Nomads and settlers

Have you ever driven or flown across Australia or the USA or Canada? You can drive for hours and never see a human being.
Original people were nomads.  They could have gone anywhere.
Modern cities cram immigrants into tiny areas leaving most of the country untouched.
Singapore is a tiny filled island. So is New York.
I am a city person.
Contrast continents, places where a nomadic tribe could so easily live as they once did. But they would have a life expectancy of 30, no hospital, no TV.
I am not a camping enthusiast.
But if you are, and want to live that way, a hermit or a whole tribe could disappear into the wilderness for three generations and never be found.
