National Geographic notes Socotra, largest island in the Arabian Sea, remains sparsely populated with 4 000 to 45 000 residents and little infrastructure. Half the inhabitants live stone age, while others fish farm and herd. Monsoon winds and historic trade link the island to Greco Roman and Asian merchants.
