Previously, unknown and uncontacted Brazilian tribe found............ more out there

there are 113 uncontacted tribes living in the Brazilian Amazon, only 27 of which have been sighted, which could number up to 3000 people.
There are also said to be 15 uncontacted tribes in neighbouring Peru and others deep in the forests of Bolivia, Colombia and Ecuador.

Always fascinating stuff.

Our grandkids will be running these same stories. About Los Angeles County.

I hope we can continue to leave them the fuck alone for as long as possible.

They’re probably the most content human beings on the planet right now.

Content

[SuburbanFarmer]

Nasty, brutish, and short, yes. But if you didn't know anything else? You're probably much more content as a human.

[Hastur]

Ignorance is bliss, eh? SubhumanFarmer Pines for even less knowledge. Not surprising.

He might be interested in the violent death rate amongst hunter-gatherers.

The comforts of civilization are absolutely fantastic. My standard is that if you have a floor under your feet to sweep and a roof, your good to go.

I've spent 4 continuous months living in the field. No communication with the outside world other than by word of mouth and perhaps a letter. Field hygene, not much for good meals, dirty all the time.
Now that historically is not much. But there's not a lot of 1st World Humans that have done it. It kind of sucks................ BUT. You do get to know your small community in a way that you don't know other people. It was a great experience. I'm glad I did it.

I would probably do it again, but not readily.

Years and decades would be a very different thing. If you didn't know what was out there in the rest of the world, it probably wouldn't bother you. But if you were ripped from our cushy 21st Century lives a lot of people would just break. We had one guy out of 28 break bad in just that time, another semi break.

My parents love to travel, so every year growing up we travelled to different countries. My earliest trip memory (don't really remember Italy at age 4) was Spain when I was 6y/o, we stayed two weeks in a run down farmhouse on this flat mesa about 1/2mile uphill from a small town. I got to ride the donkey up the hill with our luggage. Two bedrooms for the 5 of us (one for us 3 kids), outhouse outside, "running water" was a freshwater spring 1/4mile away. My sister woke up the first night with a rat on her bed (more like cots) before my dad hammered a board over the hole in the door. Had to hang the food from the rafters or the rats got it (also discovered that first night).

Hated it as a 6y/o, the closest "neighbors" was another couple renting a similar farmhouse a mile away. Did a lot of walking on my little legs. Looking back now though it was a great experience.

Spain, Portugal, Morroco, France, Belgium, Mexico a couple times... I'm sure we never saw the inside of a 5-star hotel (3-star at best). The cockroaches in Morocco were huge. The 1" mattresses at the one-road seaside "resort" town in Mexico left me with a ton of bedbug bites. Getting powered across a river by three canoes lashed together with boards and an outboard motor with our VWBug on top because the bridge the map said was there was just some concrete pylons in the river (guess the mapmakers were ahead of the construction by probably a year), getting stuck (in that VW) in mud almost to the axle on a "class 2 'improved' road" (rained out, a lot of pushing to get free)...

...but looking back on it, it gave me good knowledge of just how good we have it here, and how a lot of other places live. And to be quite honest I know I could adapt to far less if I needed to. I'm thankful for the experience.

(Parents still love to travel. They did a month in Peru in '99, Dad loves the ancient ruins/historical sites, by bus, horseback, donkey, on the cheap - $1800 for the month for the two of them. Syria, Lebanon, and Turkey in 2005 was the scariest - bomb went off in Lebanon a week after they left (they were in Syria thankfully - they saw Palmyra long before ISIS destroyed it)... thankfully they've given up on ME travel since)
