I think it’s fascinating that there are still human beings who live like this. Do they even know there is technologically advanced world out there?

My guess is that no, they don't know. I live in Papua, Indonesia and my impression is that when a group here finds out that technology and medicine has been withheld from them, the anger is long lasting and very, very strong.

I was fascinated too. It’s hard to fathom that in our technologically advanced world there are people who have no knowledge of the world around them. The industrial revolution passed them by! That’s unbelievable. The original article said the Peruvian group are one of many in the world — I’d love to learn more about all of them.

No doubt, or their grandparents did.

When we attacked the Taliban and the locals met our soldiers they asked why we were there and where we were from. Many had never even heard of the United States.
