* Their work week is short enough to make us drool in envy.
Our reliable food supply would make them spontaneously coitus.

* They enjoy almost unbelievable egalitarianism
Except the monarchy of tribal leadership and the occasional raids which would steal any women.

* The religious gasp at their high levels of sexual freedom, experimentation, and enjoyment.
Including a high degree of female genital mutilation and segregation of women during their periods as it made people unclean

* They're damn happy people, laughing freely way more than we do.
Except the constant struggle against famine, raids, disease, and death by a small cut caused by infections.

* Outside a division of labor, women have total social equality with men.
Yep, stay home. Cook, clean, and take care of the kids while dad goes off to work. Sounds advanced.

* They rarely resort to violence or war
Per person, warfare in tribal cultures were many times more prevelant.

* Strong social safety nets in most of their societies support the disabled, old, and in many cases, even the lazy.
You have one there, except the mentally disabled and lazy.

* They usually live to be at least as old as we do
If they lived past 25 they could.

* Their health is more robust than ours, and they're frequently immune to diseases ravaging their sedentary neighbors.
Tell that to the American Natives.

* Their social lives are rich, and they have the free time to indulge themselves.
So do we, only when we do it we don't need to worry about our next meal.

* With a few exceptions, their lifestyle lets them live in harmony with the arth, relying mostly on renewable resources, and keeping their numbers at a sustainable level.
AKA Over half the population dies before being able to reproduce.

* Their senses appear many times sharper than their own, and many seem curiously immune to extremes of temperature.
Um... we have more population living in the poles than ever before. Immunity to extreme temperature is a hoax, the population increase is due to increased reliable food supply.

* Their strength often seems unbelievable.
What we overcome often seems unbelievable.

* They intelligently use their time to create more productive environments that needs little care
We produce more with less effort in less space than they ever could dream. Their inefficiency is not a positive when it causes mass famines.
