Well, turns out that the "lost" Amazon tribe that was in the news recently is a hoax - sort of. The tribe is real enough but scientists have known about them for nearly 100 years:

This is just another example of the massive credibility gap that exists today. People will lie, exaggerate, obfuscate and do just about anything but tell the truth - if they think they can make a buck or get a moment of fame.
When did the thrill of real discovery get replaced by the cheap high of practical joking?

Since they have nothing else to talk about in their minds. At least we haven't done anything to destroy them, like we did with the Indians. _________________ http://www.ufoalley.net
