Summary

Even with the globalized world we live in, there are an estimated over 100 uncontacted tribes of people, living with minimal interruption from the outside world. Some, with histories going back as far as the Stone Age. Today, on The What If? Podcast, we explore two of the most famously isolated groups of people in the world, and discuss how the came to both be - and how they attempt to stay - in isolation.

This week, we'll explore North Sentinel Island and the Sentinelese, along with the Jarawa tribes of the Andaman Islands, an Indian territory in the center of the Indian Ocean. We'll learn about what we know about their customs, their hostility towards others, the threats they face, and a whole lot more.
