My problem is the ethical dilemma. Is it even moral to watch people in such a voyeuristic manner, for scientific reasons? Why couldn’t our governments give CIA access to a grad student in psyc to see what porn people ACTUALLY watch?

Don’t get me wrong, it’s the principle I care about as an intellectual endeavour. People do immoral shit all the time. But I really think about these guys and think that by observing them we open the doors to treating people (no matter how unimportant) like animals. The best moral solution would be to make contact, but that doesn’t make it the ipso facto best idea.

It is not ethical to invade the privacy of the North Sentinel island tribe by hiding cameras on their land. The tribe has lived in isolation for thousands of years and has not had contact with the outside world. They have not been exposed to modern diseases and their immune systems may not be able to handle contact with outsiders. Additionally, the tribe has made it clear that they do not want contact with the outside world. In 2006, two fishermen who landed on the island were killed by the tribe. For these reasons, it is important to respect the tribe's wishes and avoid contact with them.

Fuck that. They struck first. Did you know that those fishermens bodies are still there on the island. The fucking savages won't even allow anyone to collect them. That's not fair on their families.

This would need to be done over a very long period, using already installed cameras the make sure everything is safe as they install new cameras (there needs to be underground cabling and such, to keep cameras powered.

Then we could do religion tests. Make one of them meet and angel, or something, kidnap him/her during night and give them a revelation, put them to sleep, and put them back. See how the rest of the group reacts... Give prophesies of weather in their "dreams", and so on.

What do you mean? The tribe name is in the filename. Presumably they collect shiny junk to use as jewelry. The bottlecaps look to be a common thing for them, but the lip piercing with feather seems relatively uncommon. Interesting people.

Language is one, figuring out their language and finding out how it branched off from another language tree of humanity, or whether it is its own thing completely.

Another is dna, finding out what line they branched off from, or if they have evolved differently. This should be of interest to geneticists.

They became isolated because the europeans, I forgot which specific country not that it matters, kidnapped one of their young people to show them the wonders of the modern world so they could go back and tell everyone but that person ended up dying of a disease because they had never made contact before. So from the sentinelese perspective these white people came to their island kidnapped a child and killed them for no reason.
