciousness, and educational practices of hunter-gatherer societies.

Daniel shares his personal story of living with the Nayaka in India, highlighting the unique ways hunter-gatherers understand and interact with their environment and the relevance of this perspective to the current climate crisis. We also discuss how anthropological lessons from hunter-gatherers and additional scientific discoveries can help us reconnect with plants, animals, and the astonishing nature of reality.

What are the valuable lessons that modern societies can learn from the wisdom of hunter-gatherer cultures? Tune in to expand your understanding and discover how ancient wisdom can transform our modern world.
