The Sentinelese must always be wary of religious extremists illegally entering their territory. The zealots are trying to contaminate Traditional Sentineli Values with their barbaric, radical views and disgusting foreign practices. Let's build them a wall of random segments of haphazardly set up concertina wire and vigorously excoriate the Missionary Menace in our press releases! MAIGA! Make the Andaman Islands Great Again!

Also they probably have no immunities to most modern world-spanning diseases and wiping the remaining few hundred(?) of them out by accident is pretty possible. Please send no more Jesusmen over, Mr. Jesus.

If there are only like 200 of them left and they are completely isolated from everyone else, they'll die out in several generations due to inbreeding. RIP.

They used to have contact with other islands and people


But their first interaction with the English saw an entire family of theirs kidnapped, dead from disease, and the sole survivor of that returning to warn them of this kind of thing.

Theyve been fully isolated and actively hostile since.

Nah that's almost certainly not true because it's not like a single being or a group just became different and human overnight. Wherever you draw the arbitrary line or date, it's more likely it was like thousands or tens of thousands of

Yes yes yes that's obviously correct, but also way less stupid than what I was saying so there!

If Jesus himself had come to him and told him to 'gently caress off already', he'd try to bribe the Lord just like he bribed the local fishermen.

During Marine Isotope Stage 6, about 150,000 years ago, the total number of humans was estimated to be down to just a few hundred.

The Toba super-eruption blew apart Sumatra, but it's heavily disputed that it nearly wiped out humanity.

I thought the lowest they had verified was only about 3000 humans?

The population before the period was still only in the tens of thousands but all I can find suggests it dropped very low.

I suppose it depends on how alarmist your sources are.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Haven't read past this but the legends/cautionary tales of this are probably loving amazing
