I read once about Kumari Kandam - meaning is Female Continent. Theory, Myth or Truth?
Here''s a link to that effect

What do you make of this? Perhaps you can shed some light on it? If any at all

Do you perhaps have a link you could direct me to on the Jarawa people? ...would surely be an interesting read.

I was somewhat aware that the Aborigines of Australia travelled to South Asia first before Australia and the neighbouring islands and land masses surrounding Australia.

There's another tribe in India called the Siddis and another that live on their own island. I was always aware of the Sentinelese. The term that history is written by the victors is hogwash. It's written to suit the writer's. These writers have preference in their own history. Good write-up

Thanks for the informative post.

Please keep the missionaries away from them.

These Aboriginal ancestors probably migrated into South Asia and then into Australia, where they stayed, with the result that, outside of Africa, the Aboriginal peoples have occupied the same territory continuously longer than any other human populations. These findings suggest that modern Aborigines are the direct descendants of migrants who left Africa up to 75,000 years ago.[9][10][11] This finding is compatible with earlier archaeological finds of human remains near Lake Mungo that date to approximately 40,000 years ago.[citation needed] The idea of the "oldest continuous culture" is based on the geographical isolation of the Aboriginal peoples, with little or no interaction with outside cultures before some contact with Makassan fisherman and Dutch explorers up to 500 years BP.[12] [en.m.wikipedia.org].

How did you find out about the Jarawa? Appearances are that they have not had to change their way of life for a very long time, so they might exhibit some intriguing contrasts to other peoples.

I recall realizing at one point that as much as we have learned in our Western/European civilization (don't mean to be ethnocentric or exclude other world civilizations who contributed greatly to our current advancements and understanding) and as much as we have been able to control our surroundings with engineering, medicine, and other sciences, we share our planet with people who still live in stone age conditions. My realization came when reading about contact with Amazonian tribes some of which had only recently made contact outside their isolated worlds.

I did not know this so thank you for posting. I only have limited knowledge of the Maasai in Kenya and knew none of this.

Tribes would have started before our ancestors were verbal. It makes sense that we left Africa in groups. Verbal histories often have creation stories and many of these were very similar.

Here’s some information about the first people to leave Africa.

Since complex language evolved, at the very most, 150,000 years ago, (estimates vary from 50,000 to 150,000 years) then Hinduism cannot be "millions of years old".

It's good when beliefs of Hinduism are countered by evidence, as it is for all religions.
