There was this documentary about a first contact with an amazon tribe. I remember an interview with the (very young) leader of the tribe who was talking about how life was in the jungle and iirc he described it as very miserable, they wouldn't eat for days at a time, bugs everywhere ++

it's the documentary talked about here, I highly recommend it: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/01/amazon-tribe-m...

Yes, but you have to put this in historical context. These modern tribes have been pushed into corners by the industrialized nations all around them.

Modern hunter-gatherers do not necessarily equal ancient ones.

Good point!
