i'd no idea there still are 'undisturbed' peoples:

You would think it's impossible in today's crowded world to remain isolated. The photos are stunning and hopefully it won't change anything in the lives of the natives. I see that tribe was into body paint and tattoos. I guess that explains a lot about why people still do it today. It's in our genes.

but if it's in our genes, why do some people have such a strongly negative reaction to them?

personally I regard it as any artwork: if I like it and if it's well done, I don't care where it's displayed.

It's body mutilation that is made acceptable by calling it art. I'm surprised primitive tribes would be into it, and I'm betting they don't do it for aesthetic purposes.

I don't look at all of it as such; some is and some isn't, in my view. also totally creepy those "messages", like Revenge and Revenge Taken. but hey, thanks for the warning, i'm pretty sure I know what type of person you are...

I'm not sure what kind of person I am -- maybe we should talk
