I see that the Russians were able to harness the sun through candle technology. How remote are these tribes when a camera man is there to photograph them? I’m really not trying to give you the business about these tribes but these pictures remind me of photos of mountain climbers reaching the summit of some mountain. I always thought to myself, “Well, it looks like the photographer got there before the explorer did.” Anyway, these are fascinating pictures of people who most likely just want to be left alone. I hope the world will let them be.

Many of those tribes have long since “Passed away” meaning they’ve moved into the modern world.

A watched a show a while back about these “primitives” like the Mongolian nomads. Many are still nomadic but far from backwards. They carry satellite phones, keep in contact by way of the internet etc. A lot of African tribes make a pretty good living by playing the role of their ancestors. They live in modern homes with many of the same conveniences we have but keep a traditional village where they punch a time clock and show tourists how they lived a generation or two back.

Progress is good.

Some of these folks need to learn that *fur* is frowned upon in the 21st century.

PETA memberships all around.
