Uncontacted tribes may not necessarily be opposed to contact but may fear negative outcomes like kidnapping or disease transmission. Initiating contact with cultural translators and long-term healthcare providers has been suggested as a smart approach. Past incidents with missionaries highlight the importance of sustained care to prevent negative consequences. The debate on contacting uncontacted tribes is ongoing, with varying perspectives on respecting their autonomy versus providing beneficial assistance with proper procedures and sustainability.
In 2018, there's a man from a lost tribe still living deep in the jungles of Brazil who has been all alone since the mid 1990s. He's referred to as the Man of the Hole, and has had no face-to-face with modern humans. Who is he? We'll answer that question as best we can in this classic episode.
