First Contact (BBC4 Anthropology Season) - Part 4 of 6

[LackadaisicalE]

lol that fat cow being interviewed, she spews out so much crap Im speechless..well obviously not entirely speechless.

[MrAndrejPopov]

laxgoalieguy is completely right.

[MacktheFilet]

@MrAndrejPopov I'm not so sure. Anthropologists usually say that we should learn what we can from these people while they are still around. We shouldn't consider this a successful society in comparison with ours. The fact is that these tribes are probably going very soon. If we can't save them then we can at least learn from them while they are here.

[SalsaTiger83]

Probably these groups are even lowering the tribes' risk of disease by introducing their immune system to low doses of "civilized bugs". Eventually loggers or miners will come and infect them anyway.

[dannyjam]

In the middle of a tropical jungle with weird ass fish and bugs and they go for a swim in that shit? No way.

[justinmathew111]

You know?

[kropotkinbeard1]

The detractors here sound like freshman anthropology students who have read their first book on anthropology and have never been outside their own city. Kelly need no go home at all. If the tribes don't want to meet him then he'll go away. If they do, then he won't. It's actually condescending and insulting to the tribal people themselves to assign to them the notion that they're too ignorant to know what is or isn't good for them. Anthropology is as much an art than science. Grow up!

[LackadaisicalE]

@kropotkinbeard1 its not a science at all, its just art (bullshit made up on the fly by well-meaning idiots)

[MacktheFilet]

@LackadaisicalE Anthropology is a science. Ignorance is a waste.

[kropotkinbeard1]

I've known Kelly since high school, and there is NOTHING further from the truth than the notion that he has set up anything. It's utter nonsense. He does take tours to several places over and over, but he does not claim that these are first contact tours. At other times, he DOES explore into areas where there is little or no data on the area. In THESE areas it's possible that that there are folks around who have never met a pale face. The anthropologists have read too much and done too little.

[LikeTotallyRich]

This is a planned trip. The tribe know they meet!!! It was admitted that the guy do the same thing over and over again with the same tribe. The tribe get salt, rice, tobacco, bottles,etc,etc. They get something to play the game. Just saying to people this is not a real "first contact".

[mygodDYLAN1]

the common cold still kills 400,000 - 500,000 people every year

[derap34]

This has already been exposed by bbc as a hoax

[RockAngel7878]

@derap34 Really ??!

[ihsannysrock]

3:50 jahat means evil not killers...tsk..

[32Iroomi321]

Keep in mind that these primitive people are probably depleting the stock of certain wildlife. The first priority is protecting wildlife. There are already more than enough humans in this world. Removing these people will stop their senseless slaughter of all sorts of animals, who can then be safely housed in zoos. This will also allow for unprecedented access to hidden & overgrown archeological sites, & free up valuable real estate for residential, commercial, & industrial use.

[LipSyncLover]

@32Iroomi321 are you implying we should just do away with people so that our "wildlife" can flourish? We are part of that wildlife buddy. humans may be different from animals but we are still a species. other species of animals intrude upon other species all the time. and different species go extinct at an unstoppable rate. we're so arrogant about our effect on this world's natural cycle when we really dont have all that much control over it. I'm not condoning littering of course.

[chlowean1]

Animal Attractions you thought we would have learn't after colonialism!

[vasant85]

roger sandall speaks a bit like david attenbourough lol.

[sciencealwayswins]

methinks thou doth protest too much, Kelly.

[PaXx]

If we keep contacting these people, there will be no uncontacted people left. So they "go extinct"... the uncontacted people are part of the worlds multitude .

[silentpounce]

look at the top right of the screen at 5.26 evil tribe in the back

[okpapereat]

lol good eyes, i prolly wont even noticed if no one said it.

[acerb45666555]

Kelly could be instrumental in creating a Tribal Police, to insure all travellers, miners, etc are questioned before entering tribal lands. some tribes far off in Brazil have hired outsiders to do such things. one tribe now has its own paved highway through its turf. and highway patrol units!

[acerb45666555]

my final opinion is that if Kelly set it up at least its a good show and the locals get some cash out of it. but, it hes genuine, then hes risking getting these tribes sick with our horrible diseases.

[ralf5387]

That Kelly guy needs to go home to Wisconsin

[gabriel2pereira]

Iv been there i think is in panama acandi fromtier with colombia acandi

I think anyway Im south american .but very interresting the trip

[shaggy2685]

No it is in Indonesia.

[AutodidacticPhd]

Guide, "rationalize rationalize rationalize"

Host, "Oh, rationalize rationalize?"

Guide, "yeah, rationalize."

Host, "ok... rationalize rationalize..."

If these guys put their minds to it, they could probably convince themselves that Hitler was a pretty benign character really... pathetic.

[mongobobo]

Yeah, definately made a love connection on this trip

[redstonest]

"In markets of Singapore, this stuff is more valuable than gold"?

Where did he get this info from?lol

[silentpounce]

he didnt say valuable, he said precious. and no its not the same thing

[bakedllama11]

that kelly guy says "yeah" ALOT.

[laxgoalieguy30]

this is sad. Leave them alone.

[Samyaza69]

@laxgoalieguy30 is a hoax buddy anyway! I bet right now they are using facebook on their iPad!

[rickhorror]

this blonde haired pig woman is annoying..."they have to do it on theyre own" well whos to say whats wrong and whats right..i say as long as you arent killing these people who cares if people want to take eco trips

[ValekShadow]

Just contacting shouldnt be that bad. BUT there can be unknowns.

Like if a tourist is sick. Has contact with a tribesman. The tribesman takes the sickness back to his tribe and the sickness wipes them out because they have no immunity. And if they are a social tribe then it could spread to other tribes and so on an so forth.

[iMaKeUsHoOk]

@rickhorror agreed...people make it sound like it's evil to visit people lol

[geico1989]

the tree on 1:47 looks like those antennas disguised as trees.

[lmbg77]

good eye but im sure its not.

[rickhorror]

similar but not an antenna
