arXiv:1702.04149
Abstract
Cholanaikkans are a diminishing tribe of India. With a population of less than 200 members, this tribe living in the reserved forests about 80 km from Kozhikode, it is one of the most isolated tribes. A programme of the Government of Kerala brings some of them to Kozhikode once a year. We studied various aspects of the tribe during such a visit in 2016. We report their science and technology.
