Answer 1

Europe is smaller than places with uncontacted tribes. There aren’t thick jungles or far away islands that separate tribes from the major populace. Most tribes were integrated into mainstream European cultures long before modern times. The only remaining notable indigenous people in Europe are the Sami, and they’ve been contacted.
