I know I might be reading too much into this, but to me this seems like a metaphor for human evolution. It starts off with the humans not being able to walk properly, or even stand upright. From there, it moves onto savage, near ape-like movements. The humans begin having relationships and conflicts with one another, as seen in the women dancing with the men at 0:44 and the aggressive fight at 0:53. Afterwards, organization grows stronger, with a shaman/leader in the middle and the others beating the drums. The sticks used by the background dancers shortly thereafter might represent clubs or primitive swords, symbolizing more advanced and organized conflict. Then, the humans begin raising their arms and faces to the sky with an almost rapturous expression, possibly signifying the induction of reason or a soul. Their movements become less jerky and more fluid, before they all fall to the ground, indicating the end of humanity. Or it just might be some wicked awesome dancing, I dunno.
