Can anyone help me find this book?  I do not know the title or author.  What I do remember is this: The book was set on a spaceship but you were not aware of that at first.  The principle character is a savage moving through jungles - he hunts, and explores his surroundings.  I believe he is part of a tribe and their are other tribes.  This is their world and it is all they know.  I believe he loses his way or questions strange things that he cannot explain.  He, and all the others on board, does not know that he is really on a spaceship that has been traveling for a very long time.  Something had went wrong in the long journey and many generations had passed.  Plants and animals had spread throughout their "world".  I believe the ending finds them at their destination and the ship splits up into sections.  This is really all I can remember.  The book was not very thick and the copy I had 25-30 years ago looked old.  I would love to find a copy of this and re-read it.  If only I could remember the the title and author.

Starship by Brian Aldiss would be my first guess: Starship

I'm pretty sure it is Starship. In fact, I just read this a couple of years ago.
