The Bo are believed to have lived on the islands for as long as 65,000 years, making them one of the oldest surviving human cultures.
The king of the Bo tribe died in 2005, leaving only a handful of elderly members who also died over the next five years.
The Great Andamanese once numbered more than 5,000 and were made up of 10 distinct groups each with their own language.
But today, after more than 150 years of contact with colonisers and the diseases they brought with them, the Great Andamanese number just 52.
WOW

Funny and scary at the same time...
65,000 years? Wow, that means God created these people about 59,000 years before Adam & Eve. Hmmm. Well, I'm just going to have to toss out my bible because obviously these scientists are much smarter than THE GOD WHO CREATED THE UNIVERSE!!! Please

2 Peter 3:8
But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The bible doesnt say shyt about what year the Earth was created in
well its implied somewhere, because lets not act like these god fearing clowns pulled that figure outa thin air.
lets admit that the bible does NOT allow for the scientific timelines that we have evidence for
Believed and actual fact are two different things. Too bad they didn't record history, lazy-azz biotches.
Since there are no pyramids like the Egyptians and Mayans built, they probably aren't worth talking about. :cpr:
Questions? Like should I get the medium fries or onion rings with my number six combo at Burger King? Or how do I fix Windows 7 after a malware attack.
Yeah... the Sentinelese Islanders don't have any answers to questions that are important.

You don't think it would be interesting to learn about a culture that has been mostly uninfluenced since they left Africa 65,000 years ago.
I was just kidding around.
