Here we see the natives in their natural habitat. It's fairly easy to figure out what a typical day-in-the-life is like for them by digging through the artifacts they leave behind. Just as with sedimentary rock, the oldest layers are on the bottom and become more recent as you work up towards the top. Petrified food particles indicate that these people had a diet that included bagels, toast, and cream cheese. The remains of a brewed caffeinated beverage can be found in what was probably the matriarch's drinking vessel. Their work day can be pieced together as well: math lessons first, followed by some scribbling on paper, then English grammar, guitar practice, Lego building, and paper airplanes. Soup spills on top of everything indicate the tribespeople did not need to go far for their mid-day meal.
Occasional catastrophic disturbances disrupt the layers, but can tell a far more interesting story. Note the appearance of a wild beast in this photo- a single leap up on to the work area could lay waste to an entire morning's work. This tribe, while they maintain a main base camp, is still largely nomadic. When resources like pencils or Ritz crackers run dry, individual members may head off in search of replenishments, sometimes never to return. They almost always leave behind trails of books, candy wrappers, and hand held video games, and an experienced tracker can sometimes locate them to re-join with the rest of the tribe.
Here we see a lone tribesman. He set off on his own when he failed to achieve dominance over the others in the group. In this circumstance, his chances for survival may be better than if he had stayed with the group; however, it is uncertain as to whether the group will ever accept him again.
