Yanomami

Right.

Several South American communities, the Yanomami and the Megakokre and the Kalina, believed that a child could not possibly be conceived with only one father.

These societies believed that the sperm built a ball inside the woman until it was large enough to create a fetus and that the fetus blocked the passage of the menstrual blood.

They believed the woman was only a carrying vessel and did not contribute to the creation of the fetus.

It can't be done.

But we did find when they studied the Yanomami tribe, these are previously uncontacted Amazonian tribes, they have...

They actually sequenced their gut microbiomes, and they found they were the best gut microbiomes on planet Earth.

They had between 1,000 and 1,600 unique bacterial species inside of their gut, which I'll get to the numbers here.

yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yanomami.

They were...

We have played against them before in Italy back in 2014. uh so

You must get top two out of three to still be in power pools that can can keep you eventually into quarterfinals.

So, Pool A, champions, Chickenpox, USA, Mistral, a new name, a Courier Island team, so a mixed division or a mixed international team, and Quambac, which is a Quebecois-Canadian team.

Pool B, Notsuo, Houston spelled backwards from the USA, Yanomami, Venezuela, and Carbone from La France.

Pool C, Finland from Finland.

No. I've seen it, uh, you know, anthropology class in college.

I remember they showed us a video of it, and I don't remember if it was the Yanomami or the Kayapo or who was it did it.

But I'm talking, I, I wanna say, like, you know, over 80 or close to 100 bullet ants, which 100 wasps would put you in bad shape.

Yeah.

And we tied so much about success to our financial well-being and our financial status more so than the quality of the life we're living if none of those things existed.

If you were to go to the Yanomami tribe, previously uncontacted tribe in the Amazon rainforest, and ask them how much money they have, they're going to laugh at you.

They've never heard of it.

They don't care.

And those outliers were very primitive societies.

They were the Yanomamo and Zingu Indians of Brazil.

the rural population in Kenya and Papua New Guinea.

Everybody else, all those other 48 groups, you can see clusters fairly tightly, somewhere between 100 and 200 millimoles of sodium.

This is fucking-" I don't believe any timelines.

"... pre-internet." Uh, you know, it's always funny 'cause we're told we come from cavemen, and I'm not saying there weren't cavemen, but it's kinda like if you look at today, like if you go to Latin America, there's a tribe called the Yanomamö, right? And they still live in huts in the jungle and they hunt, but we also have Tokyo.

Yeah.

But what if you only focus on the Yanomamö and you said this was the history of, of man? Oh, so you're saying there might be a Tokyo during caveman time? I...

100%, dude.

Oh, type shit.

Now, It's obviously quite severe, and I'm not sure what the actual stats should be versus what they are.

So when I look at, again, my corner of the cave troll woods here, the Yanomami tribe out of the Amazon rainforest, they had sequenced their microbiomes.

They found up to 1,600 unique species of bacteria in their gut, whereas the average American has 150 to 300 or less, and those with bowel disease tend to have 100 to 150.

So this loss is connected to that.

I'd love for an opportunity if you're up for it to come in and speak to my community on specifically with bowel disease for those adults who have it and for those who are worried about their kids.

It's just such a wild conversation that we're this this extincted and I knew we were bad.

I mean, we talked about earlier, I mentioned the Yanomami in the Amazon with up to 1,600 microbes.

Your average person with bowel disease having 1 to 150 and the increase of bowel disease by about 50,000%.

There were some neat studies done, many over the years, and I pulled the data together this way.

We know in the Yanomami tribe, the previously uncontacted Amazonian tribe, They have anywhere from 1,000 to about 1,600 unique bacterial species inside of their guts.

This is considered like the gold star.

That's the Olympic medal, 1,600 microbes, the most diverse on the planet.

which is an initiative that was put together by COP30 that will create a 125 billion fund that will pay four dollars per hectare.

This is the best policy for conservation that has ever been designed because this will allow populations like the Yanomami, who was almost on the verge of genocide, to receive $28 million every year, which is for them a game changer in a way that has never been put in place.

So TFFF is a mechanism in which National Treasuries, they borrow money, they receive 4% every year, they sponsor projects on infrastructure on 7%, and the 3% that comes between those two will be diverted to traditional communities and to protected off-standing forests.

So TFFF will make, once it's fully deployed, will be the best conservation tool that policy has ever built.
