Secrets of the Sentinels...Humans that the outside world can't touch.

Secrets of the Sentinels...Humans that the outside world can't touch.

1. Tribes that "stopped time" at the Stone Age:

Anthropologists believe that the Sentinels have lived on the island for more than 60,000 years. They are the direct offspring of the first humans to emigrate from Africa, and almost no new technologies have been developed. They still use bows and harpoons to find fish and live a real "No WiFi, No Electricity."

2.The "coconut" incident bridged the relationship (1991):

This is the only time in history that modern humans can "touch" the tribe peacefully! Madhumala Chattopadhyay, an Indian female anthropologist, took a coconut to float for the tribe instead of attacking. As a result, the tribe walked down to get the coconut from her hand without firing an arrow at it, but that was only a short time before they went back to block themselves again.

3. Survivors of the 2004 tsunami (without relying on radar):

When the tsunami hit the Indian Ocean in 2004, many thought that the Sentinels were extinct, but when the helicopter was sent to explore, a tribesman ran out to the beach and "shot an arrow at the helicopter" to chase the guests! They knew the natural alarm and fled high before the waves came.

4. Biological Danger:

The reason why the Indian government banned anyone from approaching is not just because the tribe is fierce, but because "our good intentions may kill them." Because they have been isolated for so long, the body is not immune to basic diseases such as the flu or measles. Just sneezing at them once can kill the whole tribe.

5. Untranslated language and secrets:

Even the neighboring tribes like the "Jarva" in the same archipelago can't hear the language of the Sentinels! We don't know what they call themselves, don't know how many people (50-200 people), and don't know if they can make their own fire. The only information we have is "they want to be alone."
