Also we have technology that will help us in the birthing process and screening of the child to ensure everything is okayUSafdarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04880870256203971293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748559254852016395.post-17054044251853888952011-12-01T19:00:57.633-05:002011-12-01T19:00:57.633-05:00Yes. they're definitely more likely to be natu...Yes. they're definitely more likely to be naturally selected than the "average" American. However, when compared to an athlete, I wonder how they would fare. Would they really be that much stronger than a very active manual laborer? I understand that as Americans, we're more likely to be overweight, nonathletic and malnutritioned, but to the significant amount of fit Americans, I don't think there's that much of a difference.Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10816257162738111015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748559254852016395.post-52666334076617370102011-12-01T08:36:26.141-05:002011-12-01T08:36:26.141-05:00This is really cool but will modern cities and civ...This is really cool but will modern cities and civilizations influence them?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748559254852016395.post-19040165959545637432011-11-30T21:31:17.164-05:002011-11-30T21:31:17.164-05:00My question is whether or not these people will re...My question is whether or not these people will remain this way for much longer. THese peolple are blessed to live so close to the land and profit from the work they put into their lives. However, outside of their little world, populations are growing, expanding, and looking for more resources. Will their lives be destroyed because companies and industries will eventually need the resources in the area of these tribes? How soon will it happen?rcorneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03835904478422035095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748559254852016395.post-8349957283861134982011-11-30T21:16:00.670-05:002011-11-30T21:16:00.670-05:00Even after discovery, they have still continued to...Even after discovery, they have still continued to practice the same lifestyle/culture.Danielle R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14684531890446205778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748559254852016395.post-21757908230217511332011-11-30T20:40:03.732-05:002011-11-30T20:40:03.732-05:00They're definitely in favor of natural selecti...They're definitely in favor of natural selection. They were born to for this.

It's cool to know that there are peple out here that still truely respect the earth. But you said they weren't discovered until 1970...have they become what us westerners would call civilized?Adelia'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09901700469664595056noreply@blogger.com
