Lately i got interested in reading about uncontacted people (wiki definition: Uncontacted peoples are peoples who, either by choice or chance, live without significant contact with the larger civilizations of the world.) I can't imagine people who don't have any contact with outside world. According to FUNAI (Brazilian National Indian Foundation) brazil part of the amazon forest contains atleast 67 uncontacted tribes, up from 40 in 2005. More tribes are being found as the deforestation increases.
Everybody in one particular tribe is massacred except one male. He is living in the forest all alone (imagine living in forest all alone and everybody you ever know is dead). He is refusing to communicate with outsiders. He hides in the six feet deep holes which he digs, when outsider approaches (known as "Man of the hole"). After British explorers confirmed his existense (video is attached below) brazil government announced 1000 acres reserveration for this lone man.
Atleast three different tribes belived to be living in Andaman Islands and they miraculously survived the 2004 Tsunami.
