In this thread: Armcharl anthropologists.

I have read every reply and found them, for the most part, to be interesting. I'd also be interested in your opinion on the article.

The article is right except for the last two paragraphs. The end of the article is silly in that: 1) It talks like there was one monolithic American Native culture 2) It states that Native Americans never evolved beyond "stone age" technology 3) It goes out of its way to claim that it is somehow the Native's fault that smallpox got spread around when just got done making an excellent case that there was no fault to pin on anyone because no one understood how disease was transmitted back then. The article is right on that Columbus gets the shaft these days, and I share in the author's hope that CC bashing will fall out of style and that he will be restored to his rightful place in the history of the Western Hemisphere. Finally, my first post was aimed at all the old farts on here who think they are clever when they post "Moar proof white people are the best, LOL" then proceed to make jackasses of themselves by demonstrating how much they sort of know (but not really). I was trying to predict a tide of such posts, but it turns out the thread died before too many accumulated. Aw well. :p
