主持人：本期节目探讨了与世隔绝的土著居民群体，他们与现代文明隔绝，保持着传统的生活方式。节目介绍了这些群体的大致分布区域，包括亚马逊雨林、安达曼群岛和印度尼西亚巴布亚省等地。这些群体通常人数较少，生活方式以狩猎采集或小规模自给农业为主。他们与外界的接触往往带来灾难性的后果，例如疾病和暴力冲突，因此他们选择与世隔绝。节目中提到了几个具体的案例，例如安达曼群岛的森提内尔人，他们一直攻击试图接近他们的人；巴西的“洞穴人”，他是其部落的最后一人；以及皮里普库拉部落仅剩的两人。这些案例都反映了这些群体所面临的生存挑战。节目还讨论了不同国家对这些群体的保护措施，以及伐木、采矿等经济活动对他们的生存造成的威胁。总而言之，这些与世隔绝的土著居民群体正面临着巨大的生存压力，他们的未来充满不确定性。
