Might I suggest you go look into the footage of 'unexplainable objects' a little further. The one you display is very clearly a passenger plane shown in thermal vision. I'm not really aware of any evidence of the zoo hypothesis and if anything the great video you've presented is an example that it's very unlikely that we would live undisturbed by an extraterrestrial civilization.

[@StefunnyStrange]

I’m really impressed with India for their compassion and empathy for this tribe and their will to protect them when they don’t have to. There’s really no advantage for India to pour money into their navy to ensure these people aren’t bothered any further. It’s admirable and my respect for India just went up!

[@brar1320]

Though having many 3rd world problems. A few things about India surprise me, and I'm an Indian.

[@Deira854]

Europeans are uneducated. I am from India, this is island has always been located in Indian territory (Bay of Bengal), yet these people are saying they are related to Chinese and Japanese Lol. These people should learn that Indians have tested neighboring tribes like Jarawa and Onge, who also look African, they show clear genetic relation to people of India, because Indian dna is part of the original dna related to the people who came from Africa some 80-100 thousand years ago

[@robertwadas]

Really... believe every story you here ? Today, a road runs through Jarawa territory; tourists drive it with their windows down and cameras ready, like visitors to a safari park. Survival International, a London-based charity that advocates for isolated indigenous peoples, has published photographs and videos that show Jarawa dancing beside parked vehicles, in return for bananas and other food.

[@Deira854]

@@robertwadas Those are some random tourists who are doing that. The government has built clinics for Jarawas to take care of them. Indians overall have taken care of these Islanders way better than Europeans or East Asians would. They would have been wiped out by now 100 %, like all the other indigenous people. Remember just 80years ago in Europe you use put Africans in zoos for entertainment. These islands have been part of India so since 3000 years and in fact Indians are genetically related to them

[@StefunnyStrange]

@@robertwadas I don’t know what you’re talking about and admit ignorance from that topic. I said my respect went up because it is usually lower for various reasons. The major one being how my grandma was scammed and how my aunt was scammed and lost her house, and how the Indian government doesn’t do anything about scammers praying on elderly Americans. So I was kinda mad at India for that. But this story just elevated my respect. I’m not sure what’s wrong with saying that. And when I looked into this story about the island, it appears to be true and is even acknowledged as what’s happening by the US so I don’t know what you’re talking about exactly. It’s not some conspiracy. They are protecting the island.

It's worth noting that the most friendly contact by far was achieved the one time they allowed a woman, anthropologist Madhumala Chattopadhyay, to join the mission. She was able to engage with them close up and even play with and hold the children. One wonders what could have been achieved if they had tried all female missions.

[@alexburke1899]

At a certain point I think it’s too dangerous for the islanders because of immune system differences, that have probably only been exacerbated in the last century because of world migration. We’ve built immunity to lots of different viruses from other continents over the centuries, but part of that immunity was the large number of the most susceptible people that died initially. If they do visit that island with permission they should probably act like it’s the moon and disinfect and quarantine everyone involved because it would suck to bring them a disease that wiped them out.

I don’t have an anthropology degree or even a huge anthropology interest, but agree and think that most people, and certainly modern anthropology, considers essentially forcing intrusive contact with peoples who clearly don’t want it is hugely discouraged, or outright condemned. And in comments, even many Christians and Evangelicals considered his actions very misguided, even from a missionary standpoint.

I had heard about the missionary who had been speared/ killed while attempting to proselytize/ convert others to his belief system. You covered it as thoroughly and within the context of a broader way of looking at an isolated tribal group. I agree with you that it is enough to know that mesolithic people still inhabit the earth in what ought to be respected territory inhabited for 10's of thousands of years. The 'modern' way of life has removed humans from the natural world or rather created an adversarial relationship of exploitation with the planet. This should not be imposed upon all groups of humans. The Sentinalese percieve the 'modern' world as a threat to their existence, where as, the 'modern' world would no sooner want the Sentinalese way of life imposed on them. Let it be enough to know there are tribal groups who live in the ancient ways. Excellent documentary.

You've done a really wonderful job here and I found the whole video quite riveting. I also very much like your voice and tone - it's not often I can listen to a voice speak for 40 minutes without it becoming annoying! Regarding the inhabitants, I have found myself wondering how it's possible that such a healthy people with, as you said, children, babies and pregnant women, have not overpopulated their small island. Do you have any theories about that, @ North02? Various unsavoury (to me) practices have gone through my mind as I think of how they might keep their population down to fit the space. Would there be dangerous beasts also on land? It seems unlikely. I'm sure death comes from childbirth, pre and post-natal complications, infections from injuries, sharks ... but what else unless there are rituals designed to weed out the weak or otherwise less desirable members?

[@Hollylivengood]

I love any and all videos like this. Not sure how I feel about contact. As a kid, our school had a large influx of refugees from southeast Asia. The "boat children." Our town was a farm community, a lot of people were foster parents, and language education was already in place because we were on a regular circuit for migrant labor to keep their kids in school as they traveled and harvested. Maybe that's why so many were there, but anyway, some of my friends had been hunter gatherer people. I mean shooting arrows at helicopters, running naked, living like the stone age. They could memorize huge amounts of information without effort, and learning languages was no problem for them, they came here knowing two or three already, so English was a no brainer for them. It's amazing the high intelligence it takes to keep all the knowledge of hunting and gathering wild things in your mind, I wonder if our life style is actually making us dumber. They had varying views about contact, but most of them were glad. Like my one friend was saying the highlight of their day had been bringing in a food source. It took all day, it took everyone. Everything took everyone. And everyone told everyone how great they were at their part, and they were all pretty happy. This was a great way to be, but then she kind of liked hopping into the shower and having hot water. Sort of hard to know if that's a bad thing.

