Description of Three people visited by Niobe
In The Great Human Odyssey, Dr Niobe Thompson took a long journey around the world
to discover a mystery about human species. The film examines the probability of the survival and
the scenario of the availability of Homo sapiens as the only global species available (Moore). He
did the exploration for eighteen months where he traced the footsteps of our forefathers in
various places in five continents of the world. He worked with 22 Canadian, American and South
African photographers. The paper, therefore, seeks to describe the three groups of people visited
by Niobe and how they inform the current generation about human evolution.
The first group of people visited by Niobe is Crocodile People on Papua New Guinea’s
Sepik River. The main feature of the Crocodile People is that they practised the uttermost
unusual skin cutting done performed during initiation. From crocodile’s people remote culture, it
is evident of the fragility of human species lived and the mysterious of adapting of the Homo
sapiens in harsh conditions that made them replicate to the whole world.
The second group of people visited by Niobe is Badjao people in the southern
Philippines. The Badjao people were characterized by their famous worldwide last breath
practicing sea nomads. They liked to fight with so much with their fellow or other communities.
The Badjao people were also characterized by swimming freely in the water without any support.
