They're very gentle people.
:04:08
They'll never punish a child
or even speak harshly to it.

:04:11
So the kids are extremely well-behaved.
Their games are cute and inventive.

:04:25
When the family needs meat...
:04:27
...the hunter dips his arrow
in a brew that acts as a tranquilliser.

:04:31
When he shoots a buck, it feels
a sting and the arrow drops out.

:04:35
The buck runs away,
but soon it gets drowsy...

:04:37
...and it stops running.
:04:41
After a while, it goes to sleep.
:04:48
The hunter apologizes. He explains
that his family needs the meat.

:04:56
The characteristic which really makes
them different from all other races...

:05:00
...is that they have
no sense of ownership at all.

:05:04
Where they live,
there's nothing you can own.

:05:06
Only trees and grass and animals.
:05:09
These Bushmen have never seen
a stone or a rock in their lives.

:05:13
The hardest things they know
are wood and bone.

:05:17
They live in a gentle world, where nothing
is as hard as rock, steel or concrete.

:05:26
Only 600 miles to the south,
there's a vast city.

:05:33
And here you find civilized man.
:05:59
Civilized man refused
to adapt himself to his environment.
