The Indian government acted correctly in banning all visitors to the island. These people have the right to remain Isolation from the rest of the world and live their own life. They are extremely vulnerable and have no resistance to common illnesses. If people were allowed to visit Sentil then the inevitable would happen. The island would eventually get ruined by tourism or prospectors would come looking for valuable things such as gold, silver, diamonds etc etc. I expect if this were the case then the native people would be forced to mine the stuff and be shamelessly exploited.

[@itsapittie]

Maybe it has; we have no way to know. However, isolated societies throughout history have developed a number of ways to deal with the results of inbreeding to include executing any child that shows signs of defects or preventing people who aren't "normal" from reproducing. I'm not saying the Sentinelese do that but it's one of the possibilities. Inbreeding is a problem when it reinforces recessive genes that have negative consequences. In theory, a society could eventually cull out all the problematic genes through selective reproduction although as far as I know that has never happened. I've read that cheetahs are so inbred that they don't reject a skin graft from another cheetah. I suppose the same sort of thing could happen with people.

you need a fire for far more than warmth. You need it for cooking (as humans thrive off of cooked food). Fire also used to keep away dangerous animals and bugs.

Which they highly preferred. Primitive doesn't mean inferior. All people who've lived in harmony with their land, have discovered ways to treat various wounds and ailments with the various plants and animals around them, and quite a few modern medicines are derived/ refined from plants, even today. In fact, there are so many chronic illnesses, stress, depression and diseases plaguing modern man, I'd bet those who've given modernity the finger, live healthier & happier than everyone living with a smartphone, a sense of entitlement, constant stress and a much higher chance of chronic pain or disease today.

@@ab-15188 I mean, if the story of Adam and Eve is actually meant to be taken as literally two people (instead of the terms 'Adam' and 'Eve' equating to 'man' and 'woman' respectively), the explanation would most likely be that genetic deficiencies had not yet entered the human genome, and as such, interbreeding did not produce the same harmful results that it would later on in humanity's future. If we are taking the Bible at face value, we also need to consider that ancient peoples apparently lived for hundreds of years. The recorded lifespan of humans in the Bible seem to gradually decrease with each generation after the global flood. With this in consideration, it could be assumed that significant changes in the earth's atmosphere (and all of nature) post-flood, resulted in drastically more harsh environmental and atmospheric conditions than they were prior to the flood, which not only reduced our lifespans, but also introduced numerous diseases and genetic abnormalities that did not exist prior.

damn those kids were the only two sentinalese to ever be taken off the island, experience the outside weird world, then get returned.... they must have been legends to their people for as long as they lived.

[@arkamaiti2284]

No they were not legends. Those two men carried disease to that Island. After that incident the tribe became more hostile and aggressive.

[@ChristelVinot]

@@arkamaiti2284 Of course those sentinalese children were legendary. Look up the definition of legend since you don't know what it means. A traditional story, usually regarded as historical; an extremely famous or notorious person. Those kids are fuckin LEGENDS.

No fire. That’s the bit that got me. Imagine not having discovered fire. That really takes us back in time. Mind blowing. Yet they’ve survived so many events. Have seen flying machines, modern ships etc. what must they think the rest of the world looks like. When the women were returned in the late 1800s I presume they told their tribe of what they saw. So do they still imagine we live in Victorian times society? So many wondrous questions that hopefully we’ll never know the answer to. It’s a shameful reflection on us that they only know the bad side to the rest of the world. Kidnappers, arrogant bible bashers and bloody tourists.

Cannot blame them one bit.

Can’t blame them for murdering ship wreck survivors?

[@theforgeryttv6449]

@@undefined7141 How the hell are you going to bring an isolated tribesman into court for murder? I doubt they even understand that concept, only that they were defending their land.

Actually, these people are the true Wakandians. Under the island there is a thriving city run by vibranium.

At this point in time, sounds phenomenal to me!! Leave these people alone, they don’t need a thing from anyone!

[@chuckrobinson599]

They're being left alone so anthropologist can study them, there's no benovelent motivation in it. You can bet if there was gold on their island, they'd all be gone tomorrow.

[@Sorchia56]

@@chuckrobinson599 I thought the same thing. Greedy people are wondering what valuable goods, minerals, etc. are there definitely. Anyone who can use a bow and arrow to catch fish has my respect and I surely wouldn’t mess with them!

If the India government doesn’t allow people to try and contact them, this is exactly why. They want to be left alone, so some people just learn the hard way ..

Why are you okay with people killing people?

[@tiffanystarbeck2279]

@@timothymatthews6458 I’m not, this tribe keeps killing people over and over to anyone who tries to make contact with them. I think after so many people have tried and failed, even though this man had great intentions, it lead to his demise. Also, what kind of stupid question is “why am I ok with people killing people “ that is a ridiculous question!
