Located far into the Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean, North Sentinel Island is one of the most isolated places on earth. Approximately the size of Manhattan, this remote island is home to the Sentinelese tribe, the most dangerous tribe in the world.
The North Sentinel island made headlines in 2006 after the tribe murdered two fishermen who had illegally approached the island. After the incident, a 3-mile zone has been imposed around the island, and the Sentinelese have since kept a low profile.
The Indian government, who previously tried to establish a relationship with the tribe, have since stopped all attempts to make contact. To this day, very little is known about the Islanders. An estimate suggests around 300 members remain on the island, however, the mystery remains as to what really exists deep inside the lush island.

Lots of information on the net - I had never heard of this isolated tribe. Very interesting that modern civilization has not been able to influence (or destroy) this tribe.

The only reason that this tribe still exists is the general decent nature of the rest of the world - and their great luck to not be in anyone’s way.

The pop-up ads won’t allow me to read the article, even with
Ad Blkrs. I’ll read it later elsewhere.
I thought about that movie “The Island of Dr. Moreau” with half-human beasts. I don’t think that’s what this article is directly about, though.

Dangerous? They killed two sleeping fishermen when their anchor failed and shot a National Geographic rep in the thigh. Downtown Chicago is WAY more dangerous.

Could serve as a nice little scientific preserve to study long term effects of inbreeding.

"The North Sentinel island made headlines in 2006 after the tribe murdered two fishermen who had illegally approached the island. After the incident, a 3-mile zone has been imposed around the island.." They have a right to stop encroachment/immigration/invasion and their cultural and probable physical annihilation. People need to keep the h-- away.
