This may not sound like much, but it is really good compared to just a few decades ago, when hunting had significantly reduced its range and overall population.

Among the Efe (Pygmy) people that I lived with in the 1980s, the young men would in fact disappear from the bosom of their families and spend a lot of time, perhaps months, living on their own in the forest. But it seems that many societies have a version of this that is less dramatic.
