[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE] The Brasílians are thus described by Pigafetta. “They are without religion. Natural instinct is their only law. It is not uncommon to see men 125 years of age, and some of 140. They live in long houses or cabins they call boc, one of which sometimes contains a hundred families. They are cannibals, but eat only their enemies. They are olive coloured, well made, their hair short and woolly. They paint themselves both in the body and in the face, but principally the latter. --A Chronological History of the Discoveries in the South Sea Or Pacific Ocean ... By James Burney [/QUOTE]I'm trying to find the Italian on this, assuming this is the right text. I looked hard, many mentions of hair often long women's' hair. The above may be different sentences strung together https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Relazione_del_primo_viaggio_intorno_al_mondo [/QB][/QUOTE]
