Well, RIP the old video. This time it includes all the nudity blurred out, so hopefully TH-cam won't demonetize and age-restrict it this time around.
Lol
TH-cam doesn't want us to know the truth
Ahh ok I thought I was losing my mind deja vu or something 😂
God damn
was able to watch it yesterday even without singing in
I love the fact that these people exist and that the Indian government is smart enough to leave them alone.
smart enough? you mean benevolent and generous enough. imagine if we, the modern world, acted as primal in reaction to the death of visitors trying to make contact.they'd be wiped in an hour. they literally live under the mercy of the modern worlds violence, just straight luck no one has decided to turn their island into a vacation resort. as violent as we are with each other, we leave them alone, as if they are some peon below our might. i mean, we tried to study them as if they're a foreign species until it was decided they weren't worth the trouble, just some pest; nothing more than a hornets nest. they sting, but we can do so much more.
@@SushiMane01 stfu and leave them alone. They are probably much happier without the this our world crap
This is definitely just generosity and Curiosity. If they were smart than they would try to claim the island and see if they can grab any possible rare resources.
@Irrelevant Oaf that wouldn't be smart at all, that would just be evil
@@laneyking2044 evil can be smart though.
I love how in these videos whenever it’s talking about the history of a place it’s just “they were living and just doing their own thing for hundreds of years”
“then the British arrived”
It's time for free real estate~
The British basically won the real life game of risk 😂
So the British Empire was the real life Fire Nation 😅
**"RULE BRITANNIA, BRITANNIA RULES THE WAVES"**
Imagine how better this world would've been without those fu*king brits 😒
Respect to the Indian government for making it illegal to enter- this kind of stuff is super cool to me and I’m glad they’re preserving it
Imagine if Native Americans were this successful😔
@@DCBikerR1 Different circumstances, if north sentinel island wasnt an island, and was just part of india or any other country, it wouldve been colonized with the rest of the world way back when. The sheer vastness of the water around them and dense forest on the island gives them security. Dont get me wrong we as a civilization are sparing them. we could easily use air superiority and demolish them.
*Respect for letting savage murderers get away scot-free with slaughtering innocent victims?*
*Barbaric murders are indeed "super cool", good thing they're been "preserved"...*
*The level or cretinism of some comments on here is off the charts.*
🤦🤦♂🤦♀
@@frontenac5083What they do isn't much different from border patrol shooting on sight around Mexico.
Heck, they have more valid reasons for doing what they do than what border patrol has. The last time they accepted foreigners on their island, the foreigners kidnapped their children (led by Maurice Vidal Portman).
If you want to see savage murders, go see the ongoing situation with the Uighur camps in China.
The fact that madhumala and pandit made it so close is that they had good intentions unlike others , the natives sensed it
Very true 💯
It was also because a woman accompanied them signalling no harm.
That's literally
Did you watch the same video the rest of us did?
The Sentinelese tried to shoot them the first like 40 times they tried. It took them years to get to the point that they could make contact
The fact that madhumala and pandit made it so close is that they were persistent unlike others
Plus idk about this "sensing it" nonsense
I think leaving gifts on their beaches for YEARS was a pretty good indication
@@harveyspecter111 Indeed, women are usually not warriors in tribal societies. Sure, the male warriors may teach their wives and daughters how to protect themselves and their children, but women are too valuable to endanger them to random hostility. You do not take a woman to a war party, and that was the unspoken language of group composition.

