They are one of the indigenous people on the Island, one of the first to leave Africa (55,000 years ago). They lost 3/4th of their population due to outsiders contact starting in 1998 (they had little to no immunity to the likes of measles, gonorrhea, etc). They're no longer hostile to outsiders as they were before. The highway through Jarawa reserve which was built in 1970s has ultimately led to what human right watchers call "the human safari". In recent years, the Jarawa women have suffered a lot sexual abuse, illegal poaching by outsiders, been introduced to alcohol and drugs by the Indian settlers who out number them by 1,000 to 1. They're currently considered the most endangered people.
They are so beautiful. What can we do to protect these people from afar?

Sadly you can't preserve this culture. They've been infiltrated by other cultures. It's not like saving an endangered species of wildlife. Change, for the good or bad will continue.

But it's like I been saying our condition wipes out other groups of people easily and this wasn't even 20 years. The natives got wiped out, so when I speak that black economic and pro-black knowledge I shouldn't have one side eye look. We are more than enough intelligent to preserve ourselves and control our own destiny and understanding of the world around us without needing no one else, because they don't preserve a single life and disrupt everything they go to like a virus. -
You are aware that the Jarawa are Asian, not African right? Or were you being inclusive of other races?

He said in the op that they were the first to leave Africa, so they left Africa and ended up in Asia , no?babelipsss wrote: »You are aware that the Jarawa are Asian, not African right? Or were you being inclusive of other races?

Their progenitors of the asian race and also have the Haplogroup "D' which is older than the usual African Y haplogroup "E", but African women X chromosome is older.
So yes they are Asians, but what I'm saying is that you see these groups of people right here and being wiped out in our very eyes and we playing games not to save ourselves and our environment. We got to be crazy. -
Do a little checking my friend. There was a whole documentary on the culture a year two ago. The are genetically Asian. Don't go by the dark skin.
-
Okay, we agreed that they are Asian. Like us they have high amount of melanin and correspond with nature and not disrupt the habitat. So basically the mutations of them are basically wiping them out. Now, we got that out of the way we are good.

There is a saying that goes something like, "How are you going to keep them on the farm when they have seen the city lights?" Those people have been exposed and are naturally curious. The clock won't ever go back for them and that's sad. But it was never ours to preserve.

It's up to them and I fear they will not exist in the next thirty years. This is the beast. -
The gatdamn white man and the pale asian is about to destroy them. It will first start with ? those women and producing little fatherless halfbreeds.

so how are they asian and if you put them in america they would be considered black? their hair was nappier than mine.

They should of took the sentinel island approach. Outsiders ain't made it in or out till this day I hear.
-
When did they start making contact with outsiders? I thought they were basically firing off on anyone who got near.

Gonorrhea? Who the hell went to the island, saw the natives and proceeded to say: "I wanna ? ?"

400 people is 400 people man. All you can do is try to not pollute their spot (India is like China with less ? to give when it comes to pollution) and document their culture/art/etc for future generations.
