The impact of Western civilisation in Africa is enormous and documented, from culture and religion to political structure. But Africa isn’t a country.
Some societies and tribes, somehow, have remained unaffected by the reach of civilisation and thus making their dressing, custom, traditions and lifestyle uniquely peculiar.
Till date, these tribes in Africa still exist in an uncivilised bubble, maintaining traditions long left behind by the rest of the world and providing a wealth of information for anthropologists seeking to understand the way cultures have developed over the centuries.
Here are the five African tribes unaffected by civilisation:
1. The Hamer Tribe
The Hamer are located in south-west Ethiopia and in the Omo valley.
