The world is a mysterious place with so many vibrantand varying cultures.

However, in this day and age, when everything is controlled by technology, it is easy to contact anyone from anywhere in the world.

With over 7 billion people on this earth, there are still some tribes that do not support nor understand our modern living ways, and their secluded lives remain untouched.

Despite all of this, one human trait remains the same, and it is the need to explore and unravel the unknown.

So it only makes sense that humans sometimes do all they can to contact the most isolated tribes in the world, just to see how different they are from us.

Following keenly

In 1991 one woman did the impossible by contacting the most isolated tribe in the world, the Sentinelese.

The tribe is located on the Andaman Islands,in the Indian Ocean.

Visiting the Sentinelese island is not only considered dangerous but it is also illegal.



Madhumala Chattopadhyay led an extraordinary expedition with one goal to contact the tribe and reveal what life is like for these most secluded people, who are known to be dangerous and aggressive.

In one interview Madhumala laterexplained “Never ever in my six years of doing research along with the tribes of Andamans did any man ever misbehave with me.


The tribes might be primitive in their technological achievements, but socially they are far ahead of us.”

So it only makes sense that humans sometimes do all they can to contact the most isolated tribes in the world, just to see how different they are from us.

Even after everybody knows that contacting that tribe will lead to their extinction due to diseases they are not immune to.

So what happened?

Madhumala is one of a few people who managed to have friendly contact with the Sentinelese.


Recently, the media widely reported the death of a young Christian missionary named John Chau, who tried to enter the premises of the Sentinelese tribe resulting in his tragic death.

This horrible event proved once again that the Sentinelese are not here to make friends.

And even though one successful expedition led by Mr. Pandit was already covered by the media, only a few know the incredible achievements of Madhumala Chattopadhyay.


Since she was 12-year-old, Madhumala was determined to meet these indigenous people.

After she finished school at the top of her class, she started studying anthropology at the University of Calcutta.

She later explained to her parents that studying anthropology was her ‘passport to the Ongers’, which is one of the Andamanese tribes.

Her secret? Coconuts.

The moment her boat reached the territory of the Sentinelese people, every person on her team started throwing coconuts,to show that they come in peace.

It didn’t take long for the tribe to come closer, and even start picking coconuts out of the water.

Soon after, Madhumala threw even more coconuts and she was quickly able to get into the water with the tribe.

To this day it is considered to be one of a few successful contacts with the tribe.

It is believed that the presence of a woman was the key to a successful contact.

Madhumala has since visited the tribe again and this time they were even more enthusiastic, they even climbed into the boatto pick the coconuts themselves.

In 1991 she went with another expedition.

No pictures baba? You know your thread is never complete without pictures..

I wonder how those guys get the raw materials for their metal works.

Funny enough they are not negroes.they are more genitically closer to even Europeans than to Africans.

They just appear black as a result of coincidence

Europeans seriously? With all that melanin?

EricBloodAxe:


Europeans seriously? With all that melanin?

That's why classifying people by the color of their skin doesn't make sense. Race is largely a social construct .

The picture below is how Europeans looked 8000 years ago

In summary , very hot sun leads to black skin

Explorer is here again...*grabs a sit*

Dude stop confusing urslf. The arabs in the middle east suffer hot temperatures and harsher climate yet their skin melanin never got darker. This island tribe are negroes just like the negroes located at the Caribbean islands.

I've watched this on YouTube... Very interesting, never knew that such still exist. They were counted to be about 15 in numbers. They were also declared safe even after millions died in the earthquake that happened in the ocean few years ago. You have to watch to understand more about the tribe.

These people left Africa around 60000 years ago, they are not negroes
