James Woodburn's last research visit to Hadza country was in 2017.Few anthropologists have maintained active research with the same group for 59 years.In 1958, as a young Cambridge anthropologist, James arrived in Hadza country with no idea where the people were nor what language they spoke.Meeting two Italian brothers seeking to earn enough money by hunting elephants for passage to America, James soon met the Hadza when they saw the vultures flying over one of the elephant carcasses and came to feast.Unable to effectively communicate during those first few months, James lived in fear that the Hadza would abandon him during the night.Indeed, he later recounted that one of the men from that original camp told him decades later that they had planned to abandon him, but never got round to it.
