Why not just give them the accelerated introductory course into civilization?
Just airdrop a few hundred i-phones and a few thousand rocks of crack.

I propose we round up all the different uncontacted tribes and pit them against each other in death matches in large arenas. Every once in a while, substitute some exotic animals for one of the tribes.
Or more humanely, we could take the “Truman Show” angle and keep them well insulated from the outside world, stealthily hook up several hidden cameras and introduce (via airdrop) a different gadget, household item, porno mag, etc each week and observe their reactions in a one-hour program. That would be good tv.
But seriously, who here is truly able to say they are enjoying life as they are in the absence of all of the medical, technological and scientific advances humans have made? They are probably living in absolute fear of the apocalypse right now having been circled by the “mechanical bird”. There are no easy answers, but we do know that humans have always looked for ways to make life easier and more enjoyable. Maybe these folks want to be left alone, maybe they don’t. Maybe they’re just a society of mental midgets who were never able to come up with their own advances.
Then again, maybe they’re sitting on top of a LOT of crude oil deposits…

Where in the Amazon are these guys?
They will all eventually die. It will happen. Pretty soon there will not be uncontacted tribes. Lets just hope like someone else said they dont have some immunity to some superdisease and it wipes us out!

Holy shit, that WOULD be awesome TV.
Watching a tribe that has survived in harmony for a thousand years self-destruct over the possession of a porno mag would be classic.

Hence my advice to get the preemptive strikes planned. Shit I’m paying close to $4 bucks a gallon there’s no time to waste.

Wouldn’t it though? As I was writing it, I was thinking about what would really throw someone for a loop if they’d never seen it before and BAM! a Hustler came to mind. That and either a SkyMall or Sharper Image catalog.

Uhm you, guys. Dominant and recesive traits. Seriously. There are two people in that photo that look like typical natives, and one person who looks like they are of african descent. Or am I seeing things? What I’m saying is unless they were a large tribe (unlikely since they were unnoticed). That the recesive trait would have been weened out.[/quote]
Of course they’ve been lurking, idiot.
