Super Short Summary

Darkness in El Dorado by Patrick Tierney accuses researchers, including James V. Neel and Napoleon Chagnon, of unethical actions impacting the Yanomamö people, like improper vaccine use, fostering violence, and lacking informed consent for biological sample collection, while also alleging sexual exploitation by other scientists, creating significant controversy and prompting investigations that validated some but not all claims. The book includes descriptions of sexual abuse and exploitation, and invasive medical procedures on indigenous people.