@@Cris_the_coder they are dozens or perhaps hundreds of experts hunters, you likey would be either killed by them or jailed by the indian gov.
Can you imagine how terrifying it would be for them if they don't have pigs on their island and we gifted them a pig. It would be like seeing an alien.
probably why they buried the dammed thing
It's still an animal. They could have eaten it. What a waste
@@marcoAKAjoe so if aliens from space landed in new york with some "food" you're telling me you would be all, "oh yum sign me the fuck up for whatever that shit is"
@@literatemaxsociety is being groomed to accept aliens aka demons in flesh form
@@antonylopez5742 Good. I welcome our superiors. They need to hurry the fuck up and save us from ourselves.
Somehow, I doubt they will.
I believe the aggression towards outsiders might be driven by the fear of competition for limited food on their island. Their population size is likely limited by the available food resources, resulting in a delicate balance between population and sustenance. This interplay between population and food availability could further contribute to their defensive behavior towards potential competitors.
I don't. Outsiders already brought disease and death to them once. Leave them alone
@@ItsMe-ic7on you don't what?
They live near a ocean… plenty of fish man, cmon
Meeting outsiders with violence is probably the key to their survival. History is filled with people who tolerated or helped newcomers only to be wiped out by that group after they set up shop and reinforcements.
I find this very racist. They don't have the right to own the island and decide who can settle there. There are no indigenous peoples, we all come from Africa. And with global warming, migration is inevitable.
They are more aware than you describe. As you stated, there have been numerous contact attempts, and they almost certainly see the planes and boats.
I have to wonder what their history and legends say about the rest of us, and whether they know the Indian patrols are there for their own sake and not just to spy. But these people have the right idea to keep living in a tight knit community and I'm glad there's been SOME peaceful contact. But the way human nature goes, those stories might not last as long as the ones about the abductions in the 1800s.
they probably see them as devices from aliens, and some of us might've went down as tales, but not in a good way.
Yes they see stuff but that doesn't mean they understand those stuff
The North Sentinalese got rid of an unwanted visitor, and that guy got to meet Jesus at a young age. It was a win-win
Dude , no need to be harsh, the Indian government did quarantine off for a reason, they are last surviving group of untouched (or mostly untouched) hunter gatherers of the tropical islands
@@dep3031 Well the tourist was too optimistic about his chances of spreading the faith. Everyone just feels like they can one up well funded experts.

Best comment ever
Can you imagine what it was like for the Sentinelese when they first boarded the Primrose? It had to have been to them like if an alien ship landed here and we were the first to board her. Imagine the awe, yet pure fear they must have experienced.
Imagine their history books after 1000s of years

Love from India 🇮🇳
I think it is really commendable of India to spend time,money and effort into protecting an island and its way of life with nothing selfish or worldly to gain.. They could have denounced it or done the bare minimum but they show real care towards the situation
You're right. Any Western country would have integrated the Sentinelese people into their culture by force, but India respects their desire to be left alone by, well, leaving them alone. And observing them from a distance.

i love the idea that there are humans on this earth who have no idea what modern earth is and are living like they did 1000s of years ago, its so fascinating
Fascinating like no medicine.
Imagine a rotting teeth in your mouth and no chance to make the pain go away.
They do know what modern Earth is; it is the Earth they are standing on
@@CordeliaWagner yea because they sure eat a lot of sugar that destroys their teeth .. their hygiene is probably fine if they're still alive on that tiny island
I suspect they know more about us than we know about them.
They did it to protect themselves from the diseases we carry! I just wish we could establish a lasting communication with them some day. Maybe in a Master Chief suit or something. Hermetically sealed, but protected. Dang. Just fascinating. I understand their story, and anything that comes to the island is a foreign invader and must be killed. Including our gifts. And anyone that leaves is tainted and would destroy the sanctity of the island's society and would probably be killed, too, if they ever came back. I would love to glimpse their funerary rituals. Just a shame we can't co-exist in some way. In some ways, though, I envy them. I definitely admire them. In some ways, they were the smart ones. They have a treasure of secret history and stories that are only for them, and they guard them with their lives. Because otherwise, they wouldn't be unique.
17:21 it may be..abit more naive than my usual thoughts, but I hope that last positive interaction made for some kind of “okay there are nice ones out there” kind of stories among them
The presence of a woman made it clear that they weren't being raided by a war party, but visited by another people. Such things really matter to a people with honed survival instincts.
I wonder if they'll ever create boats one day that are able to travel to Port Blair and discover our world. It would be extremely interesting to see how they react to real knowledge of the outside world.
I wonder if there is a single one of them that's curious about what's beyond their world and one day they venture out and see, then go back and inform the others.
If history is a guide, there’ll be war.
their immune system would take them out before they would be able to do that
@@tfoyrn9328Not if they stay on the boat.
I am honestly fascinated about them being an ark on human development. Although, they won’t get far without necessary technological resources.
John: I am here to spread peace
Sentinals: Rest in peace
Fatality!
🤣
Spread peace? Lmao selling people the promise of a spiritual safety net is not spreading peace
He didn't go to spread peace. He went to indoctrinate a tribe into his religion. It wasn't even 100 years ago Christians raped & tortured native american children in Canada. And many years ago would attempt genocide on any race/culture that did not convert
Glad he died, I hope it was painful & slow.
If Christians found this island before anyone, this tribe would be dead.
exactly.
i’m curious about how they explain all this within their own culture/lore. I can only imagine they tell mythical stories of themselves being visited by strange creatures and beings
I like to think that maybe they think of the other people as just another small island tribe, they really have NO idea of how unfathomably big the world and population is, they're so disconnected from the human civilization
"So yeah, basically these assholes keep coming over and abducting and diseasing us, so if you ever see some weirdos come by, just angrily wave a stick at them and they'll usually piss right off back where they came from."
Hmm, you can make a religion out of that. Maybe that's where we got many of our religions from.
yes. they'd say they were visited by mud bloods and that our impurity made it difficult for them to get past the charms protecting the island. their personal power was lost making them vulnerable. they'd say we are dependent on materials.
Same. Since they're in such close proximity to the airport on Port Blaire, what do they think the airplanes are? Giant birds? Gods?
I love how north sentinel island is all deadly and scary while south sentinel island looks exactly same but instead of deadly tribes it has red lobster
Dad walks into the room, unbuttons his jean shorts to give his beer-belly some extra room, taps himself on the stomach and says: "I dunno, boy, I've had a few deadly tribes of red lobster in my day. Mhm."

