What strange peoples are there on the earth where we live?

According to incomplete research, there are more than 2,700 ethnic groups in the world today, among which there are many others, such as those who forbid women to wear trousers, those who have only two toes, those who always have a plate in their mouth, those who wear iron rings around their necks, and those who eat dead people. In this article, the webmaster will talk to you about these things that may be absurd or cruel.

It is every woman's wish to forbid women to wear trousers and beautiful clothes. However, this normal wish is very extravagant for the Calamo Jia people who are located in the Ugandan mountains in eastern Africa.

In the eyes of Jia people in Calamo, wearing clothes is a disgraceful thing, which may even bring disaster. Therefore, in the street, both men and women, people here are naked.

Since the beginning of the new century, the Ugandan government has forced local people to wear clothes, but it has been strongly opposed by local people. Some "radical" young people put on clothes in that movement, but they were immediately torn to pieces by angry people. Even under the coercion of "conservatives", they had to tear their clothes into pieces and swallow them on the spot to save their lives.

As we all know, people have five toes on the soles of their feet, but there are exceptions. In the virgin forest of Zimbabwe, Africa, there is a nation called "alien civilization"-"lobster nation".

It is called "Lobster Country" because people here have only two big toes, with webbed toes in the middle. The whole foot looks like the big pliers of two lobsters.

"Lobster man" has only two toes on each foot, but the flexibility, flexibility and strength of these two toes are not worse than those of people with five toes, and they can easily pick up things on the ground with their feet.

So, why does the "lobster country" only have two toes?

Until18th century, scientists from Portugal finally found the answer. It turns out that the toes of "lobster country" are caused by genetic variation.

According to the introduction of people in the tribe and the inference of scientists, many years ago, a woman with only two toes married people in this tribe and gave birth to people with two toes. Because this tribe is vast and sparsely populated, it doesn't like to communicate with foreign tribes, so it can only marry people from this tribe. In this way, long-term intermarriage makes the genetic diversity insufficient, and there are more and more people with two toes. In the long run, the genes of both toes are completely preserved.

People with plates in their mouths forever In Ethiopia, Africa, there is a very famous people-"Big Mouth", which often attracts tourists from all over the world.

People of this ethnic group have been putting plates on their lower lips since 10 years old. As they get older, the plates in their mouths get bigger and bigger. In their eyes, the bigger the plate in their mouth, the higher their status and the more respected they are.

Long-necked ethnic groups with tight necks are generally distributed in Africa, northern Thailand, Myanmar and mountainous areas in Yunnan, China. In the eyes of this tribe, the longer a woman's neck is, the more beautiful it is. Therefore, the average family will let the children put a copper ring around their necks from the age of five or six, one copper ring a year, and stretch their necks with the help of external forces.

According to records, some people of the long-necked ethnic group are as tall as 70 cm, which is regarded as the object of imitation by local people.

However, behind the "glamorous", the long-necked people put a heavy yoke on themselves in pursuit of beauty. For example, when they take a bath, they can only put the straw in the copper ring and scrub it like a saw.

In order to show this cruel beauty to the world, it is really an "alternative" nation to endure such "abnormal" torture.

In our country, people who can have sex at the age of 8, 16 or above, are considered adults, and they can only get married after they have a legal surname at the age of 22.

But, you know what?

In the virgin forest of central Africa, there is a group of people who can get married at the age of eight and live on their surnames. They are called "sons of the forest" by the outside world. They regard the virgin forest as their highest god and have never left this forest for generations. This is a dwarf.

Pygmies developed at an early age. Generally, at the age of 8 to 9, the secondary sexual characteristics are already obvious, the physiological function is mature, and people begin to get married and have children.

However, don't envy the pygmies who can make a living by their surnames at the age of eight, because they have paid a heavy price. According to statistics, the average height of pygmies is less than 1.5 meters due to their premature development, and their average life expectancy is only 30 to 40 years old.

As the saying goes, the world is big and wonders are everywhere. The nation described by the stationmaster is only the tip of the iceberg of the diversity of nationalities in the world.

Do you know any other interesting or "strange" peoples?

Humans have different mainstream lifestyles at different stages. At present, the reason why we feel strange or even unfamiliar to some ethnic groups is that some ethnic groups live a completely different life from us. Of course, for different lifestyles, we can't simply say which one is more advanced. After all, the lifestyle of our ancestors millions of years ago is now out of place. However, in modern society, there are indeed a group of people that most people cannot understand. Let's talk about a few "strange peoples".

