NEW DELHI — India's Supreme Court has banned all commercial and tourism activity near an ancient tribe's habitat in the country's remote Andaman and Nicobar islands in the Indian Ocean. The ruling bars hotels and resorts from operating within a five-kilometer buffer zone around the Jarawa reserve, which is home to the ancient Jarawa tribal people. The Jarawas are among the world's most ancient people, with many still hunting with bows and arrows and rubbing stones together to make fire. Scientists believe they were among the first people to migrate from Africa to Asia around 70,000 years ago. — AP
