Are Humans Really an Endangered Species? .
The Yanomami tribe is located in the Amazon Basin. The Yanomami civilization has said to of have lasted before Christ. In the Amazon Basin there are many endangered species, one of these endangered species are human. Since 1950, the tribe has decreased in half of there population. The Yanomami live the same way now that they did hundred's possibly even thousands of years ago. They live off of the natural resources and use everything that is available to them. The outside world discovered the Yanomami people in the 1950's. Since 1950, the tribe has decreased in half of there population. Since contact with the outside world, we as a society have introduced diseases and destruction of their habitat. Society is to blame for the decrease of population in the Yanomami tribe, because we are not taught how to deal with a civilization that is not as civilized and equipped as us. .
In the 1700's when the European's migrated across the Atlantic Ocean, know matter what civilization lay ahead of them they were more superior then them and that was that. We as a society only question difference, and never accept it. The Spanish told the Maya's, Incas, and the Aztec's that they would show them the key to life. They didn't understand that the people of the tribes were already happy and needed no change to there life. The United States today frowns upon any county that is not industrialized, but we never understand why they aren't.

The people of the Yanomami tribe are good people they are very similar to us. They have morals, they understand right from wrong, and they also understand the importance of family. They have their own agriculture, and they live well off their surroundings and make due with the natural resources. The Yanomami people gather fruit and hunt animals also plantains (a type of banana) are a major source of food for these people.
When we intruded upon this new world in 1950 we brought infectious diseases that have wiped out large portions of the tribe.