The modern human is a child in comparison to people who live this lifestyle. IT's the most physically and mentally challenging form of existence there is.

[@reganpt1]

@@MrBottlecapBill I mean it's what you know from the environment you've lived within isn't it. I'm pretty sure if you gave a Sentinelese a 9 to 5 job and sat them in traffic for two hours a day they'd want to blow their brains out by the end of the week...

[@Struudeli]

​@@MrBottlecapBillDomestication causes all other animals to stay babylike, so of course that affects humans too. We have domesticated ourself and so we become physically and mentally more childlike little by little. Now is that a bad or a good thing? Probably both depending on exacts.

Indian anthropology professors: make careful trips to North Sentinel Island, leave after realising they're not doing any good Religious fanatic John Chau, after taking anthropology courses at university:

[@misskate3815]

Chau was a jackass, but he was being manipulated by a Christian organization. I forget the name, but they’ve been likened to a cult.

[@swirvinbirds1971]

Ikr... Nevermind the dude purposely put himself in that situation and then basically says to God, I will die if it is your will. God didn't send you to the island you did.

John Chau is sad but a perfect example of someone trying to force their own ideology on to others not asking for it with predictable results.

This is the most exhaustive research I have ever seen done on the North sentinelese uploaded to KZbin! Within the first 10 minutes I had heard so much information I'd never heard before, but for you to have a whole 40 minute video!? You should be proud of your work and I hope your channel reaches the stratosphere.

[@rebeccalovell5072]

Really enjoyed this! Was very interesting.

[@user-ic2oo1zi5r]

Finally, I found a channel on KZbin that's educational and mind opening to me! I really appreciate the content you give us👏

[@6teezkid]

Thank you for uploading this video! There are a few 2 minute videos showing the natives along side the beach trying to warn people to go away. But nothing going in length about them and their encounters with today’s world. I’ve been looking forward to someone doing a documentary on this island and it’s people. Fascinating because they live like their ancestors have for thousands of years. I didn’t know about that large ship that went aground and took them 18 months to dismantle it. When the foreigners left, imagine what they thought about what they saw onboard! We are completely alien to them.

[@elsakristina2689]

This is the best video I’ve seen on the Sentinelese next to GenoSamuel’s video on them. They are absolutely fascinating, they’re really very lucky, and some of these details and photos are new to me even though I’ve known about them for several years. I love that you talk about them like normal people trying with everything they have to defend themselves and their home instead of sensationalising them like a lot of people do. It wouldn’t shock me if they had ever had a feud or conflict with one or more neighbouring tribes sometime in the past, and with those oral histories going through the generations they’d never forget it.

This is not what I expected. Quality, masterful storytelling, exceptional well curated visuals, but deepest dive, mindbending, existential work like this is next level. Congratulations, you've added new steps to the arc of storytelling, through rising action and climax to existential crisis, then epiphany to empathy. I'm still not sure my words captured the journey, but I do know the cumulative effect was a journey to a new place, a new reality. 🖖😎

Any video that brings up a "Zoo Hypothesis" about the Earth and extraterrestrials is NOT a good video. He sounds like a Tin Foil Hat guy at the end.

[@patrickpilkington6241]

@@michaelsinclair8018 perhaps. I cannot deny a valid point that you make here. However; I also cannot dismiss the merits of an otherwise comprehensive effort with details previously unheard and not before chronicled. Good editing, good narration, and a lack of particular clear bias. I liked the point covered about the other Andamanese being made fearful by the Sentinelese aggression, gestures, posturing, and belligerency. Something maybe deeply engrained there. Maybe I’m tinfoil Timmy now but, hey… it was a KZbin documentary made by an amateur film maker/content creator. It was fun, it was amusing, it was informative. What have YOU done for me? What do you know about YOUR local zoo. Finally… Canada is Americas Hat. Peace.

I'd love to see how their bows are made. Bows are hard to make using modern draw knives,planes,files and other tools.

[@Alizudo]

The earliest evidence of a bow (that I'm aware of) is 60,000 years old. All it really requires is a knife, a strong tree, and patience.

[@blackbiker1961]

You should take a boat and go there.

[@JcoleMc]

​​@@Alizudo Yes but those bows are quite crude and do not shoot arrows very far From Antiquity to the middle ages Bows and arrow making were a skill , much like how guns are manufactured today , the quality of the bow matters alot

[@Alizudo]

@@JcoleMc It also depends on the materials available. Yew and bamboo are particularly good for making bows out of, and animal muscle makes for especially strong string. As crude as they may be, discovery of new techniques happens very rapidly in a skill like this; even within a single person's lifetime, the quality of the bows can drastically increase. And when their lifestyles depend on their bows being ready and able at all times, I don't doubt they're quite capable at making them; stone tools be damned.

[@DivyenduKashyap]

@@jacobesyas9801 they've made it clear that they do not want help, let alone a drastic change in their lives. Besides, look at all the native communities that were "integrated" into western societies. Almost all of them end up poor and have their lives ruined. Also, we could study these people from a distance, perhaps with more covert drones in the future and learn a great deal about hunter-gatherer societies as these people have had very little contact with the outside world, something that is rare among such groups today.
