At the beginning of this millennium, most of the human race consisted of tribes of hunters and nomads. At its close, there are only a handful of uncontacted tribes left - a poignant reminder of how rich and varied our species once was, and how that diversity is being steadily eroded by the onslaught of new communications technologies relentlessly transforming us all into a social monoculture. This thesis underpins Adrian Cowell's remarkable new trilogy, set in the Brazilian Amazon. Cowell - one of this century's great documentary story-tellers - goes back to the Amazon to trace the history of three tribes on the edge of extinction: the Panara (Return from Extinction), the Uru Eu Wau Wau (The Fate of the Kidnapper) and the Ava-Coneoiro (Fragments of a People).
