Imagine a culture with no creation myths, no history beyond two generations, no way of talking about objects that aren't in the immediate experience of those having the conversation, no concept of abstraction, no numbers...

The Piraha are the living falsification of MANY scientific and philosophical theories of what it is to be human.
