Wild

There is a quote I like to use by a Professor of Anthropology, I forget which one, that we are only as civilized as the last time something like this happens.

I find it amazing that no one has made better efforts to contact these people. Not to "save" them or to modernise them but rather as a way of understanding ourselves. There is the opportunity here of a virtual time machine, to look back 100,000years in time and discover how we were and who we are.

Then again, maybe not. I think the most depressing thing that we would learn from these living fossils is despite all our technology, how little we have changed from these warring tribes.
