If the report is accurate... if I remember right, Ursula Le Guin used another group of the Orang Asli as a model for one of her utopian societies. But this group seems to have even more things right.

That's all very well in a hunter-gatherer society. The burdens of civilisation, as well as its benefits, started when we invented farming. Or so I understand.

Thread drift: a question I have been considering recently - entirely theoretical in my case - is one would explain Marxism to an 8-year-old?
