Researchers have produced aerial photos of jungle dwellers who they say are among the few remaining peoples on Earth who have had no contact with the outside world.

Someone needs to get down there and introduce them to all the new diseases that they have never been inoculated against. Should take no more than 48 hours to wipe them off the map.

that would most likely have them all ready to kill each other from the drama they will start.. "Hey, you didn't post anything about my picture!! I'll never talk to you again and get your own damn water!"

Fixed for additional truth.

The web-cams (14 of them) are up and running. Here is a shot from camera 3. It would appear that some of the natives are wrestling for pleasure... or pain.

Probably the only contact they need with modern civilization, is with someone with enough authority to set aside a few 1000 acres (or however much land they need) to make sure they can maintain life as they have been for many of generations now.
"These pictures are further evidence that uncontacted tribes really do exist," Cory said in a statement. "The world needs to wake up to this, and ensure that their territory is protected in accordance with international law. Otherwise, they will soon be made extinct."

Taken from the article.
The National Indian Foundation, a government agency in Brazil, published the photos Thursday on its Web site. It tracks "uncontacted tribes" -- indigenous groups that are thought to have had no contact with outsiders -- and seeks to protect them from encroachment.
It really is pretty amazing just to imagine what it's like from their perspective. It's probably the equivalent of some super-advanced super-intelligent alien race showing up and introducing concepts that none of us have ever even conceived... Unbelievable.
As for "protecting" them... I don't know how I feel about it, on one hand it almost feels like making them an "endangered species" that are not to be bothered, but on the other who says that they wouldn't want contact with outsiders (if they have such a concept) and is it our place to make that decision? I don't know that there is any clear answer to that one...

it's really too bad that they were discovered at all IMO,for their sake.
