I note that almost all articles about South and Central American Paleo Indians omit that they were largely characterized by cannibalism, human sacrifice, slavery, rape of captured women and children, and using human heads as soccer balls. The PCing of anthropology.

Well, if you buy into the PC, then you can go ahead and join the "all cultures are equal and relevant to me" club.

Or we can make the other choice and wonder why this is a universal great story and relevant to modern civilization in any way.

I do notice that the clueless are already blaming the "nasty Europeans" for introducing the means to exterminate them --- without an iota of supporting evidence, as usual.
