the sad thing is when you see a guy in the middle of papua new guinea wearing a t-shirt advertising some awful global product. god save us all from rampant capitalism. we have evolved to this stage because of our genetic differences, lets hope that mankind still has enough sense to reject the elimination of our diversity for the sake of corporate profit.

Actually, in recent times aboriginal populations have reached/surpassed their pre-Contact levels.
In Canada, First Nations are the fastest growing population group. They are also growing quite heavily in the States.
Aboriginal people do use technology. No culture remains immune to outside influences. Aboriginal life is nothing like Hollywood portrayals of theold west or prior times. There are (and have been) aboriginal doctors, laywers, politicans, scientists, authors, professors, and professionals of all sorts. Many skyscrapers employ aboriginal construction workers, who tend to (genetically or otherwise) have less fear of heights.
The "vanishing Indian" myth has a long and interesting history, but one founded on many untrue assumptions, including that the only way to live "Indian" is to do so in traditional costume with old technologies. It's as inaccurate as expecting all Scots to live according to their portrayal in Braveheart, or all Japanese to live in a Samurai culture. Times change, and people adapt to the times, even if stereotypes don't.

Technically, I think they would have been fine, because if they did not know about God and Jesus, they could not be judged for knowing and rejecting them. Those of us who are Christians are told to help spread the Gospel. I don't have a problem with someone coming in and telling the people about God and Jesus and leaving. I do have a problem with the way force has been used in the past to convert people. That has nothing to do with free will or love.

Yes, the San Bushmen of the Kalahari desert (South Africa and Botswana) are basically extinct. It happened in the last 100 years, so very very very sad.

They probably won't die out, but they will be assimilated, the more they are exposed to the outside world.

Most have been killed out...........and are still being killed out...can you believe it...........still they haven't learned after all of these years.........thank you for the compliment..........!
They are indeed amazing people......they trust in God to take care of them not like us........we depend on man and not truly God........who left God or U.S. to truly trust God (to me at least) is to live like the lilly of the field or the sparrow...!
To have faith or to Know!
Have a great day......!

No, they will not die out. Their cultures are better than ours, and they know it.

Yes, one day they will all be assimilated into mainstream culture or forced off their land.