"appetizer"-the blind are just a group of people who can't see with their eyes. They live in the virgin forest of the Madre Mountains in Mexico. People in this primitive tribe are basically blind and still live a primitive life. However, the blind are not born blind, but acquired, because there are many gnats in the virgin forest where they live, also called blackfly. Like mosquitoes, females in blackfly feed on animal blood, while males feed on nectar and plant juice. As a result, the people of this tribe became the biting targets of female blackfly.

It doesn't matter much if you just take a bite. Most importantly, blackfly is the host of onchocerciasis. If you are bitten by blackfly many times, you will easily get onchocerciasis, which is what we often call river blindness. Moreover, because there is no vaccine against this disease at present, it can only be avoided by means of prevention and treatment, but blind people have few clothes and are isolated from the world, and they can only be invisible after being infected with this disease.

Therefore, strictly speaking, it is not surprising that the blind people are "blind". Their blindness is not innate, but acquired, and not all the people in the whole tribe are infected.

It's hard to imagine that the Mursi people are a primitive ethnic group in Ethiopia, Africa. They mainly live in the Omo Valley. They can't imagine it, because in this tribe, as soon as women reach the age of 10, they begin to put plates in their mouths. Yes, even the dishes made of mud are stuffed in a simple and rude way. First, they pull out all the teeth in women's jaws, then penetrate their lower lips, and then put clay dishes in them. So in this tribe, all the women you see are holding a plate on their lower lip, and this tribe is very beautiful on the plate. The bigger the plate, the easier it is to find a husband.

Besides stuffing plates on their lower lips, they also stick out their ears in the same way and then stuff plates. As a decoration similar to earrings, the bigger the same filling plate, the better it looks.

Such "beauty" is really hard to imagine, and the teeth that have lost their jaws are still holding a big plate. It's hard to imagine how women here eat.

Creepy-the word cannibal is believed to be familiar to everyone, but cannibals mostly appear in film and television works and legends, and there are few reports about real cannibals. However, as the saying goes, the world is full of wonders. According to the British Daily Mail on March 2, 20 15, there is a mysterious tribe living along the Ganges River in northern India. This tribe believes in Aghori (a sect of Hinduism, but not recognized by Hinduism), and their religion is not recognized by Hinduism because of cannibalism.

They have a fanatical pursuit of the strength of the dead, so in order to get closer to the "dead", they settle down near the cemetery and drink the water of human bones. They wear little or no clothes, cover themselves with ashes, and the most important thing is that they eat the meat of the dead. However, it is worth mentioning that they did not take the initiative to kill people, but only had ideas about the deceased.

So although they don't kill people or eat human flesh, the habit of using human bones as food still makes people's backs cold and creepy.

Wearing a "tight hoop"-Budao people are a minority in Myanmar, and the population is the least in the world, with less than 200 people. They are more advanced than the tribes mentioned above, because they live a life of men plowing and women weaving, a bit like the ancients. This nation also has a peculiar habit, that is, every woman has a copper ring around her neck. From the age of five, a girl will wear a copper ring around her neck. With the increase of age, the number of copper rings is also increasing, and some women even weigh 10 kg.

As we all know, the neck is a very fragile part of people, so under the pressure of copper rings, the shoulder bones of these people slowly sink, and the cervical vertebrae are constantly stretched, eventually becoming a "long neck." Due to the stretching of the cervical vertebrae, these people's necks become so fragile that when they take off the copper ring, they will break their necks because they lose support. Therefore, this minority woman wears a bronze ring all her life.

To sum up, four truly unique ethnic groups are listed above. Although everyone has his own way of life, all four are caused by backwardness. They are either influenced by religion, or isolated from the world, and influenced by their ancestors, especially the preaching and Moxi ethnic groups. The strangeness of these two nations reflects the bondage and injustice to women, which is obviously contrary to the equality advocated by modern people. What other strange groups do you know? Welcome to share ~

Although human beings on the earth have entered civilization as a whole, there are still some ethnic minorities, such as Pygmies and Masai, who live in dense forests and are isolated from the outside world, and still maintain a relatively primitive life, grazing and hunting, and freely marrying. However, it is also being infiltrated by modern civilization and may even disappear in the future.

