The image depicts a nearly naked man amid a vast area of rainforest, spear pointed at the
helicopter hovering above him – a man defending his territory and people from outside influence. This
very scene made front-page news some years ago in the UK. It instantly highlighted the loss of ancestral
homelands some tribal communities round the world face.
Bad news has a way of dominating the headlines, so we're of the opinion that all indigenous
communities and their culture are in decline – and that's not true. But the allure of propagating the
"disappearing tribe" narrative is strong. It’s frustrating to see journalists who go on assignment with a set

Humans think of themselves as the world’s apex predators. Hence the silence of sabre-tooth tigers,
the absence of moas from New Zealand and the long list of endangered megafauna. But sars-cov-2
shows how people can also end up as prey. Viruses have caused a litany of modern pandemics, from
Covid-19, to hiv/aids to the influenza outbreak in 1918-20, which killed many more people than the first

annihilated many of the original inhabitants.
