Fascinating article here about an American who's been arrested for trying to make contact with the Sentinelese tribe of North Sentinel Island, purportedly the most isolated people in the world...

Prisoner is a better title than pincushion.

Some narcissistic idiot that thinks the rules don't apply to them. Having no concern that their selfish act could result in the entire tribe going extinct.

The prime directive?

Amazing that such a group (tribe) of people still exist today.
There are still some in the Amazon


We are doing our darnedest to mess up the Galapagos wildlife.

The Spanish Conquistadores wiped out close to 70% of indigenous Aztecs by exposing and infecting them with a form of Salmonella to which the Aztecs had no immunity.

The Most Isolated People In the World....

...should be left the heck alone by EVERYONE. I do mean EVERYONE. I could list my reasons as to why but I think everyone here pretty much gets it.

I thought this thread was going to be about life on Kerguelen.

Too bad they didn't off this one.

If we really wanted to observe these people without disturbing them, we have drones to observe them.

History will record that one of the greatest tragedies to afflict the human race in the 21st century was the almost universal loss of understanding of the word "no".

The Imperial Japanese Army occupied the Andaman Islands during WW 2, and they certainly weren't concerned with protecting the integrity of the isolated cultures. I wonder if they made contact. I guess we'll know the answer if the Sentinelese defend against intruders with Nambus and Arisakas.

At times I envy their solitary existence.

I think 99% of the world's problems wouldn't exist if there weren't any people to cause them. Then there would only be animals killing each other, global warming and freezing, and mass extinction events...
