It sounds weird and unbelievable that in the 21st century people and tribes like this still exist, but to be frank they do and one of such tribes is the Sentinelese tribes, the most isolated tribe in the world living on an island that is part of the Andaman group of island situated off the coast of India in the Bay of Bengal. [source](https://www.thevintagenews.com/2016/11/05/the-most-isolated-tribe-in-the-world-the-sentinelese-tribe-is-the-last-stone-age-tribe-in-the-world/
This tribe have repeatedly fought against civilization and they would do anything to resist it. This tribe lives in a small forest island called North sentinel and will attack anyone that comes very close to their territory. This tribe are mainly hunters and they hunt in groups and they also fish. But over time they are no signs of agriculture in the island meaning this tribes doesn't farm. From all indications, it appears that they get their food from two main sources which is the forest and the sea. They eat lots of coconut and other smaller fruits they gather from the forest, hunt and eat animals. But there have never been signs that this tribe makes fire so it means the eat the animals raw as well as fishes and turtles from the sea. There have never been any record of cannibalism amongs the sentinelese tribe.
This Sentinelese tribe lives in large community huts built with sticks, they don't wear cloths all they wear are leaves, fiber strings and headbands which they make using vines. Their men carry weapons about like bow and arrows made from stones or animal bones. Their population has an estimate of 220 individuals.
Due to the resistance from this tribe, no one has been able to identify the kind of language the Sentinelese tribe speak but it is assumed that this tribe speak a single language because for sure they do communicate.
This tribe have made it very clear that they don't want any form of contact with the civilized world. People of different countries have tried to communicate with the Sentinelese tribe but to no avail. They are known to be intensely hostile and destructive, they are very primitive and teritorial so once you over step your boundaries to their territory, it is either you kill them or get killed.
Before I end this write-up I will like to ask a question, How have this tribe been able to survive for about 50,000 years without a single medical aide and how on earth did they survive the 2004 India ocean earthquake and tsunami? I have repeatedly asked myself this questions. Anyone with an answer to this question should please share with us and thanks for reading.
Nature is wonderful! Civilization is man made, we can still survive without all these things that man imposes to life.
Lovely post.

This is a superb post, I must say. The Sentineleese tribe are a queer lot and they are just a few of the tribes in the world, that has resisted civilization consistently.
Judging by their very few population of just 220, you can tell they are having a raw deal and are on the verge of extinction.

You have a very strong point there. Their population shows they are gradually going into extinction. Thanks for visiting my blog..

Thanks @blinks for telling us about the Sentinelese tribes. I really never knew that such tribe as primitive as this still exist today.
As for your questions, it's important to note that people of such are masters of their environment- the forest. Don't forget that herbal medication is very potent and most of the leaves and trees found in the forest are very medicinal, hence, they will rely on that and never need any modern form of medicine.
Secondly, bearing in mind that they live in the island, it won't be wrong to assume that they're masters in swimming. People of such calibre have very high rate of survival skills and will utilize those skills when they're in danger.

@largerben you have made some very clear and useful points, but there are also other tribes like them who at one time of the order were nearly wiped out from the surface of the earth because of epidemic out breaks and the civilized world had to wave in to resure them by giving them mordern medicines even when they had herbal medicines at their disposal.
Secondly no matter how good one can swim, I don't think one can survive a tsunami. If you ask me I think the sentinelese tribe are mysterious humans or what do you think?

For your question.
I really cant pin-point the answer but i guess they have mastered the art of using herbs and plant to cure various illnesses.
But how they survived the 2004 indian ocean earthquake and tsunami, i have no idea.
Very informative post, keep it up 💪

This was an extremely interesting read. Thank you for providing this information. I have known that tribes like existed like this exist still, and it is quite fascinating to me. However I didn’t know if this specific tribe.
I will give my thoughts on their survival techniques. Like others have said, it is likely they have mastered herbal remedies. Their immunity must be very high, especially if they eat animals raw. The fish for instance could have traveled from the Atlantic and brought remnants of our diseases, gradually making them immune before it passes over their way by air.
As for the tsunami, I would assume they have a safe zone underground, which I know probably sounds unlikely on an island, however our earth’s underground system is even more vast than above ground. Tunneling several hundred miles down below. That, or these beings are able to breathe underwater.
