I mean, they have been there for over twelve thousand years or more and they are still going on quite well. They don't need our technology, our knowledge, our complex philosophy and our gods to exist and survive. What do they eat? What do they drink? How do they deal with their dead? Do they have any kind of political organization or familial institution? Do they worship any god? Do they believe in any entity? And how important answer to these questions is for our comprehension of life, the world and the cosmos? To the last question, there might be an answer and that would be: absolutely any. As far as we can imagine, there might be no written registers of their backgrounds, for it is possible they don't have an written alphabet, which brings to the other supposition that the language they speak, whatever it is, has no relation at all to any of the +6000 languages there are today. They are a very primitive tribe, still living in the Neolithic - or even in the Paleolithic. It is crystal clear that they don't want anything to do with anything or anyone outside their world, circumscribed by the North Sentinel Island. Their hostility towards the outsiders hadn't changed a bit since the first attempts. After the 2004 Tsunami, some volunteers from the UN had been sent to the island, in order to provide help to them, in case they need some.
