  • Rare uncontacted tribe photographed in Amazon

    Amazon Indians from one of the world's last uncontacted tribes have been photographed from the air, with striking images released on Thursday showing them painted bright red and brandishing bows and arrows.

    Wow...now, watch the rest of us go in and muck it up even more than we already have.

    Note: Hopefully, this is the right place to put this item. If not, please tell me.

    Also, I didn't see that someone had beaten me to the punch on this one. If that's not the case, please inform me of that as well.

    Welp, so much for the Prime Directive

    Poor little guys, staring up at the helicopter (I'm assuming). If I was in an evil mood, I would introduce them to Jelly Bellies and then trade it with only the slackers of their community, just to see if I could topple their social structure.

      I know, can you imagine? These people know nothing about things like helicopters. I'm betting it scared the piss out of them.
      I can hardly blame them for brandishing their weapons at the helicopter. If I was in their position, I would have done the same.....well, not really. I'd be hiding.

        I just saw this item, too. I'm not even sure what to say except 'Leave 'em be'.

          Oh, it would be nice to just let them be, but greedy humans will be greedy humans. I'm sure we'll find several ways to exploit them and their home.
          We've been doing it for ages.

            In that case, you'd be the one I'd trade Jelly Bellies with.

              Oy, gevalt....now, I see the next Survivor season taking place there.
              And we all know that it's only a matter of time before Angelina Jolie adopts everyone in the bloody tribe!

                You should contact her agent and broker a deal!

                  I find it highly interesting. I think it is AWESOME that there is still some mystery in the world, and that there ARE isolated pockets of civilization that live life in the most humble way. I have a lot of fascination for people/tribes like that and would love to know more about them. Unfortunately, it is impossible to know these people with out some sort of out side influence rubbing off.

                    Yeah, they'd make good case studies. Like the fact they wear red paint seems to imply people are hard wired to be attracted to that color (probably because that's the color of blood?)

                      I think they'd be perfect for a Verizon commercial. Let's get them an agent.

                          Everything goes better with Coke?

                          There was a film made at least a decade ago, where a hidden tribe with no contact ever outside there immediate rhelm discovered a Coke bottle in the dirt.
                          It actually ended up destroying thier existance as they had known it for hundreds of years.

                            "The Gods Must Be Crazy" featuring the Bushmen of the Kalihari. They were not entirely pre-contact though. You'll remember that the Ranger Steyn's mechanic Sam Boga spoke their language. Great flick. You'll laugh till you cry.

                            A better parallel is in the film "At Play in the Fields of the Lord". Also a great movie. Kathy Bates is phenomenal.

                              Stone age cultures, when contacted by modern man, suffer from a lack of 5000 years of human social evolution. Even if they survive the contact for the first 100 years, in spite of disease they have no natural resistance to, they are doomed due to a lack of 5000 years of human social evolution. This, in a nutshell, is essentially what happened in Hawaii. As has been shown in Hawaii, it is very difficult for the people to shake off the old and adopt the new. In fact, the fondness for the shadow of the past is the greatest obstacle to success in the future.
