On one of his periodic trips to remote parts of the Amazon to visit isolated indigenous tribes, Sydney Possuelo checks in with a band of Korubo that he first contacted in 1996. The band's number has remained constant since then. The only deaths have been those of children: An anaconda attacked one youngster while the group was bathing, and there have been three infanticides, a not uncommon practice among Amazonian tribes. The population of some tribes has decreased sharply after first contact with outsiders.

| 访问亚马逊流域边远地区的原始部族 |
最近,巴西的悉德尼-波隧罗先生(右二)在其定期对亚马逊流域边远地区的与世隔绝的土著人的一次访问中,正在查验他于1996年第一次接触的克鲁伯族的人数。该族的人数自那时起一直保持着稳定,唯一的死亡发生在儿童身上:在他们游泳时一只巨蟒袭击了最年幼的一员,此外还有3起弑婴案,这在亚马逊部族中并非罕见。有些部族在与文明社会的人第一次接触后人数就剧减。
