The reaction to these remote tribes is "we must study them from afar.."
Sorry but I find it unethical to do so, the fact these people struggle to even live, let alone exist means they would benefit from careful and staggered contact from the outside world.
Its the opposite of what most people feel, but we have a ethical duty to help and improve the situation of these people, not watch them from afar like some caged monkeys for our amusement.  |
Altering their way of life could have long term consequences. You bring in the outside world and expose them to a new way of life and you may as well haul them out of the jungle and place them in modern day society. One group goes into help and it creates a slippery slope where others want to help. Not long after that the way they'ved lived their life is forever changed. Leave them be and let them live the life they've always known.
