quote:

The Travels of Marco Polo/Book 3/Chapter 13: (1269)

Concerning the Island of Angamanain:
Angamanain is a very large Island. The people are without a king and are Idolaters, and no better than wild beasts. And I assure you all the men of this Island of Angamanain have heads like dogs, and teeth and eyes likewise; in fact, in the face they are all just like big mastiff dogs! They have a quantity of spices; but they are a most cruel generation, and eat everybody that they can catch, if not of their own race. They live on flesh and rice and milk, and have fruits different from any of ours.

quote:

One night in 1771, an East India Company hydrographic survey vessel, the Diligent, passed by North Sentinel and sighted “a multitude of lights . . . upon the shore.” This is the first recorded mention of the island. The surveying party did not stop to investigate, however. In those days, bonfires still beckoned from hundreds of coasts, all over the world. The ship sailed on.

quote:

An expedition led by Maurice Vidal Portman, a government administrator who hoped to research the natives and their customs, accomplished a successful landing on North Sentinel Island in January 1880. The group found a network of pathways and several small, abandoned villages. After several days, six Sentinelese, an elderly couple and four children, were captured and taken to Port Blair. The colonial officer in charge of the operation wrote that the entire group, "sickened rapidly, and the old man and his wife died, so the four children were sent back to their home with quantities of presents". A second landing was made by Portman on 27 August 1883 after the eruption of Krakatoa was mistaken for gunfire and interpreted as the distress signal of a ship. A search party landed on the island and left gifts before returning to Port Blair. Portman visited the island several more times between January 1885 and January 1887.

quote:

(2018)
Here's what we know:
There are between 50 and 200 of them.
They don't have writing.
They don't know how to make fire; observations made by landing parties in deserted villages have concluded that the Sentinelese wait for lightning strikes, then keep the resulting embers burning as long as they can.

Well, what I’m getting out of the sequence I put in bold is that when the English made contact with them it killed everyone who knew how to make fire

But I suppose they could have lost it earlier, and that ship that saw them with all the lights could have been passing after a lightning strike

In either case they seem to be the only group on the planet that doesn’t have that ability so it seems like they had it once and lost it

you can keep a fire going indefinitely if you know what you're doing. you can put a burning ember in a pot full of dirt to starve it off oxygen and it'll last long enough to transport it somewhere else.

this is probably how humanity learned to first make charcoal, by covering a bunch of burning wood up and coming back to it hours later.

the most completely bullshit tinfoil hat belief that i kinda unironically could get into is probably something like recalls like this being a psyop to condition people to distrust foods that don't come in a processed shelf stabilized branded form, both to produce low-grade malnutrition so nobody gets any bright ideas with their functioning and healthy brain, and to increase pop-tart profits in the long term lmao
There are no regulations for testing irrigation water for pathogens and what the Obama administration approved has been postponed by Trump admin until 2022, with a two year grace period for large farms and four for small farms. Don't forget that Trump's campaign issues contained, at one point, easing or eliminating refrigeration requirements for food production, transport, and storage.

kind of agree but it really depends on the content/structure of the narrative

in that case i think it's just laziness disguised as quirkiness (i looked at it for 15 seconds, i didnt read it)
