What do you think about it?
Define “most successful”.

Halting funding for that corrupt organization is a good idea. What exactly has the WHO accomplished with the massive amount of $$$ we the taxpayers give them?

Half a billion in the aggregate annually, 55-60m per year assessed, not total.
Surely you’re conversant with the evolution of our species.
That would make Australia’s indigenous people up there as one of, if not the most, successful.
That doesn’t work very well since it was the longest period in human history by more than a hundred thousand years.

For a few million, tough luck to the billions our system can support. And no, they weren’t longer lived then we are today even if you discount infant mortality.

Indeed. The hunter-gatherer adaptation was the most successful in the history of our species. Sedentary life, urbanization, cities, states, and civilization is new. The jury is out.

As it should be.
The world has lots of questions.

And deservedly so. The Western World provides about 3/4’s of their funding and they remain actively engaged in the Cover UP with China.
No, it was the longest because they took a couple of hundred thousand years to develop a social structure that allowed for ever larger communities and because the rate of increase in science and technology was at a literal snails pace.
It was certainly not successful in the long term as the families and clans were repeatedly wiped out in natural disasters and by each other when they intruded on each others hunting grounds.
The greatest success in human history began with moving to an agrarian and then technological society.
Northern Europeans were able to conquer the world because during the ice ages they learned to come together in ever larger cooperative societies to survive.
Once that period in history was over, the same community/cooperative tradition allowed them to then dominate the rest of the know world that had not been forced into such adaptions because they were not so affected by the advancement of the glaciers.
Instead they died from broken bones and dental problems.
More has been learned about how those tribes lived and died in the last 20 years than anyone would have ever thought possible.
It was a miserable existence in which humans lived more like wild animals than modern humans and they suffered from all the same natural means of injury, illness, and death that affected wild animals.
It’s why the total human population remained rather flat for nearly the entire period. Families, clans, and Tribes simply disappeared sometimes over night due to “climate change”, battle/wars, and disease or when a herd of Bison decided to flatten a village instead of being driven off of cliffs en masse.
