San Bushmen, South Africa, 1995.
The seemingly empty landscape of the Kalahari Desert is full of clues to the whereabouts of potential prey for these San Bushmen hunters. Bushmen can read the desert like a book, studying droppings, tree markings, and hoof prints to determine an animals species, gender, and age. They can estimate when an animal has passed through a certain area by the time it takes termites to rebuild a nest thats been trampled, or a blade of grass to spring back upright, or a spider to repair its cobweb.
