I searched for photos that showed teeth. Found a few. In one, there's a girl with lots of dental caries. Using Price's work as a benchmark, just a single example of lots of dental caries in a single individual is indication that the whole population must also suffer from the same. That's because in all the pages I read of Price's book, there's not a single exception to the rule of perfect dental health for traditional populations, nor is there a single exception to the rule of poor dental health in the same populations eating a modern diet. That girl with a mouthful of dental caries is the proverbial canary in the coalmine.

Accordingly, it's extremely unlikely that any report of near-perfect health, i.e. heart disease and such, in the Tsimane population is accurate to any degree. It's much more likely that any report on the Tsimane is given the full unbridled bias treatment.
