Itoshimas

Itoshimas are a species of aged, uncontacted people residing in the isolated Ituri Rainforest of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Generally living in small nomadic groups of five to twenty individuals. Recorded interactions reveal a primitive appearance and lifestyle. Tales from rare encounters indicate their routines consist largely of hunting, foraging, and tool-making. They utilize hand tools made from readily available materials and employ plant-based dyes, weaves, and fibers to create clothing and decorative adornments. Some observers report noticing seeming relationships between these groups, but sustained contact is deemed too invasive to consider.

Limited data suggests distinctions between intimate relationships and affiliations are likely grounded in non-pathological relationships rather than kinship or ancestral ties. This has developed due to historical difficulties in maintaining stable social hierarchies and norms.

Itoshimas raise young within small family units with no clear boundaries between begotten and adopted or otherwise reared individuals. No strict roles demarcate positions. They appear to adhere to an unstructured ad-hoc system where social organisation can be highly conservative and adaptable.

Early studies propose multiple possible explanations for Itoshima behavior about cell migration. More extensive work needs multiple spans of lucid communication and requires patience from forces of researchers attempting more content with unproached aboriginal character.

Absolute information is mostly scarce.
