This Uncontacted Tribe can teach us something about States

Does every human being need the protection of a state? This centuries-old question has baffled political scientists for a very long time. Both the idea of the perfect state and the idea of complete freedom from the state have been romanticized by famous scholars, including Thomas Hobbes and Jean Jacques Rousseau. But will we ever find an answer to this theoretical question?

In this video, we try to do exactly that by looking at a group of human beings which seemingly have no need for a state at all: uncontacted tribes, which live lives as extremely isolated hunter-gatherers in the most inaccessible regions of Africa, Asia and South America. We examine how they have fared without the state throughout history while focusing on the Sentinelese, the infamous isolated natives of North Sentinel Island, which has often been described as India’s forbidden island.