That island is basically when you forget that some of your units were off on a random patch of land in Civ, and you didn't upgrade them because of that.
Hahaha nice one
What I find fascinating is why so many feel the urge to want to force themselves onto a people who clearly just want to be left alone.
Well do they really want to be left alone? If given the level of understanding we have they would likely not wish to be stuck on that island
@@fanban2926 LEAVE THEM ALONE
No not really it's more God forbid they don't worship my special deities so therefore I need to save them. And forget how that went with native Americans just opened a history book .I don't think any of us really enjoyed being a displaced and buried under a school for Forced integration.
Leave them alone.
They are made up of individuals, each with their own opinion. 'A people' don't have one unified opinion, it might be the majority opinion, or the opinion of the leadership, but I'm sure there are individual variations, and probably individuals that don't agree at all.. you know like with all groups of humans
Shout out to the Indian government for protecting the independence of these people.
Or the safety of their own citizens.
@@bearboy879 bro we are protesting them
so you really think the army wont survive if they decided to ??@@bearboy879
Their kids die without medicine. I don't think they are happy.
Why? They live within India - they should be forced to follow Indian law
I wonder if it's possible to record audio from a distance to study their language? I think it would be so interesting to learn how they live without actually making contact.
I can imagine that once drones get decent range/runtime/small enough, that can happen
Definitely not with our current tech. Though I can conceptualize robotic birds and insects would be very effective, if they could be developed and convincingly disguised.
Like watching an ant farm with tiny microphones
Sure go ahead but tell us how it goes when you’re in the afterlife.
@JuwanBuchanan Bro saw "from a distance" and "without contact" and just yeah ima ignore those words.
The story of the ship crashing near the island and then them getting attacked by mysterious people they didn't know existed would make an amazing horror film
There are countless movies like that
King Kong was kind of like that
You could call it "The Island". If Michael Caine was still alive, he could be the star.

I hadn't known how close the island is to Port Blair. 25 km would simply be the next county over for me, I could drive it in 20 minutes. That close to the modern world but still separate.
Yeah, I never knew either. And to put it into a sea distance comparison it's nearly 50% closer than the closest point between Dover (England) and Calais (France). *And we can see the French coast from Dover on a clear day.*
It’s fascinating to imagine what stories they might be telling each other about the outside invaders and the abducted children who returned bearing gifts (and probably curses). Peak myth-making material right there.
And I can’t blame that for becoming mythic and portraying non-islanders like demons.

I've watched quite a few videos on this and you're the only one to mention the Japanese encounter during WW2. Considering the atrocities they commited during the Second Sno Japanese War.. i wouldn't blame the tribe for hating all of the outside world. The fact that all the documents about their encounter have been destroyed means we will never know the true horrors forced opon them. If anyone reads this comment and isnt familiar with the Second Sno Japanese War, look it up, its insane and not a "conspiracy theory" thing. It actually happened

@@abel.3000 wdym u can't land a ship there. sure u can.
Honestly for them, on one island, all of them probably just looking out for each other, it would probably be incomprehensible how much landmass there is, how many different cultures, and that most of us don't wish them harm. For all they know, the rest of humanity could be consolidated to the other Andaman Islands and the one peaceful contact was just some rogue group while the rest of the world is trying to infect them
i mean its no wonder they were so aggressive to new visitors. imagine them giving people their trust as they give them gifts and then one day they just diasppear and never return

Amazing story. Thanks for bringing it to us.
Given the way the Japanese military behaved in the Second World War, it’s interesting that they didn’t completely wipe out all of the North Sentinel islanders. Though maybe the islanders were smart enough to hide in the jungle and the Japanese thought it just wasn’t worth the time and effort to hunt them all down.

