Yanomamo People
In my opinion Napoleon Chagnon's actions were much worse against the Yanomamo people. He made them out to be a war hungry savages, and didn't give them a chance to show who they really were. He gave them weapons and made them fight each other, and may have started a measles epidemic just to see what would happen. His actions seem a lot worse to me than Ken Good's. Yes, he married a 12 year old, but he was just accepting the Yanomamo culture and trying to be accepted.

I agree. Ken Good marrying a young Yanomamo girl was bad. But Napoleon did something worse. He gave the Yanomamo people weapons. There are children in the culture and giving them weapons was not a good idea.
