The Sentinelese have successfully fought off all agricultural people for literally this entire time! Including a 2018 Darwin Award winner.

If ever there was a case where the exception proves the rule, this is it. The only reason the Sentinelese are an exception is that they're on a remote island in the middle of nowhere. The land isn't of any real value to anyone. And, far from trying to take the land, the Indian government is now using the navy to protect the Sentinelese from outsiders.
