The primitive hut is a concept in the history of architecture that alludes to its origin as a logical consequence of human development. Societies modify the environment and create architectural spaces in response to room needs. Which are the product of the sedentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abTherefore, on the occasion of the fire, meetings, assemblies and life in common arose among men, which were increasingly seen in one place; (\u2026) Some began to obtain roofs using branches and others to dig grottoes under the mountains, and some to do, imitating the nests of the swallows with mud and branches, enclosures where they could shelter. Then, others, observing the roofs of their neighbors and adding new ideas, were improving their hut types day by day. (\u2026) At first they planted horcones, and intertwining them with branches they raised walls that covered with mud; others built, with lumps and dry lawns, on which they placed crossed timbers, covering all this with reeds and dry branches to protect themselves from the rains and heat; but so that such roofs could withstand the winter rains, they topped them on end and covered them with mud so that, thanks to the sloping roofs, the water slipped.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a human group that still lives in a phase prior to the primitive hut. In the North Sentinel Island<\/a><\/strong> Its inhabitants have been living as hunter-gatherers for tens of thousands of years, obtaining what they need from the ecosystem without altering it, the Sentinelenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On November 17, 2018, the death of a preacher on the part of an indigenous uncontacted tribe on the North Sentinel Island, located in the Andarman islands, India, was news. This unfortunate incident drew the attention of the general public about the existence of this tribe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sentinelenses are the only isolated human group in the Old World, they inhabit that island since the Pleistocene. They do not know the navigation and it is possible that their ancestors came walking from the continent when the sea level was much lower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
