Our anthropologist friend!

Take another look at this talk:

http://www.ted.com/talks/wade_davis_on_the_worldwide_web_of_belief_and_ritual.html

And decide:

What is the true meaning of the ancient cave paintings?

In what sorts of ways, giving examples, are all humans linked?

What metaphor is drawn between Western nations and the people of Polynesia?

Explain the relationship between Earth, as in the 'living planet', and 'community' among people.

What is the relationship between the Elder Brothers and the rest of society?

How have some of the societies he refers to been disenfranchised?

How does he see this situation being resolved?