The idea that all the iron was left on an island with no iron for all of time absolutely blows my mind!
What's weird is that if they were shown for example a picture drawing of a village from like the 14th century, they would likely still be confused and surprised and might perceive even that as a "modern world", so imagine if we actually did bring the tribe over to lets say, New York or London or Madrid imagine their reactions. In my opinion if we want to maintain this tribe we should just leave them alone, cause like you said bringing that elderly Sentinelese couple over to Port Blair and them getting sick and dying is just proof that this tribe should be left alone, so when the tribe attacks us for going there, we shouldn't be surprised at all.
we don't know their life expectancy. old people get sick.. they die..
It would be fascinating to take one of them and bring them to Tokyo or New York. Imagine their reactions...

Madhumala Chattopadhyay actually made peaceful contact in the 90s and was allowed to help with food prep and watch after the children. Her approach was really smart and it probably helped that she was a woman. The Sentinelese women welcomed her and treated her like one of their own.

it seems like there might be multiple tribes considering how some encounters are immediately aggressive while others seem to be more cautious.
@Curio no, the island is quite big. I reckon it could have a population of over 500 if the there are multiple tribes.
@Curio it could support way more than 200. No accurate number of the population is known but the island can support way more than 200. Also tribes don't mean hundreds of people necessarily it could be a tribe of about 40-70 then another bigger Tribe or other smaller tribes or just one big group of hundreds.
@Curio Those statistics actually make it rather impressive that the Sentinelese have managed to keep that balance for so long. SOOOOOOOOO frequently humans mess up in small spaces like that, to include Polynesian explorers on Rapa Nui, for instance.
that is a perfect idea because of 1 thing they are scared of man like you know how they were more accepting of a woman that makes sense to us because we know historically it was always man that went to war but if they are alone on the island as 1 tribe who would be warring with them and why would they know that man mean war
@Curio it's roughly the same size as Manhattan, do you think there's less than 200 people in NYC?
I wonder what it was like for them to go onto the modern abandoned ship. Must've been like going onto an alien spaceship.
Might as well.
Knowing our technology I don’t know how people ever got killed well yeah cause they were definitely not smart, you could use a knight armor and never die from an arrow cause you know that’s what they were designed for and still be peaceful, just prepared with gas or some other non deadly crowd defusing tools and carry a set of scrolls telling them in visual language that you’re not hostage and that diseases were the real danger but that’s why you have a mask or something like that to prevent spreading disease

@@arpa9009they have a concept of home that Island is their home, and they're are defending it like you would defend your home against any intruder
What strikes me more is,in fact, the absense of curiosity from the tribe, to get to know about all the things and people they have seen come to their island from beyond the sea... wich doesn't mean, their wishes should be disrespected, quite the oposite since it seems they have been given also good reason to stay away from us... it just seems so unlikely that after all those thousands of years, curiosity hasn't won once over them.
Imagine if many aliens and planets are already in contact like the countries in the world and us humans are just kept in the dark like these people.

well, he was going there to forcibly spread a religion (christianity at that), so definitely not the smartest dude

He was just crazy
Yeah, exactly. The Spanish Conquistadors weren’t sick from diseases when they set foot in the new world. They were so immunised against diseases that the diseases existed within them without any symptoms. These germs then hopped on to the indigenous populations, wiping them out.
11 days is never enough. Some Germs live in the human body for life.

Super interesting video, nice work
Amazing to think they've been left alone. That's the best thing I've ever heard. I hope they stay that way
My question simply is how did this person think he would communicate with the tribe? Did he think language or gestures or drawings would get through to them? Just so many questions arise as to how he felt he could " spread the word".
Missionaries are usually taught how to record and learn a new language from scratch. Like Dan Everett did with the Pirahã people. There are standardized methods and procedures to do so.
@@mateozanone7216 - A woman _might_ have had a chance of at least being taken in and not murdered. But alien men are clearly seen as dangerous by the Sentinelese. The kid should have figured that out from research.
The only way to contact these people is, unfortunately, knock down several of them, to show some respect, then you will have the attention, but there is no reason to do that.
@@cacogenicist there have been countless aggressive tribes and indigenous people who have been reached by missionaries and successfully turn to cristianity, it just takes time to gain their trust. That being said, it was CLEARLY stupid to go to the sentinelese as unprepared as this guy was. I also do not like the work of missionaries and religious groups as a whole whatsoever
Stupidity.
Those people want to be left alone and India seems to respect that, and so should we. If they ever decide to contact us, I hope we have reached a level where we don't try to force our world on them. Until that happens, they seem to do just fine on their own.
If only the Western nations were shown that same respect and courtesy. They seem to maintain a racially intolerant ethnostate and the same people who shrug it off as "hate" for Western nations seem to tout the importance of being left alone from outsiders from them
My messed up imagination: NUCLEAR STRIKE
They have, and will never have a way to reach out to us. Unless we give them one.

