From Tierra del Fuego to Hudson Bay, if the world's 3,000,000 surviving hunter-gatherers provide any clue, man's distant past probably was more placid and, in some ways, more rewarding than his present. In their hostile environment, the Kalahari Bushmen find enough to eat with less effort than most civilized peoples. Anthropologist Lee estimates that the Bushman's daily diet averages 2,140 calories and 93.1 grams (3.26 oz.) of protein-well in excess of the estimated daily allowance for people of their vigor and size (1,975 calories, 60 grams of protein...
...rule in Brazil, where half the continent's 180 million people live. Yet even before that event, armed forces were in command in four other im portant countries-Argentina, Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay-which stretch from the peaks of the Andes to the desolate plains of Tierra del Fuego...
...through the white-race depigmentation phase. If migration away from the equator produces lighter skins, says Loomis, reverse migration could have the opposite effect. In the mere 10,000 to 20,000 years since relatively light-skinned Mongols crossed from Siberia to Alaska and spread southward to Tierra del Fuego, there has been a natural selection in favor of the darker-skinned Amerindians between 40° north and 40° south latitude. Outside these boundaries, and in most of the dark rain forests of Brazil, the Indians are not appreciably darker than most Asiatic Mongols...
...hemispheric understanding by lofting into space a new satellite that would transmit television programs between north and south. Older was his plea for a barriers-down trading area in Latin America modeled on the Eu ropean Common Market. Javits envisaged a tariff-free trading zone stretching from Tierra del Fuego to the Rio Grande and embracing a population of 220 million with an annual gross national product of $78 billion. He hoped that the U.S. and Canada would ultimately join, forming a market that would dwarf the European Economic Community...
Javits foresees a barrier-free trading area stretching from the Rio Grande to Tierra del Fuego and embracing a population of 220 million, with an annual gross national product of $75 billion (v. the European Common Market's 180 million population and $250 billion G.N.P.). The area's sales potential would be so great that Latin Americans would be encouraged to manufacture their raw materials into finished goods themselves, thus not only creating new wealth and new jobs but also freeing the area from its forced dependence on exporting raw materials and importing finished goods. Javits envisions ultimate...
