Colin Turnbull was born on November 23, 1924 and he died on July 28, 1994. He was a famous British and American anthropologist who researched the Mambuti Tribe. This were some little men and women most of them; African American. They had never had contact with advanced society; they had lived in a very dense forest, so they had never seen more than tan feet beyond them. So when this Colin Turnbull arrived to their tribe they were surprised and did know how to react but he was teaching them some things of the outside world. When Turnbull took one of the indigenous to the valley he was freaked out when he saw some bulls far away and he thought that those were bugs but Turnbull took him where the bulls were so as they got closer to them he watched how the bulls were getting bigger. At first he thought it was witchcraft but after that Turnbull explained of perspective. He said that he did not like this place because it did not have trees. This was because he was used to a place with trees and now that he was with no trees he was feeling strange or in other words, not comfortable.
