"Uncontacted Amazon tribe photographed in unusual sighting near logging area"
:catthinking:
"Uncontacted" you say?
I don't talk often about this, but on my path from my bachelor's degree in computer engineering to my master's in South Asia studies, I did a detour through art, and anthropology.
I remember how my anthropology teacher talked about supposedly "uncontacted" tribes of the Amazon that so-and-so had "found."
The "uncontacted" bit turned out to be hogwash. They were uncontacted only if you ignored all the other folks with whom they had regular contact.
:holdthepain:
I put this into the same category as Columbus "discovering" America.
Journalists... so gullible...
