"Untouched" tribes in the Amazon

[wfinley]

In the Guardian this morning. Hard to believe that there are still places like this left.

 

"Aerial images prove existence of remote Amazon tribe"

 

Deep in the Amazon jungle, one of the Brazil's last uncontacted indigenous tribes has been photographed from the air, to prove its existence.

Lets airdrop some fast food burgers, a television, and a portable generator to them immediately. They've got some catching up to do.

And bolt kits.

[olyclimber]

i say build walls around them and make them a reality show, sort of like a twist on the Truman Show.

Well, there was "Living with the Mek" already

[olyclimber]

problem with that one is they actually interact. i prefer the human fishbowl idea.

[olyclimber]

maybe throw an coke bottle down occasionally, like in the gods must be crazy.

[olyclimber]

[sobo]

Kind of like Newton and Leibniz and the invention of the calculus, hmmmm?

[builder206]

Maybe the comparison should be made a lower level of human achievement. Just sayin'
