It looks like the last verified contact with them has been in 2018. Recently a youtuber went there and tried to get their attention, but couldn’t find them.

Is it possible they’re not even still around? Maybe a disease found its way onto their island and took them out. It could have even been from the last visitor in 2018.

    They pretty famously kill people who come ashore and try to make contact. They don’t engage with people who are stranded other than to leave them food (according to one account of shipwrecked sailors, and I don’t have the article).

    These people had a rough go the first contact they had, they haven’t been receptive since.

    Just leave them the fuck alone.

      the last who was killed, tried to proselytze them to christianity. yea because the first contact involve kidnapping thier children and giving them diseases. so the INDIAN government will not pursue any charges if the adamans kill invaders.

      OP looks to be aware of the situation and isn’t asking whether or not to bother them. He’s asking if there is currently evidence of whether or not they are alive.
