First Contact with Uncontacted Tribes
Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 1:27 pm
Speaking primarily in the eighties, Jaynes felt that no uncontacted tribes remained to be discovered. More recent evidence suggests that some uncontacted tribes do in fact remain, for example in the Papua, New Guinea; the Amazon; and the Andaman Islands (see other posts in this section).
Unfortunately, those studying recently contacted tribes to the best of our knowledge are not familiar with Jaynes's theory and are not asking the right questions. The window of opportunity to study recently contacted tribes from a Jaynesian perspective is rapidly closing.
