Put some Bushmen in Kazakh steppes for 10,000 years and then put them in South Europe for 40,000 years and they develop blue eyes and white skin, but alas they also develop very aggressive nature and superiority complex along and with greed that very nearly destroys the biosphere. And then they call their ancestors not fully human.

Beautiful people that respect the earth, living in harmony with nature, and not polluting the earth. I have full respect for these people.

They are not monkeys, they communicate with speech and use of language.

The fact that all the narrator can say is that these organic Nubians of the earth called white people names, is reflective of the evil and destruction that has been placed upon these innocent beings. If they have no knowledge of the outside world how would they gain info about white people being devils? We don't even know what these peaceful, innocent people are saying. They couldn't have said that because they are peacefully allowing themselves to be videoed. Stop the bullish!

where exactly on little andaman is the footage taken? where can I get the whole footage?

[zwanzigquadratcm]

@Doleafol yes, the andaman archipelago was connected with present myanmar (ayeyarwady delta) back then.

theres only 200 of them left thats not enough genetic itegrity to last in perpetualty for ever only about 200 more years they would have to be cloned in some way to survive genetically im against cloning them to have them survive becasue its not natural if mother nature wanted them to live forever then the jarawa would have conquered more libenstruam (living space) by now the clock is ticking 8 more genrations and there all dead.

@Allnatural7 Well said! These people they survived for millennia and it is our "modern civilization" which is destroying their environment to which we all depend upon it.

If we hadn't been "visited" we wouldn't end up engaged in destrying our own planet earth.

@pkdevaiah Wtf? What does Islamic faith have to do with this? I hope that they have zero contact with crazed Christians, their of the world is more cancerous because their religion has caused mass genocide to various indiginous groups around the world for over centuries. With their superiority complex.

[pkdevaiah]

Lucky people who escaped every religion...i wish i could live like these people..this is how god made us..i am sure some there are some Muslim guys are looking at a opportunity here... God please ensure religion obsessed Muslim never steps on this land

@Sahbisun

I guess, what I was saying is that the Andaman Islanders DO LOOK African because their original ancestors were from Africa. The original settlers of the islands came to the islands after leaving Africa and followed a route to the islands by way of India. They traveled along the coast and then headed out to sea from somewhere off the coast of India. I AM NOT saying that people who leave Africa no longer look African.

[Sahbisun]

@Doleafol

They look markedly African in appearance...the first humans that left Africa followed a couastal route? Are you saying if you leave africa you no longer look/ appear african?
