Napoleon and Ken
Napoleon was worse in my opinion, he gave them weapons which created violence he forced them to ingest radioactive chemicals. And by doing that he affected more people then Ken did. On the other hand Ken is just a weirdo and only affected one girl. Now what he did to that one girl was horrible. But in the end she got to return to her home land. So with that said I believe Napoleon was worse.

I agree with this post. What was said was very similar to my opinions. I agree that Napoleon was worse because what he did had more of a long term effect on their culture. Ken Good took complete advantage of Yarima, but comparatively he only influenced one person. Napoleon supplied weapons that led to violence and death. If he had never entered the Yanomamo culture, the world would not have the judgmental view on them. What he did effected many more people than what Ken Good did.
I agree with yoou Dylan. Both of them did bad things but what Napolean did was worse. He affected a whole society. He also caused many unnecesary deaths to the Yanamamo people. I agree with you about Ken. What he did was creepy but it wasn't as bad as Napolean.
I concur. Napoleon didn't really have much of a research goal other than to make them seem violent. He simply imposed and supported their violent ways. Ken just followed through with some culture's ways. Also, what Cagnon did with the chemicals and whatnot could also have an adverse effect on following generations. Marrying a Yanomamo will only effect one or two people.
