Forget Mars, let's explore the Brazil/Peru border

I came across this story and accompanying photos this morning and couldn't help but see a strong resemblance to the photos of the Waodani from the 1950s. Two questions immediately came to mind:

1. I wonder who will be the first to attempt to make contact with this people group?

2. From the experience of Elliot, Saint, et. al., how will the contact attempts be different and what will be the same?


In light of yesterday's post, which do you think will be reached first, a human on Mars or outside contact with at least one of the 100 or so uncontacted tribes in the Brazil/Peru region?
