> Odd - being downvoted for what I see as having some compassion for this man. Maybe I'm missing something. If so, please explain so I can learn.

Many people make judgments relative to a group rather than an individual. Such people wouldn't see your stance as positive because you're allowing for a loss to the group. Any cost to that individual that brings a benefit to the group would be acceptable in this worldview.

There is not much to learn about the man. There is no scientific advancement that he possessed that we don't. He is the last of his tribe with a language that will be doomed when he was gone. The obly person will benefited will be some socialogist doing a research on him but now he wont be able to add a paper to his name on that topic. Leave him alone is the best response from a compassionate human beings. Imagine every humans outsider massacre your clans whenever you see them, I really doubt you would love to be contacted by outsiders. Perhaps if you can offer heavenly pleasure say a mate (you or another willing partners?). Doubt so. So the OP is very positive...but the HN crowds are not as proven from this very instance.
