I think this was copied from something too. I read this story 1-2 years ago. Even the writing seems familiar.

The Yanomami get written about extensively in Western media because there are sensational academic debates about them and because Napoleon Chagnon is a polarizing figure. But naive Googling, at least, doesn't yield a previous version of this article.

The BBC did a story about David last fall. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-23758087

That's it! Not the same wording though so I was wrong about that.

Wow, good catch. That could be what k-mcgrady was remembering.
