Many anthropologists consider the Lower Omo Valley, in Ethiopia, to be the cradle of Mankind. Several ethnic groups including the Mursi currently inhabit the region, living in surroundings that seem nearly unchanged from the Bronze Age. Unfortunately, the Mursi could be in immediate danger of government removal from their traditional lands in order to make way for a privately managed park.
The Mursi were photographed by Remi Benali.