Pygmies are a special ethnic group. It is said that the residents of this place are short, and the average height of adults ranges from 1.30m to1.40m. Men hunt, women gather and live a relatively primitive life. There are even rumors that they became sexually mature at the age of 9 and began to get married and have children. The reality of pygmies is not so exaggerated. Those are all old calendars, but the overall height of pygmies is really not very high. Some studies believe that it may be that they live in a dense forest environment and lack light as a whole, so they are easy to lack vitamin D and it is difficult to transform and absorb calcium. Another view is that the place where they live is relatively hot and humid, and the smaller the volume, the greater the body surface area ratio, which is beneficial to heat dissipation.

However, the main reason may be genetic problems. Pygmies belong to the nigro-Australia race, which has never been very high. They are now distributed in Southeast Asia, South Asia, Australia (indigenous) and other places, and their bodies are not very tall. Due to short stature and environmental factors, pygmies mature sexually earlier, possibly in their teens or even in their teens. Therefore, in the past, pygmies were married at a younger age, and they might have one or two children in their teens. However, life in the jungle is hard after all, and because of the mobilization of the country, many pygmies have gradually moved abroad and gradually lived a better life, resulting in many people unwilling to return to the original jungle, resulting in the shrinking size of pygmies and the possibility of integration in the future.

The Masai are at the other extreme. They live on the African prairie, and the average height of adult men even reaches about 180, but they domesticated cattle a long time ago and lived a life of grazing and hunting. Masai people have a strong eye, and there is a tough custom in traditional life. Adults have to fight lions, and they have excellent skills. A group of people surrounded the lion with a big shield in one hand. When people squat down, the shield can cover themselves and hold a spear in one hand. A lion may be blocked by a shield or stabbed by an outstretched spear. In the end, the lion was black and blue, and people sneaked in from time to time, eventually killing the adult lion. Nowadays, this custom of Masai people has gradually disappeared because of the protection of lions.

Like the crisis encountered by pygmies, a civilized life is always convenient. Some Maasai people began to leave their ancestral communities to seek a living outside, while some people in Africa kept selling their land to Maasai shareholders and then moved to cities to enjoy life. The Masai people also have a tendency to decline, and they may be attracted by the past in the future and eventually be digested with the development of surrounding areas. In the protection of these ethnic minorities, the local government has done a wide range of work, even protecting them like wild animals. Masai people live in some lion reserves, and the local government will also provide them with some generous treatment as the price of leaving their hometown. Because this nation is famous, there are more people traveling there, which also makes Masai people realize how attractive the civilized life outside is.

As for the lobster man mentioned by the subject, it does not exist. Why do you think all animals must be human at the end of evolution? Anyone who has this idea is a person who doesn't understand evolution, and even junior high school students are not as good as senior high school students. There are thousands of ways of evolution, and adapting to the environment is the most important. The probability of other organisms evolving into humans is basically zero.

1887 In August, two green children walked out of a cave near Hoz, Spain.

They are wearing cloth that the locals have never seen before. They don't speak Spanish.

Strangely enough, the villagers couldn't understand what they said. Some experts and researchers also rushed there and set up a special research association, but it seems that the younger green boy didn't live long. The girl in green lived for five years, and he also learned some Spanish.

It is said that he comes from a place where there is no sun. Where there is no sun is unknown. Some people who claim to have seen aliens always describe them as short green humanoid creatures when talking about aliens, which reminds people of the Spanish green boy incident.

Although green children look strange, there is a green race in Africa. They come from Ghirba, only about 3000 people.

Their skin and blood are green, but Ghirba people live in caves all the year round and live a primitive life, and their genes may have changed to adapt to the environment.

Although there is no chloroplast in human body, both green leaves and conch contain this chlorophyll.

This kind of animal is very rare. They can transfer the chloroplast of algae to their own genes by swallowing and algae, so as to carry out photosynthesis. This kind of gene stealing is also a gene therapy that people are studying at present, and some progress has been made in this respect.

Scientists cut chloroplasts of some algae into eggs. After one month's culture, 10% chloroplast remained in the eggs. Theoretically, it is feasible for human beings to absorb chloroplasts.

