The most isolated villages in the world: where they live and why they keep their distance from the outside world

A recent report published by Live Science identifies approximately 196 indigenous groups globally that maintain minimal or no contact with the outside world. These communities are primarily concentrated in a specific region, with researchers noting that their isolation is a deliberate choice to remain separated from modern society.

While the study highlights the existence and geographical distribution of these isolated populations, separate discussions in media have shifted toward the broader topic of human longevity. Experts are increasingly emphasizing that healthy aging and extended life expectancy are driven by daily physical, mental, and social habits rather than genetic factors alone.
