Isolated tribes are very interesting, from a scientific point of view. And the reason, why those groups of people, what lives in primitive conditions is so fascinating is their medical and another survivor skills. The reason, why those things are very interesting, is how those people avoid the diseases like cancer or infections? Those things are cured in the western world in hospitals and in the cure is needed the very complicated systems, but the main questions are, how those tribes, what lives in the forests without electricity and other equipment can give right medicals for the members of the group without x-ray machines and other medical indicators?


How they can give the cure for infections, or how they can take care of their teeth and other condition? And the things that are very interesting are, how those people can survive in the jungle, what is full of snakes and spiders, what can cause very bad injuries or even kill with poison? The thing how those people, who live in the Amazonas jungles can give medicine and cure the person, who is injected with poison and those people have no antivenom for those bites.


We must remember that antivenom for neurotoxin is unable to work in the case when the body is injected with tissue poison, and those poisons cause gangrene, what must be removed, or the victim would die. Those poisons are thought to be key to make more effective medicals for cancer and infections. Those extreme effective cell poisons could be equipped with an enzyme, what would transfer them to the cells, what might be wanted to destroy, and the targeted cells can be bacteria or cancer cells.


The nanotechnology would be allowed to make those chemicals very powerful and effective medicals, what would take the infection to control even in the minutes. This is the very nice vision, but what we would have the skills, what those primitive tribes would have. They can make diagnoses without technology and also they can predict erupting volcanoes and tsunamis. And those people can survive in the very tough environment and move unseen even in the city area.



Those people would sometimes visit in the cities and they are not seen during those trips. Also, the scientists would be interesting about the mythology of those tribes, because they would tell stories of the natural disasters and other interesting things. There are not many things, what has been changed in those people live since the stone age, and that means that their mythology has stayed clean, and there might be stories, what are interested in modern scientists.

Metamorphose is a very interesting thing and many native believing and stories are the tales about creatures, what are able to change their shape as an animal. The idea that some person could change it's shaped between human and animal is very fascinating.  Also in Finnish national book Kalevala the bad creature, Louhi (1) could change her creature as a giant eagle. The creature is similar to the native American Indian stories about Skin-walkers (2), the witches, what can take animals form. And there are some other tales about creatures, what change as the animals when they want to do that.


The most well-known characters are of course werewolves and naguals (3) . The last one is some kind of werewolf, but it normally takes the form of a coyote, puma or wolf, and this connects it to the creature of the werewolf. When we are thinking about this very well known the character of horror tales and movies, we would forget one very good explanation for that beast, what has the shape of the man. The origin of those creatures might be men, who wear the wolf skins as clothes, and that's why those men were called as "werewolves".


The stories about those monsters might be meant first some professional soldiers, who would try to be like normal people, but when somebody tried to hurt them, they would use their combat skills. Maybe the origin of this mythical creature is Vikings, who might be ordinary traders, but when the people, who had expensive clothes or equipment came, those traders took the form of warriors and started to rob the village.


In some German mythologies, werewolves were creatures, what defended the people against evilness, but this is not the very common thing to write about that creature. The common way to talk about the werewolves is that they wanted blood and flesh of innocent people, and that's why they were evil creatures, what fate was the silver bullet.
