Human Zoo???

Under Indian laws designed to protect ancient tribal groups susceptible to outside influence and disease, photographing or coming into contact with the Jarawa is illegal.

The tribe, thought to have been among the first people to migrate successfully from Africa to Asia, lives a nomadic existence in the lush, tropical forests of the Andamans in the Bay of Bengal.

This just makes me sad and angry! All people deserve their dignity...read the rest of the story here....

All humans deserve to be treated better than trained animals. Just
because "it's been going on since the dawn of man" does that make it the right and proper thing to do?

Sir Burton's influence is much diminished as he has been dead over 100 years...
