We "civilized" folk sure do like to ruin things for everyone else, don't we? It is estimated that there are some 100, as yet, undiscovered tribes worldwide. Of course, when one is discovered, we sure gotta get all up in their faces about it. This just happened in Brazil. An undiscovered tribe was just minding it's own business and, CLICK, we had to photograph it, scare the bejezus out of them, then post it all over the internet.
Yes, I am guilty, I am posting it also. I, however, am doing so in order to scream ... "Just leave well enough alone!" Seems to me that the world would be a better place if we had all just decided to stay in little villages and not dominate the planet. I mean, sure there would be murder and destruction on a small scale, but the planet over all would be better off. Disease wouldn't be running rampant all over the place if we were in isolated groups. Some would die off ... a "thinning of the herd", if you will ... but that's the natural order of things. Nature's own population control.
So, when we (the "civilized") run into those still living primally, we adulterate it. Here's the link to the article about the discovered tribe. Yes, the article promotes the protection of this and other tribes, but a picture is worth a thousand words, and what this photo tells me is that we are some scary muthas!!
