The 1941 Andaman Islands earthquake struck the Andaman Islands on June 26 with a magnitude of 7.7 to 8.1.
 Details of this event are poorly known as much of Southeast Asia was in the turmoil of World War II.
 The quake caused severe damage in the Andaman Islands and as many as 8,000 people were killed by the earthquake and tsunami in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, and Sri Lanka.
 There may have been damage and deaths in Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Thailand due to the tsunami.
Eulophia andamanensis is an orchid found to occur among the Andaman and Nicobar group of Islands (off the east coast of India and also in the north-western tip of Langkawi island in Malaysia.
The occurrence of this ground orchid in Andaman Islands is restricted to some isolated pockets of certain islands and rare.
 Living collections of this taxon from the Andaman Islands is under ex situ conservation outside the islands at the Field Gene Bank of Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute, Trivandrum, India.
 It is a pre-tsunami accession.
North Sentinel Island is one of the Andaman Islands, which includes South Sentinel Island, in the Bay of Bengal.
 It is home to the Sentinelese who, often violently, reject any contact with the outside world, and are among the last people worldwide to remain virtually untouched by modern civilization.
 As such, only limited information about the island is known.
Pteroceras muriculatum is an endemic endangered orchid reported from the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal.
 This insular orchid was first described by Reichenbach in 1881 as "Thrixspermum muriculatum" Rchb.
 f. based on a few specimens procured during the latter part of 19th century by Mr W. Bull.
 This taxon has not been reported until 2005 after the type collection.
 During the floristic survey of South Andaman Islands carried out by Sam Mathew for the 'Flora India Project' of the Botanical Survey of India, this taxon was relocated in 1994 from the semievergreen forests at Chidiyatappu region.
 "Pteroceras muriculatum" (Reichb.
 f.) P. F. Hunt is a beautiful small epiphytic orchid having creamy white flowers with distinct transverse purple bands on petals.
 A living specimen collected from South Andaman Island is conserving at the Field Gene Bank of Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute, Trivandrum, India.
The Jarawas (also Järawa, Jarwa) (Jarawa: "Aong", ] ) are an indigenous people of the Andaman Islands in India.
 They live in parts of South Andaman and Middle Andaman Islands, and their present numbers are estimated at between 250–400 individuals.
 They have largely shunned interaction with outsiders, and many particulars of their society, culture and traditions are poorly understood.
Cyrtodactylus rubidus (common names Andaman bent-toed gecko or red bow-fingered gecko) is a species of gecko found in the Andaman Islands (India) and the Coco Islands (Myanmar).
 The type locality is Port Blair, Andaman Islands.
The Andamanese are the various indigenous peoples of the Andaman Islands, part of India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands union territory in the southeastern part of the Bay of Bengal.
 The Andamanese peoples are among the groups considered Negritos owing to their dark skin and diminutive stature.
 All Andamanese traditionally lived a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, and appear to have lived in substantial isolation for thousands of years.
 The Andamanese arrived at the Andaman Islands around the latest Glacial Maximum, ca. 26,000 years ago.
Piper ribesioides is a lesser known woody species known to occur in Myanmar, Andaman-Nicobar Islands, and Malesia.
 This taxon is located from the Andaman Islands in 1834 by Dr Helfer.
 He was a geologist who made extensive botanical collections from Tenasserim (Myanmar) and Andaman Islands.
 Unfortunately, he was murdered by the aborigines of northern Andaman Islands and his all collections from Tenasserim and Andaman Islands got mixed up causing much confusion about the geographical origin of the botanical collections.
 Hence the locality of all herbarium collections made by Helfer have been designated as Tenasserim/Andaman Islands.
 Exact occurrence of several collections made by Helfer was later reconfirmed by other botanists during their explorations.
 One of his collections deposited at Central National Herbarium, Howrah (CAL) designated the locality as Tenasserim/Andaman Islands was "Piper ribesioides"; however, the occurrence of this species in Andaman Islands was doubted until its rediscovery in 1990 by Mathew and Abraham.
 This woody climbing liana is evidently rare in the Andaman Islands.
 Living accessions of this rare insular species from the Andaman Islands is conserved at the Field Gene Bank of Jawharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute, Trivandrum, South India.
Andaman district was a district of India, one of three districts in the Indian Union Territory (UT) of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
 The district's administrative territory encompasses all of the Andaman Islands, which are located in the Indian Ocean (Bay of Bengal, bordering with the Andaman Sea).
 The district government is headed by a Deputy Commissioner, who in turn reports into the Lt. Governor of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
The Sentinelese (also called the Sentineli or North Sentinel Islanders) are the indigenous people of North Sentinel Island in the Andaman Islands of India.
 One of the Andamanese peoples, they resist contact with the outside world, and are among the last people to remain virtually untouched and uncontacted by modern civilisation.

Question: The Andaman Islands are home to which peoples, including the sentinelese?
Answer: Andamanese peoples
