I can't believe you still believe that stuff. The studies on the Yanomamo prove they are violent and treat their women badly (hay, marital rape, is that good?!), and life in the rainforest is really hard. It's NOT a garden of eden.
You're welcome to go live there I suppose and go shopping for food from the endangered species list with blowdarts, but personally, I'll stay in civilisation and hunt my food in a grocery store.

"I suppose so," said Alice.
"Well, then," the Cat went on, "you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad."
"I call it purring, not growling," said Alice.
"Call it what you like," said the Cat.
