Eight members of a remote Indian tribe have died after drinking a chemical they mistook for alcohol.

The dead men from the tiny Onge tribe swigged the brown liquid which washed ashore in a bottle.

There are fewer than 100 members of the Onge left. They are the last remaining hunter-gatherers and live on the Andaman and Nicobar islands.

The said tribals form India's, and Asia's, only native negrito population demographic.

Nobody knows how they ended up all the way from Africa to those tiny islands in the middle of the ocean.

"Protecting" the Stone Age existence,EXCEPT these people are actually being air-dropped food ?

There is no charity in supporting savagery.

Not to be insensitive, but do The Darwin Awards have a “group” category?

There are fewer than 100 92 members of the Onge left.

Western New Guinea also has ‘negroes’.

This is an example of strong selective pressure against alcohol drinkers.

I didn't think you could die from drinking out of a college kid's spittoon.

Designated driver was drunk?

Stone age tribesmen want technology and modernization. Liberal Western value system says that what the tribesmen want is irrelevant because they must remain noble savages...

[ZULU]

These are very primitive isolated people with little or no knowledge of the modern world.
