If you thought Indiana Jones was a fearless explorer you haven't met Napoleon Chagnon. Dr. Chagnon spent years in the jungles of the Orinoco river basin (remember Enya's #1 hit, Orinoco Flow?) with the Yamomanӧ (Yamomani for those who can’t find UTF8 code U+04E7 on their keyboard) researching their language, customs, behavior and genealogy.
This fantastic adventure begins with his first encounter with the Yamomanӧ entering a village full of warriors with nocked and drawn arrows pointed right at his head and ends with a world full of angry Cultural Anthropologists demonizing him for embracing science and for accepting Darwin.
See my Amazon review here. You will find this book on the 4th floor in the Anthropology section, 304.5 Chagnon.