It can be said that modern life has entered every corner of the world, and many people will feel that there will be no special ethnic groups on the earth. Because at present, almost every place on the surface of the earth is covered with human footprints. But this question reminds me of an island in India. The ethnic groups living on that island can be said to be very dangerous India even refuses any tourists to go to the island because tourists may be killed by the original tribal residents living there.

Island Besentinar Island and Primitive Tribes In the west of andaman islands in the Bay of Bengal, there is a beautiful island surrounded by coral and dense vegetation. From the satellite map, it seems to be an uninhabited island. However, on this small island, it can be said that it is the most primitive ethnic group on the earth-Centinar people. The island looks beautiful, but it is full of dangers, because for more than a century, the Centinarians living on the island have been stubbornly resisting the invasion of outsiders and foreign cultures. They are hostile to the outside world and don't allow anyone outside to land on the island. If you don't listen to dissuasion, only death will meet you.

Photo: Sendinard People In 20 18, an American man forcibly boarded Dinard Island in Beisen despite the official Indian ban and was killed by tribal members on the island. According to media reports, he wanted to go to the island to preach. He tried to go to the island before, but he was attacked by the bow and arrow of the island residents. Indian officials have clearly reminded that it is forbidden for anyone to enter within 20 kilometers of Fiona Fang in North Sentenar Island, on the one hand, to protect the safety of the original tribal residents on the island and prevent the tribe from extinction.

The inhabitants of the island still live the way of life handed down tens of thousands of years ago. Their language is isolated from the world, they use very primitive methods to fish and collect, and there is even no evidence that they can use fire at present, which is unimaginable for modern people.

They are hostile to foreign cultures and foreigners. For foreign invaders, it is even more indiscriminate.

198 1 year, the Panamanian cargo ship "Pliem Ross" ran aground near Besentinad Island due to typhoon. Fortunately, there is an island near them. When the crew on the ship were about to disembark and board the island to wait for rescue, they found that the residents on the island were waving weapons at them. In the voyage record, they wrote: "About 50 barbarians, carrying different kinds of homemade weapons, are building two or three wooden boats. They are afraid of boarding at night and all the crew members will lose their lives."

Because there are only a few axes on board. Fortunately, the Indian navy arrived in time to take them away. At present, cargo ships stranded near the island can be seen on the map. Although some people have tried to contact and change their living habits before, they have basically failed, and some people even paid the price of their lives. In the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, Indian officials paid attention to the disaster situation of islanders and sent helicopters to check it out. When flying over the island, they were greeted only by bows, arrows and stones. Therefore, the ethnic groups on the island have been living in their own world, not accepting or even rejecting our present civilization and any scientific and technological achievements. In order to protect their way of life, Indian officials have banned anyone from approaching or landing on Besentinad Island.

Do you know a woman who will get married three times in her life? Do you eat soil as sesame seed cake? Some people have lived in trees all their lives, while others have lived in the sea all their lives.

A person who has been married three times in his life.

People who have been married three times in the world must be curious. Is it to marry three men? That's not true.

They are Nepalese Nivard people, a very old and famous nation.

The first marriage was when the girl was 8 years old. The object of my marriage with her is a kind of fruit called wooden apple, which is the best fruit chosen by my parents.

Most of their first marriages are group weddings, and many girls will dress up on this day. They will put on the bride's clothes and hair accessories and wait for the ceremony beautifully.

Then they salute their parents and wooden apples together. The wedding was very serious and grand. From this period on, girls will carry this kind of fruit with them.

The second marriage is to marry the sun. This time, when the girls come to menstruation for the first time, they will stay in the darkroom for 1 1 day, thus completing the second wedding.

The third marriage is to marry the person you love and spend the rest of your life with the other half of two of a kind.

They are really a strange group of people. So far, their population exceeds 1 10,000.

Earth-eating people

We often hear that the poor eat dirt, but in a distant place, there is a nation in sub-Saharan Africa. They really eat dirt. Why?

They eat dirt for two main reasons:

First, they think that eating soil can cure diseases and prevent diseases.

Reason 2: They think that the soil is very nutritious and contains a lot of minerals, which can supplement the nutrition our body needs.

They are very particular about eating dirt. They will dig the unpolluted soil deeply, then remove the slag, filter out the fine soil, then wash it, mix it with water, and bake it with fire, which can effectively kill bacteria. I have to say that they are still very wise when they eat dirt.

