TRIVIA - YANOMAMO INDIANS



I
n the rain forests near the border of Brazil and
Venezuela, the Yanomamo tribe had a unique practice: Until a woman gave birth to a son, she killed her female infants, and she could do away with all unwanted children, regardless of sex, once the first son was born.

Yes, it's infanticide. They are not governed by any laws, except nature.
