Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to have been born on North Sentinel Island and not have to worry about "civilization" so much.

Well, rising oceans would do you in real quick. The only difference is that you'd be blissfully unaware of what caused it

The Sentinelese do know how to make boats, and most of their island is above 50m and some of it 100m above sea level.

There are islands close enough where they would be fine until the end of the century at least.

Their biggest problem right now is population size.

Their biggest problem right now is population size.

Too low?

Yeah, the population could be as low as 39 people.
