When the family needs meat,
the hunter dips his tiny arrow
00:00:05.067 --> 00:00:07.705
in a brew that acts
as a tranquilizer,
00:00:07.705 --> 00:00:09.084
so when he shoots a buck,
it only feels a sting,
00:00:09.084 --> 00:00:11.476
and the arrow drops out.
00:00:11.476 --> 00:00:14.312
The buck runs away,
but soon it gets very drowsy
00:00:14.312 --> 00:00:15.846
and it stops running.
00:00:18.416 --> 00:00:21.652
After a while,
it goes to sleep...
00:00:24.555 --> 00:00:26.791
and the hunter apologizes
to his prey.
00:00:26.791 --> 00:00:28.993
He explains
that his family needs the meat.
00:00:32.163 --> 00:00:33.564
The one characteristic
00:00:33.564 --> 00:00:35.766
which really makes the Bushmen
different
00:00:35.766 --> 00:00:37.668
from all the other
races on Earth
00:00:37.668 --> 00:00:40.505
is the fact that they have
no sense of ownership at all.
00:00:40.505 --> 00:00:43.174
Where they live, there's really
nothing you can own--
00:00:43.174 --> 00:00:46.211
only trees
and grass and animals.
00:00:46.211 --> 00:00:47.512
In fact, these Bushmen
have never seen
00:00:47.512 --> 00:00:49.001
a stone or a rock
in their lives.
00:00:49.001 --> 00:00:54.001
The hardest things they know
are wood and bone.
00:00:54.001 --> 00:00:56.254
They live in a gentle world,
00:00:56.254 --> 00:01:00.991
where nothing is as hard
as rock, or steel, or concrete.
00:01:03.794 --> 00:01:06.163
Only 600 miles to the south,
there's a vast city...
00:01:09.667 --> 00:01:12.999
and here you find
civilized man.