Kudos to India for respecting and protecting this isolated and unique culture. I do not wish John Allen Chau any disrespect or ill will, but his actions were an embarrassment to himself and our society. May he RIP.
Even though Chau graduated Magna Cum Laud, he went full retard.
“No disrespect but he was an embarrassment” lmao
They killed people. They should not be protected. They should be arrested
Nothing embarrassing about his actions.
It's not like he wasn't aware that he might be killed.
He went there with full knowledge that he most likely would.
He was also warned to not go there.
Nothing embarrassing about his actions or even weirdly, to our society, whatever the heck you mean by that.
No one here, from the Sentinelese, John Chau, the Indian govt, the fisherman, society - literally nothing was embarrassing about anyone here

I like that quote. “We cannot be said to have done anything more than increase their general terror of, and hostility to, all comers.” Even if explorer’s intentions are good, disturbing the Sentinelese people does more harm than good. Let them live in peace.
And what net benefit is it to integrate them into our society? None. They want to be left alone and it's a small island. It's not like North Sentinel Island is some giant ass continent with some natural resources, ergo economic incentive. It's just a small island with a people who want to be left alone, so why not leave them alone?

I just looked on Google earth, and sure enough, found the shipwreck! How cool. I love that there are still some remote, ancient cultures that are largely untouched by modern technology! I am fascinated by the lifestyles of supposedly "primitive people", who have mastered survival in places that most of us would quickly perish! I hope that these people will continue to be protected from the outside world. Just knowing that they are there, and truly free, makes my heart glad!
They're basically prisoners on an island. They're only free in the sense they don't pay taxes, or are at risk of being sent to prison for non payment of rent. But I think being in modern society and being able to buy a steak when you feel like it is much better than being stuck naked on an island.
@@genericscout5408 That is the only life they have ever known, and they choose to preserve it. No racism, no street gangs, no drugs, no taxes, no getting stuck in traffic. In some way I envy their lifestyle.

I have been near to it! We were told to just observe and not make a single move. It was as bizzare as it sounds.
It will always baffle me how Chau thought he could convert the whole island when he didn't even know enough to say "There once was a man named Jesus" in Sentinelese.
Father was born and raised in the Andaman Islands. He often told me stories of the Sentinelize, and the Jarawa. Hope to visit the Islands one day, just not that one!

Great TH-cam channel... I actually have learned a lot from your videos, thanks!
I'm fascinated by their language, considering it's basically an alien language. Its last common ancestor with any other language is 10s of thousands of years ago, meaning that it's basically unintelligible to us. But I'm sure it'd be fascinating to study, if anyone could actually get that chance. The stories they could tell must be fascinating. Their folklore, religion, and beliefs about the outside world. And what they know or believe about their own history.
Not everyone has to have religious beliefs.
@@ThePrufessa I never said they did. You however seem completely offended by the suggestion that these people might have religious beliefs, in which case I invite you to fuck off. I can only assume you're one of those people who brags about being an atheist and think it makes you smarter than everyone else.
@@ThePrufessa You're right. But, probabilistically they have a religion. Most underdeveloped societies do or did. When you don't have an explanation backed by science you make it up. I won't say that ancient civilizations all had religions but we'd be hard pressed to find an example let alone 2.
@@ThePrufessa Everyone has to have beliefs
@@MuchWhittering first of all how does the comment I said make me "seem" offended by anything you have said? Perhaps you have a problem with your reading comprehension. You should work on that before engaging in dialogue in TH-cam comments.
Some people may be familiar with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes story “The Problem of 4”. The villain in the story was temporarily aided by an Andaman Islander.
Clearly they want to be left alone & I don't blame them. Just leave the people alone. Why is that so difficult to comprehend and RESPECT?
Dude was given multiple chances by the tribe to leave and not die but yet he chose to press on because he was so determined to attempt to show them Christianity. He deserves a Darwin Award.
That's why you should leave others alone with your religion.
Yeah lol
ironically, the way he believed it, his proselytizing got him to god faster hahaha.
I think it's worth noting that, "quarantine" or not, his behavior was genuinely dangerous to the people who killed him to protect themselves.
When tribes in voluntary isolation are forced into contact with the rest of the world, the result is devastation. Disease is an obvious factor, but exploitation may be more important. The Sentinelese would be ravaged by contact. Few, if any, would survive. Those who did would be forced into miserable poverty.
Uncontacted tribes may not know *exactly* what would happen if they opened up to the world, but their past experiences have given them a pretty good idea. This was a tragedy on many levels, but what they did wasn't "savage" or "territorial". It was what any reasonable person would do when faced with someone whose intentions they can't know, who's trying to force them into a situation that they understand is dangerous. They can't be blamed for doing what any of us would have done under the same terrible circumstances.
Christianity is the largest religion because of brave missionaries and martyrs like him.
as someone who basically majored in anthropology at community college, North Sentinel Island is one of the most fascinating places on Earth to me. if i ever really went into that field, i WOULD love to go there and study them, but i value my own life and those the Sentinelese more than i value what i could learn there :P hopefully we WILL be able to learn at least SOMETHING more about them in the future with everything ending well for everyone involved.

