Tribes uncontacted by man - facinating

[Bubo]

If the people chopping the rain forest down ever want those guys out the way, all they have to do is show them a Sky+ box and they'll be gone in seconds.

 

[FeFiDoh]

The moment we made contact their way of life became instantly under threat. Sad really.

 

[Sankari]

Is that a bad thing? I'm not saying we have a better society. Because I think they do. But it's human nature to explore and to evolve. It just feels like we are stonewalling them like a museum piece. Rather than for any real reasons.

Given that they would most likely be wiped out by the first cold or flu they contracted from us, this isn't really a good idea.

 

[Bakedgoods]

How exactly are these reporters going to communicate with them?

If highly doubt they speak an eligible to us language if they've never had any contact outside their tribe.

 

[Sankari]

Re aliens: I imagine they are a bit pompous and supercilious, just like us. "Oh look at these fascinating humans trickling along their evolutionary path. How interesting they've cobled together a ram shackle space station with a broken toilet....just fascinating. Let's protect them from our rampant progress and not let them see our warp drive ships with their one flush and it's gone loos.

They could at least stop by and fix our loo.

 

[Third Opinion]

I would leave alone they may be cannibalistic. eekk

I'm reading a book called English Passengers at the moment which is about English settlers, sailors, prisoners, geologists, missionaries et al descending upon tasmania and the aboriginals. It's fiction but woven into solid history. Plenty of humour but at its root it is a very compelling read about a way of life being destoryed by well meaning (mostly) outsider. It's a good read Brooker Prize shortlist etc. Seems relevant to this so may be of interest to someone.

Actually many of them will die from disease brought in from the outside world that they have no immunity to.

Thats kind of a myth, if people are screened before they go in they will be fine. How many tribes have been wiped out like this?

 

[HEADRAT]

Really, well they are reporting on the BBC that they will have no immunity to things such a chicken pox and flu

In Peru, more than 50% of the previously-uncontacted Nahua tribe were wiped out following oil exploration on their land in the early 1980s, and the same tragedy engulfed the Murunahua in the mid-1990s after being forcibly contacted by illegal mahogany loggers

not really a myth at all is it?

They want to go in and stip the forest, they not really going to be bothered about "screening" people are they.

 

[wordy]

I'd rather they be left alone to determine their own path really.

fair enough.

I'm talking about people who wasn't to make contact. not large corporations. Hopefully the loand and resources would be protected by the goverment before any meeting.

 

[Dr.EM]

Very interesting. Their way of life must be so different from ours, but not necessarily worse. In fact, I wouldn't be suprised if on the whole they were happier than a lot of civallised society. Contact shouldn't be made imo.

While this news heartens me that there are still people like this living on our planet with no need or desire to be in contact with the outside world, I also think it's disgusting at the intrusion into their lives. If the Brazilian government wanted to protect their land they could no doubt have done so without disturbing the tribe in the way that they have.

I'd also question the use of an aeroplane when they have perfectly capable satellite technology that could have been used to monitor these people and 'prove' their existence to the outside world.

I fear this is the beginning of the end for this poor tribe.

Why should the government intrude in some peoples lives and not others? I'm sure a lot of people would be chuffed if the government left them alone...

i envy them their isolation from the outside world.. but yeah looks like the beginning of the end for them Modern man is coming for a visit..

 

[Glaucus]

if they don't want to be disturbed fine. But why shouldn't we go and introduce are selfs taking proper precautions. They might not know about the outside world. I still don't understand why all the hatred for going and exploring.
