The San, The Mundurucú, and Flats cultures live in different geological regions, adapting to different methods of survival. Alas, despite their different strategies for survival, all three tribes share some similarities to adapt and survive in their environments.
To Begin, all three tribes are based in the wilderness, thus forcing them to adapt to certain methods of survival. For example, as mentioned in Lee’s book, the San people live by a hunting and gathering system, but both men and women do equal work. This system is meant to keep their societies in tact and to take on the workload in their society, as means of survival in the wilderness. In a like manner, the Mundurucú culture’s method of survival are male-centric. The Mundurucú methods of

Their culture is revolved around methods of survival as poor Black families working hard to have shelter and safety for their families. Alas, all three cultures survival strategies vary based off their geological regions.
Moving forward, all three tribes differ in methods of survival because of the different geological regions. In Lee’s book, the San people of Africa have a survival strategy of foraging on mongongo nuts; a bundle is gathered up in truckloads by the men and women of the village. The reason behind this strategy is to bundle up on food for the whole village. This to sustain their appetite as a result of the very little food source available in the villages. In contrast, the Mundurucú tribe differs from the San. As a tribe based in Central America, their strategies for survival are different. For example, as mentioned by the Murphy’s in their book, the Mundurucú societal system is male dominated--the men hunt and gather to support their family and the women stay home and do the domesticated work. This method of survival is the system that helps keep