The Christmas Tsunami had a major effect on the island, raising large areas of surrounding reef above sea level, thus enlarging the island. Helicopter footage verified that the islanders as a whole survived the tsunami. No one knows what the islanders thought of the event, or how many were killed.
They simply they can protect themselves sometimes we must respect them and leave them alone
I’m not sure if it’s true, but supposedly the often used photo from above of the islander shooting into the air with a bow is from a helicopter survey shortly after the tsunami, to see if they had survived.
I can just imagine the crew’s perspective.

i just did the same. and although there are "photo spots", i am unable to access them.
It would be cool to fly over with thermal imaging so we could have a better idea of the population density

I’m glad these people are always unsuccessful in trying to destroy this tribe.
Best thing is you can insult them online and they'd have no clue of the concept of online slander.. or even the concept of online
Imagine a ship coming down to earth who are actually a bunch of friendly aliens trying to make contact with humans but we are terrified of them and start attacking. That's how it is from their POV! Live and let live!
I think thought that if that was to happen we wouldn’t fight straight away yes we’d be terrified but I’m sure the ppl doing it would wait about 6 seconds and if they are hostile then kill them but let’s be real who said aliens can die to bullets 😅
Unless they believe in a different sky friend then you then it's okay to torch their cities to the ground.

I’d love to know what their mythology has to say about past events, like the carrington event, or episodes where sound waves travels around the earth. Alternatively like I said elsewhere, what if star-link or the iss has shaped their culture after suddenly appearing in the night sky?
They would have noticed Starlink, but I doubt it's any stranger to them than the airplanes that go past regularly. Just another kind of whatever they think our flying stuff is.
The Carrington event wouldn't have affected them at all. It only affected electrical systems. They wouldn't have even noticed it. Indeed such things probably happen every few hundred years - that was just the first time anyone had enough technology to notice.
Its super messed up the first visitors just stole 4 children and 2 elderly adults, resulting in the death of the two elders and likely the deaths of many more Sentinelese through the spread of infectious diseases. :( Im a little glad the person who led that venture admitted to his blunder and acknowledged that all they did was increase their terror and hostility towards all outsiders and future visitors. I'm glad the Indian government is protecting their isolation and way of life, and have made it illegal for anyone to travel there. They deserve to live in peace.
Impossible to know if the "successful and friendly" contacts did not later have repercussions with the tribe regarding illness. Contagions present on the gifts even could cause a severe plague of illness for the tribe. So have a think about the association they might make from that.. ultimately the most likely outcome of contact is to be trusted even less
I think that’s why the government gave up and blocked the island out. Probably because experts might have sounded the alarm about this problem.
Most likely option would be that they might have gone through heavy sanitization before making the contact. This was a team of experienced professional anthropologists
@@keerthichandra376 professional anthropologists that had never had contact before with isolated human organisms on that level. You can't disinfect everything. People sweat, people breath, people urinate, and defecate. If you are immune to something you carry that is innocuous to yourself mere exposure of yourself to someone that isn't is potentially a case for transmission. They didn't go there in hazmat suits! The fact is they easily could have spread something totally harmless to them to the island inhabitants and as such would be seen as bringers of death in the eyes of the natives. professional or not it could have happened
They were quarantined for sure
