Southern Ethiopia - Tribal Lands and Primeval People



Fun to watch
Light hearted and easy to follow the host as he traveled through Southern Ethiopia interacting with the natives! I recommend this video.

What an unfortunate name.
Does this video really need to refer to the residents of Southern Ethiopia as "Primeval People"? I understand that the director was trying to highlight the location's supposed importance to the origins of human development, but couldn't there have been a less crass way? I thought the time was over when we treated the people living on the continent of Africa as if they're mystical or, even worse, more like animals than the rest of the world, as the use of the word "primeval" suggests.
