Photos of uncontacted Amazonian tribe.

[manifold]

I didn't know there were any left.

Somebody gets around a little or there wouldn't be such a huge discrepancy in the coloring.....my guess is somebody grabbed a slave somewhere down the line, which means they have a lot to answer for in about 300 years.

Are they shooting at the plane?????

According to the story, they've painted their bodies.

Exactly.

There are thought to be a hundred or so such tribes in remote areas of the Amazon.

 

[Dirt McGirt]

If you look really closely, one of them has an empty glass coke bottle.

In a week from now they will have their first Starbucks store ...

 

[Diuretic]

Courageous little buggers though, out there firing arrows at the aircraft.

Where they hang out for hours posting to message boards about uncontacted civilisations still in existance outside the Amazon.

Their level of contact is minimal, they are not isolated -- but they are still savages

Their huts and level of ritual indicates on going contact and a regional tribal society. Like other remote jungle groups that are still in a near-neolithic state, though, I question if they missed out on some important city-builder genetic updates.

Should they be left alone as part of the fauna in a nature preserve, enslaved as prehensile donkeys, put on government subsidies, or given small pox blankets?

I think I have some blankets left with the family papers and heirlooms if we decide to go with the last option.

HA!


I thought that same thing!


The gods ARE crazy!

I couldn't remember the name of that movie but it was a riot.

When the time is right they will travel and come across the civilized world on their own account, until then I think we should leave them a lone.

Yes, but what if they are practicing a religion which permits old men to have sex with underage girls?

That's almost sure to be a given, since their likely life span is under 40.

 

[Shogun]

Talk about a case FOR evolution... I wonder what the hell jebus was thinking when he snapped his fingers and created the Amazon rain forest chock full of non-christians!?!

Huh? I don't think of men under 40 as being old.
Maybe you are being obtusely sarcastic.

 

[Shogun]

you might if you came from a culture with a life span of 35 years.

That makes sense.
