how would that be known if they are isolated from our 'world'?
or was that a smart ass comment? lol
Tell you what why don't you prove that they don't. Unless they're not humans then they get the same chromosomal mutations & damage that causes cancer resulting in malignancy becasue it happens to every group of people & I can say that with 100% certainty. & yeah almost everything I post is a smart ass comment "Big whoop wanna fight about it".

It would be even better if they didn't get cancer, because then we could study their specific genetic makeup to try and determine why they don't and we do.

Whether or not they "know" a cure for something is irrelvent to the fact they will certainly hold beneficial information for our species.

However, that can also be the catalyst for us destroying them/their culture.

how would you study them when we are leaving them isolated? i do agree to what your saying about cancer and event other diseases but im wondering how you would be able to get a sample without them noticing and without them being infected by us? i mean we would litterly have to go in there all suited up since we are constantly around bacterias and polutants that would harm them just being close. one of us could be carrying the cold virus and it would wipe them out...

That is the conundrum that I pointed out in the last sentence of my post.

I don't think there is a way to simulatenously leave them alone and study whatever potential benefits their genetics, culture, medicine, etc may offer.

Its either one or the other, both for the reason you listed (exposure to a new virus etc), and our inherent nature seems to destroy rather than perserve.

we'll get there eventually and slaughter them all like we've done to everyone else... shit's sad cause they could have knowledge of plants and herbs from that area that could really help medical science... shit imagine how much knowledge we'd have today if that douche cortez hadn't offed the mayans.
hernan cortez ''offed'' the aztecs.

well there is two sides to this coin..study them and run tests so we can determine why they are amune to certain diseases or let them be alone and find another way on our own to figure that out..i'd probably pick the second of the two. think about how long it takes for the use of any cure to be reacted to..the medical profession gets paid well as do the billion dollar companies that dilute any drug so a person never truely reaps all the bennifits and in some cases the drugs made only prolong illnesses from becoming severe so they can in fact continue to make money and maintain the populus. i do however think by observing them we can learn about how anchient tribes could have behaved and maybe that would open up more information and more questions would be answered..

I think its only alright to contact these types of cultures if its in the interest of learning their way of life, as apposed to teaching them our way of life. That is how we fucked up in the past, trying to impose our way of life instead of trying to learn from theirs. We lost a ridiculous amount of information when all our ancestors came over here and took the Americas.
