Located in the Indian Ocean's Bay of Bengal, North Sentinel Island is a secluded island of approximately 28 square miles (72.5 sq km). It is home to the Sentinelese, a small group of indigenous people. There are estimated to be from 40 to 250 Sentinelese, but because the tribe has a history of voluntary isolation and has been hostile and violent to outsiders who have attempted to visit, little is known about them. It is widely believed that the Sentinelese islanders have remained largely isolated from the outside world for about 60,000 years and are direct descendants of the first humans who left Africa.

Let them live their lives as they choose. To read about them is interesting. How "human" the mind can be. Wow! |
