There is no record of Marco Polo ever visiting the Andaman Islands, so his brief description of the islanders must have been drawn from a secondary source. They were, he wrote, “a most brutish and savage race, having heads, eyes, and teeth like those of dogs. They are very cruel, and kill and eat every foreigner whom they can lay their hands upon.”

A layperson-friendly anthropological study
Revisado: 03-24-21
This is a fascinating accumulation of anthropological records which provide the only known details on the indigenous people of North Sentinel Island. Perhaps what I appreciate most is that this didn't feel too erudite for my layman's perspective to understand! Everything is presented in a way that's accessible even if you're not a social scientist by trade. It has the general air/tone of an educational textbook (which is entirely appropriate), and the narrator enunciates well and reads at a relaxed (but not dragging) pace. I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in learning about the island without having to watch internet videos of dubious origin or comb for the more scholarly articles available online that are scattered throughout search engine results.
