Most Isolated Man

Slate.com has a great article, The Most Isolated Man on the Planet, that is really worth the 5 minutes it takes to read...

Brazilian government officials have been aware of a man who appears to be the last remaining member of his tribe living in the Amazon. Govt. officials have done the right thing and have opted against trying to contact the man, and have legally protected him by declaring a 31-square-mile area around him off-limits to trespassing and development.

Check out the article for more about what scientists know regarding tribes in that area of the Amazon. This article will definitely make you re-think our society's obsession with technology and our constant communication with family, friends,& strangers alike.
