^ this.

Whilst there are many, many priceless advantages to primitive life, the disadvantages
are just as numerous.

No tribe wants to lose it's way of life, but no tribe wants to be deprived of advantages
like modern medicine and education.

Don't get carried away with romanticism.

Perhaps they already have something better!
Who know what technological heights they have reached whilst we have been in our
relative dark age.

I bet they are years ahead of us...perhaps the other half of their tribe lives on some
kinda Mars base not yet detected by our primitive space exploration vessels.

Dunno about it being their first sighting of an aircraft as i imagine they overfly the region a fair amount, but its likely the first one to come in and hover just outside of arrow range.

As a matter of fact now that i think about it, any previous sightings from further away would give them time to work up an explanation for them. I'd sure be interested in knowing what that is. Evil spirit that can be driven off, big juicy bird, who knows? Something that would make at least a couple of them be willing to attack one when it got close enough i'd venture to say.

Yes, I saw this on the net and it brought to mind the comedy film a local producer made called , "The Gods Must Be Crazy". There, an isolated Bushman tribe were introduced to 'our world' after the pilot of a small plane threw out his empty coke bottle - which was then later picked up by one of the tribsmen. If memory serves, I think it was quite a hit overseas - some of you might have seen it.
