Amazon shares his opinions and ideas on the topic at hand.

On the basis of the misleading presentation of the Yanomami did Chagnon, displaying to the world as a tribe “fierce” and subsequent “studies” and films in which they handled with serious consequences of interactions between researchers and members of these tribes, presents a current picture properly structured and supported by direct interviews with eyewitnesses and descendants of these, and with plenty of documentary evidence and testimony from civil and military authorities of the region, and the testimony of members of institutions and ry s working in the area, a cluster is impossible to underestimate the evidence of the terrible consequences that can result in irresponsible anthropological research, the corruption of the authorities (not only military and government of the time but also academic) and the destruction and the end, not only the environment but the very existence of cultures that do not have any defense against the intrusion of “modern man” in their space and their lives.
