Have you heard of the Sentinelese tribe, bro? No, of course you haven’t. That’s because they may very well be the last humans left on the planet who remain totally isolated from modern civilization.
The Sentinelese, who are thought to be direct descendants from the first humans who emerged from Africa, are located on North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean have inhabited a land mass the size of Manhattan for 60,000 years.
Although it’s nearly impossible to guess how many humans live on it, experts guess somewhere between 40 and 500, according to Daily Mail.Rare footage has been compiled of the few times outsiders have tried to contact them since the 1960s. They have historically been so hostile toward outsiders that Indian authorities have made it a crime to try to make contact with the Sentinelese. It is illegal to go within three miles of the island.
According to Daily Mail,
Two fisherman were slaughtered by the Sentinelese in 2006 for drawing too close, and tribesman have been known to fire arrows and fling rocks at low-flying planes or helicopters on reconnaissance missions.
