Located far into the Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean, North Sentinel Island is one of the most isolated places on earth. Approximately the size of Manhattan, this remote island is home to the Sentinelese tribe, the most dangerous tribe in the world.
The North Sentinel island made headlines in 2006 after the tribe murdered two fishermen who had illegally approached the island. After the incident, a 3-mile zone has been imposed around the island, and the Sentinelese have since kept a low profile.
The Indian government, who previously tried to establish a relationship with the tribe, have since stopped all attempts to make contact. To this day, very little is known about the Islanders. An estimate suggests around 300 members remain on the island, however, the mystery remains as to what really exists deep inside the lush island.

In Sherlock Holmes’ story “The Sign Of Four”, Tonga an Andaman Islander is portrayed as a vicious little bastard who tries to kill Holmes with a blow pipe.

After all of these years I would imagine they are inbreed.
Despite its isolation, in 2016, North Sentinel island produced 10,000 votes for Hillary Clinton.
Probably a major base for the aliens there.
Leave them be.

If this bunch is so isolated, where did they get the gun and ammo ? How did they figure out what the big metal stick did ?
You wonder how long it will take genetic mutation and inbreeding to render the tribe with less and less survivors. I say...leave them alone...and if signs show painful mutation related death and severe birth defects...maybe some contact and outbreeding may help. Otherwise leave em alone.
It wasn't a gun, it was via bow and arrow..........
