When I read about them long time ago, they reminded me of those tribes in the movies "The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" and "The Gods must be crazy."
Those tribes always consider outsiders to be a threat.
I wonder what theories might Sentinelese have formulated about the world. When they see and hear loud voices of planes. Or distant light on the night sea. What do they conclude?

- machbio 10y agoreading this incidence of contact by British (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinelese#Incidents_of_contact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinelese#Incidents_of_conta...) - might have had a very bad perception of modern humans - they kidnapped an elderly couple and four children, the elderly couple died and those four children might have gone through some horrors that might have influenced them to be aggressive towards the modern humans
- saalweachter 10y agoMinor nit: you have to be careful with the term "modern humans"; the islanders in question are also modern humans.
