'Extinct'
What? They talk about them as if they were animals.

Now, I'm not trolling, but why should we care if they become extinct. And I don't mean in the sense of killing them all, rather, why should we value nomadic tribes?​

Cause they look cool

Duh.




Nah, maybe cause we should appreciate every human? Would you find yourself asking "why should we value a family who has had their house burnt down" if you read about that in the newspaper?

Or maybe just as humans, we value the "different". Like, we might not full be really interested, but they do have an affect on us and that is some sort of value..

 

[Jay-Dupree]

Yeah that's right Shoubadoo,




I wasnt aware of any developing technology of this type without having serious conflict with other tribes in the area or having expansive war fare in mind, which is usually what drives technological advancement, this is what lead me to believe that they may have come in contact with other tribes or at the very least been discovered but have been ignored because their part of the Amazon is not to be bulldozed.. just yet.


Also, to be fair- we arent talking about some advanced longbows or curved hornbows or anything, just simple basic bows.

As for the bow and arrow question, think about it this way, think of the humans as one big tribe, now how did they get the bow and arrow technology? Martians? Gorrillas? Dogs? Nope, these were invented. I don't see why a tribe of people can't invent a simple bow and arrow without having to resort to war.

Anyway, I think when they mean uncontacted, it means uncontacted from the industrialised world, which is totally possible. The Earth is big enough to sustain 8 billion humans, it's just that the 6 billion around today are squeezed into concentrated places. Brazil, Indonesia, all have deep jungles that nobody could be bothered to go into, what's the point these days?

This looks exciting, I don't see why people doubt the validaty. Is Earth totally conquered by humans? There are no places that humans have never been to? We know everything about planet Earth? Of course not.

These pics are relly kool. It's kinda sad though that after centuries of isolation from other humans all they want to do is kill. Says alot for human nature

lol not sure how peaceful a low, hovering helicopter would seem for the first time.
These guys were freaked enough when they saw the Spanish on horseback.
Manimals!

 

[chicky_pie]

I can't tell whether you're trolling me right now, but ok.

I don't think we have any right to intrude. We don't need to go and visit them and rape them with disease, and we don't need to scare the fuck out of them with helicopters. I bet they're sitting around their campfires preparing for an apocalypse or something.

All you'd have to do to ruin their culture would be to drop down a bundle of Playboy magazines from a plane into their village.

 

[your.knee]

worst. tans. ever.

 

[xJennax]

It's amazing to think these people have never had contact with outside world...amazing pics.

LOL the orange ones do look like the minions from the game in Diablo2, especially with the poses HAHA

ohhh... for some reason the high aerial perspective of how the photos are captured kind of emphasise the power of contemporary society today
i say we leave them alone

 

[Serius]

we must seem like gods to them.

I would like to see contact made, offer up some technolodgy [simple shit they can understand, like a fire hearth] learn their language and slowly develop trade like medicine etc in exchange for meat or something, maybe they can integrate in a few decades or something.

 

[iilinga]

best to leave them alone really...i mean, they're so isolated, they won't have any immunity against most of our diseases, and the record for "civilised" humans coming into contact with "savage" tribes hasn't exactly been great...they'd be gone in a decade if we interfered, much better to leave them in peace, least there's more motivation to stop logging in amazon!

 

[The_highwayman]

The whole concept is a little reminiscent of brave new world to me.

But they reminded me of characters from 'planet of the apes' first

 

[justanotherposter]

The whole concept is a little reminiscent of brave new world to me.

yeah, reminded me of the savage reservations in BNW.

lol hey, can we have a little fun with em? like new survivor, only it's paris hilton living with the savages. i would watch that.

 

[shannonm]

anyone manage to find their row of huts using google earth?

i'm more interested in why their huts are positioned in a linear fashion as opposed to a circular one, which u'd imagine would be a more secure set-up.

 

[zstar]

Throw them some coca cola.

 

[Mumma]

Throw them some coca cola.

or maybe some petrol.

 

[iamsamx]
