It is actually recent. The photo i used is an old photo, but if you go to the BBC news site i linked, it is the first film of them.
I think is is incredibly condescending to say they are happy as they are. Would you say that to a m other who lost her child in that tribe? If you could save their children's lives, i think they would want us to help them.
Why does contacting them, and giving them our knowledge and techology mean destroying their "way of life"? it doesn't.
They can still have their culture, but we can help them cure diseases.
By your logic, no countries should share their information with each other because it would "destroy their culture".
So why do American scientists share their knowledge with British scientists? Is it destroying British culture?
We're talking about saving lives, not setting up a shopping mall.
