smart enough? you mean benevolent and generous enough. imagine if we, the modern world, acted as primal in reaction to the death of visitors trying to make contact.they'd be wiped in an hour. they literally live under the mercy of the modern worlds violence, just straight luck no one has decided to turn their island into a vacation resort. as violent as we are with each other, we leave them alone, as if they are some peon below our might. i mean, we tried to study them as if they're a foreign species until it was decided they weren't worth the trouble, just some pest; nothing more than a hornets nest. they sting, but we can do so much more.

I believe the aggression towards outsiders might be driven by the fear of competition for limited food on their island. Their population size is likely limited by the available food resources, resulting in a delicate balance between population and sustenance. This interplay between population and food availability could further contribute to their defensive behavior towards potential competitors.

They did it to protect themselves from the diseases we carry! I just wish we could establish a lasting communication with them some day. Maybe in a Master Chief suit or something. Hermetically sealed, but protected. Dang. Just fascinating. I understand their story, and anything that comes to the island is a foreign invader and must be killed. Including our gifts. And anyone that leaves is tainted and would destroy the sanctity of the island's society and would probably be killed, too, if they ever came back. I would love to glimpse their funerary rituals. Just a shame we can't co-exist in some way. In some ways, though, I envy them. I definitely admire them. In some ways, they were the smart ones. They have a treasure of secret history and stories that are only for them, and they guard them with their lives. Because otherwise, they wouldn't be unique.

What's weird is that if they were shown for example a picture drawing of a village from like the 14th century, they would likely still be confused and surprised and might perceive even that as a "modern world", so imagine if we actually did bring the tribe over to lets say, New York or London or Madrid imagine their reactions. In my opinion if we want to maintain this tribe we should just leave them alone, cause like you said bringing that elderly Sentinelese couple over to Port Blair and them getting sick and dying is just proof that this tribe should be left alone, so when the tribe attacks us for going there, we shouldn't be surprised at all.

I think it's worth noting that, "quarantine" or not, his behavior was genuinely dangerous to the people who killed him to protect themselves. When tribes in voluntary isolation are forced into contact with the rest of the world, the result is devastation. Disease is an obvious factor, but exploitation may be more important. The Sentinelese would be ravaged by contact. Few, if any, would survive. Those who did would be forced into miserable poverty. Uncontacted tribes may not know *exactly* what would happen if they opened up to the world, but their past experiences have given them a pretty good idea. This was a tragedy on many levels, but what they did wasn't "savage" or "territorial". It was what any reasonable person would do when faced with someone whose intentions they can't know, who's trying to force them into a situation that they understand is dangerous. They can't be blamed for doing what any of us would have done under the same terrible circumstances.

The one good thing I'll say about John Chau's attempt to visit was that he was aware that he could be killed and that if it did happen he neither blamed them nor wanted anyone to try to recover his body.
as someone who basically majored in anthropology at community college, North Sentinel Island is one of the most fascinating places on Earth to me. if i ever really went into that field, i WOULD love to go there and study them, but i value my own life and those the Sentinelese more than i value what i could learn there :P hopefully we WILL be able to learn at least SOMETHING more about them in the future with everything ending well for everyone involved.

we all know that nothing good when outsiders come in. That island would probably be converted into a beach resort if we ever let the rest of the world step in. the only way we'll ever get on this island is if they ever go fully extinct

Hey Christians here's you a whole island of people to convert. I heard they're very welcoming people. Y'all should go visit :)
Its super messed up the first visitors just stole 4 children and 2 elderly adults, resulting in the death of the two elders and likely the deaths of many more Sentinelese through the spread of infectious diseases. :( Im a little glad the person who led that venture admitted to his blunder and acknowledged that all they did was increase their terror and hostility towards all outsiders and future visitors. I'm glad the Indian government is protecting their isolation and way of life, and have made it illegal for anyone to travel there. They deserve to live in peace.
it's fascinating how these people survived and thrived over such a long time while having a very limited gene pool.

Interesting - had no idea about this place. One picky point - just because they are using some iron/metal stuff left behind doesn't mean they have been "catapulted into the Iron Age". The Iron Age involved humans noticing iron ore in the ground, digging it out and developing techniques for smelting and shaping it.

I've heard that on all contacts after that they were observed to be using iron tipped arrows and spears, so they seem to have figured out the usefulness and made the transition pretty quickly. Impressive

I was curious why they even used bows at all & maintained the tradition of using them. Apparently theres wild pigs/boar on the island (according to wikipedia)
I guess the only relatively effective way to study their tribe without loss of human life is to deploy a spider drone that can blend itself into the environment that can record & send footage of how the sentinels behave, communicate etc. Right in the heart of the island

Impossible to know if the "successful and friendly" contacts did not later have repercussions with the tribe regarding illness. Contagions present on the gifts even could cause a severe plague of illness for the tribe. So have a think about the association they might make from that.. ultimately the most likely outcome of contact is to be trusted even less

I think that’s why the government gave up and blocked the island out. Probably because experts might have sounded the alarm about this problem.
