In a letter dated 14 May 1728, a Dutch East India company official writes to the Governor-General about a group of people camping out in the ocean off the coast of Indonesia. Two hundred years later, marine biologist suggests a theory of our evolution which gets dismissed by the scientific fraternity. So what do these two incidents have in common? In the first episode of a new series, People Unlike Us, Utsav takes you up close to the life of a people who have lived on the sea for over a thousand years - The Bajau Laut, more popularly known as the Sea Nomads. Tune in to see up close a way of life most of us could not imagine, and how their existence could have clued into the future of our own.
