In 1971,In the Philippines, some men discovered a group of 25 people in the rainforest. They called themselves Tasaday people and they lived like cave people in the stone age. They had fire but they did not use the wheel, did not have agriculture. They collected plants to eat and they trapped fish in the river. They were very peaceful people and they believed that the animals were their natural friends.
The scientists claimed for protection and many governments gave money to the Philippines to make sure the Tasaday people were safe.They stopped all tree-cutting and road building in the area.
A few months later, a journalist visited the Tasadays and he discovered that these people lived in houses, not in caves, they watched television and they wore modern clothes. They told the journalist that they were paid to look like prehistoric people.
When the scientists returned very angry they found Tasadays living like in the stone age cave people again.
Today that status is widely considered a hoax, although controversy remains.
Perhaps the journalist wanted to write a good story and perhaps he gave them some money to live in houses, or perhaps the scientists wanted to save the forest. What do you think?
