This is highly unlikely. I lack a good reference, but I'm from Brazil and know personally anthropologist that study modern tribal changes, such as wearing industrialized clothes, playing football, etc. I'd be bold and say it's common sense here that tribes have been deeply affected by modern civilization.

They are probably ugly.

It should be less wordy in order to improve readability. For example, "...tribe is likely to belong to the pano language group," could instead say, "...tribe likely belongs to the pano language group."

Ok. Thanks for your feedback. I tried to do my best while not copyvio the source. Maybe you should join the Newsroom and help copy edit articles before they are published.

I submitted your suggested copy edit. It has to be approved by a Reviewer.

Approved. Thanks everyone. :)
