I feel that the history of the Andaman people is one of the most interesting stories of the people’s evolution. My view is that expeditions organized to study the people living in isolated tribes can provide a variety of the important information to solve the puzzles of the human development. However, I was shocked to learn about the problems that these people experience nowadays in order to survive (“First Out of Africa”).
From my point of view, the disturbance of these people even with the goal of exploration and important discoveries cannot be fully justified. The thought that these people did not want to be disturbed influenced my perception of the story and actions of the Indian officials.
I think that the Andaman people built their life according to their norms and principles to feel safe in their isolated world. As a result, any disturbances from researchers and the Indian officials can have the dramatic effects on them because of the fear of changes or risks of diseases. Still, such explorations of the societies and cultures can be discussed as important to understand the human evolution in detail.
My view on the exploration of the Andaman people’s origin is based on the idea that the process of finding the answers to research questions or attempts to civilize the Andaman people can lead to destroying their lives. On the other hand, the evolution means the progress, and now, it can be a point in the time when the Andaman people can be civilized and become more like developing tribes rather than cultures the even did not use farming. From this point, I see this movie’s topic as rather ambiguous, and it made me think a lot.
