Germ Warfare in Peru
Some idiots filming a reality television show in Peru managed to kill off some natives that have lived with very little contact with the outside world. Apparently they spread the flu to some of the natives These people lived in the Amazon jungle on the banks of the Rio Alto Madre de Dios (High Mother of the Gods River). Although these tribes do use Peruvian currency, they still hunt birds with bows and arrows. Their lives have changed very little in the last 500 years. I was really surprised to see them, as I had no idea there were stone age cultures living in the Amazon.
