The people who adhere to these cultures believe that making room for modernization could contaminate their culture. Despite their firm rejection, they still often have to deal with interference from the outside world.
Sometimes, these isolated people have to resort to violence to send a message to intruders. Such as firing their signature weapons into the air or giving clear signs not to approach. Well, here are some of the most isolated cultures in the world, as quoted from various sources.
