There's such a human community to be found on a certain planet in a sci-fi book from a series called...wait for it... Requiem for Homo Sapiens. And in an episode of Star Gate. And I guess in many other pieces of fiction created decades ago. We're just, for some reason, chasing after some ideas of the past already proven to be bad. Or was it the inevitable evolution?