Finally, the soil will be made into biscuits or eaten as snacks.

In fact, in our Chinese medicine, Tu is also a blind doctor of Chinese medicine. Among many Chinese herbal medicines, there is a Chinese herbal medicine called "kitchen soil". "Kitchen soil" is a kind of soil, that is, the browned clods we burn in rural stoves. The kitchen tastes pungent and warm, and has a good hemostatic, antiemetic and antidiarrheal effect. In ancient times, Chinese medicine was also used to treat plagues.

People who have lived at sea all their lives.

People living on the sea are called Bayao people. Bayao people live on the sea all the year round, and the sea is home. Their bodies have evolved to be very suitable for diving.

Their children have been playing in the water since childhood, which is more flexible than ours on land. They can easily catch fish and shrimp in the sea without any tools.

Living at sea doesn't mean that they will never go ashore. They will sell seafood such as fish and shrimp caught from the sea on land in exchange for necessary living materials.

It's really a strange group. Their desires are very low. They wander around the sea all the year round and live a stress-free life.

People who live in trees

In a corner of the world, there are a group of mysterious people. They are Clowez tribes. There are about 3000 people in the whole tribe. They live in trees all the year round, which is caused by their environment at that time. They are in a dense forest and there are wild animals all the year round. In order to resist the harm of wild animals from outside and the invasion of various wild animals, they thought of living in a tree, and they have to say that living in a tree is really a good choice. They don't have to worry about wild animals coming at night, so it's probably mosquitoes.

And the trees they live in are generally very tall, and they have to climb up and down many times every day. They are also recognized as skilled people in the world.

They still maintain a lifestyle of hunting. They used to make clothes out of leaves, but now they are gradually putting on modern clothes.

The world is big, and there is no wonder. There are many strange groups that we don't know about. Like us, they live on this earth and work hard for their own lives. Respect for other people's lifestyles and preferences, each nation is unique, unique, adding a touch of bright color to the world.

The most peculiar tribe in China, men and women can't live together after marriage, and they should use bamboo poles to reproduce. With the development of economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people begin to pursue higher-level spiritual and cultural needs after meeting their basic material needs, hoping that their spiritual and cultural world can be enriched and upgraded. For young people, in addition to natural scenery and cultural relics, places with unique customs and cultures often attract their attention.

As we all know, China is a vast country. There are 56 ethnic groups living in 9.6 million square kilometers of China, and each ethnic group has its own unique culture. In some remote areas, and even some strange tribes, they still maintain some very interesting customs. Today, I want to introduce this tribe to you. Men and women cannot live together after marriage.

This strange tribe, called Kemu tribe, is located in Xishuangbanna, China. They have lived in the mountains and forests for generations, isolated from the rest of the world, and have their own language system, which has always maintained a primitive state of life. Kemu people exist not only in China, but also in Laos and Viet Nam in Southeast Asia.

There are many versions of the legend about the emergence of Kemu tribe. The most popular version is that Kemu people are an ancient and huge tribe. They first lived in Xishuangbanna, China, and were later enslaved by Dai people. Some Kemu people did not want to be oppressed by this and fled to neighboring Laos and other places.

Kemu people are still in matriarchal society, so there is also a strange custom about marriage, that is, men and women cannot live together after marriage, and men must live in trees and are not allowed to come down at ordinary times. When it is necessary to breed, women will knock on the tree house with long bamboo poles, and men will come down after hearing it and return to the tree after it is over.

This tribe is monogamous and attaches great importance to marriage. On the wedding day, there will be a grand ceremony, and all the people will hold a banquet and dance together, which is very lively. With the deepening of people's understanding of the world, this strange tribe has gradually appeared in front of the world, attracting many tourists to visit, and some modern civilizations have gradually been introduced, and this tribe has quietly changed. Some people have learned to dress and even speak Chinese. If you are interested, you can come here to explore.

Ba Yao nationality, a nationality without nationality. Living at sea, in order to better adapt to life at sea. I punctured the periosteum of my ear when I was very young.

Walking in the sea is like walking on a flat beach, and you will feel dizzy when you land.

Gypsies, vagrants. Home in the world, living in an RV. Can sing and dance, and travel around the world by busking.

Let's just say that our local Wa people are United and strong. They are straightforward and intelligent.
