Of more than 100 uncontacted tribes worldwide, more than half live in either Brazil or Peru, Survival International says. It says all are in grave danger of being forced off their land, killed and ravaged by new diseases.

Agreed! They have made it this far unaffected by "Modern living" and they seem to be doing well!

I find it amazing that in this day instant contact like email and texting there are people who have no idea anything like that exists. Imgaine what they would think if you dropped them off in a city. I love how things are more convenient things are but part of me woud like a life like that. Dont have to worry about bills, gas prices whats going to happen witht he government, etc. All you worry about is finding food and water.

Bill Bryson, in A Walk in the Woods: "I remember reading once how some Stone Age Indians from the Brazilian rain forest with no knowledge or expectation of a world beyond the jungle were taken to Sao Paulo or Rio, and when they saw what it contained-- the buildings, the cars, the passing airplanes--and how thoroughly at variance it was with their own simple lives, they wet themselves, lavishly and in unison." |
