Not having the time or funding to perform my own study does not invalidate my criticism that the authors used an incomplete and flawed data set.

On mobile I can avoid ads by using a VPN to my home network which then has pihole. Usually I just don’t watch any videos on mobile

I don't have premium, and I don't see any ads either

Conclusions drawn from incomplete or misleading data are worthless to everyone

I am concerned only with the factuality of the data presented and have zero interest in cultural implications and any inferences that may be drawn from them.

Uncontacted peoples are groups of Indigenous peoplesliving without sustained contact with neighbouring communities and the world community.

It’s right there in the link I provided, so yes, because infrequent contact and observation is possible.

Sigh, taking such claims at face value and not looking into how the underlying data was obtained is how we end up with so many successfully published but false scientific papers.

The paper referenced here is https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0287101

The cultures 'surveyed' are

Notice any uncontacted peoples missing from those data points? Here's a quick list of them from Wikipedia

Immediately I can tell you the Sentinelese, Awa, Toromona, Nukak, Tagaeri and the Taromenanepeople are not represented here. It's almost like the societies selected for this paper weren't a complete picture.

I wonder why that would be.... surely not to conform to any biases of the authors.

Huh, I wonder why virtually every uncontacted tribe we've found so far has the men doing all* the hunting?

*I don't consider foraging for clams hunting, but people are free to disagree

A bad way to go. I hope this is the catalyst for change in Uganda.

If only more women (and men) were like her

I expect Russians to cry foul over this but early on Russia was using thermobaric weapons on civilian targets and they said nothing, so we know they're just hypocrits and monsters.
