Description

"In many Orang Asli stories, the first humans were immortal. They and other early ancestors still are immortal, but their descendants are not. For the Jahai, the immortals live on fruits and other plant foods. A nectar-like substance, instead of hot blood, flows through their bodies. They know not sexual acts but produce children from the juice of ginger leaves."
