Amazing ...
Over the centuries, more Indians were killed by other tribes than the Europeans ever did.
Oh, dear - those Naughty Europeans.
Again.

Same extinction model for Neaderthals?
Thanks for posting that!
In another venue, these very same scientists and anthropologists would be lecturing us on how species evolved through natural selection. The end effect of this, we are told, is that it is a natural process for species that are more suitable to fit into the environmental niche will survive and species that are less suited will die out.
Of course, we must never apply this to humanity, lest we are guilty of some -ism, like race-ism or cultural-ism. Along those lines, we will never be allowed to suggest that maybe the indigenous peoples should have adopted the culture of the Europeans. Instead the subtle theme will be that the indigenous peoples are victims who by their victim status and culture are somehow noble and really deserving of honor and even compensation.
We will also be forbidden to mention any wars of conquest that took place over the centuries among the indigenous peoples before they were overwhelmed by Europeans. Adhering to the meme that Europeans are always evil and indigenous peoples are always noble means that no amount of mass murder they imposed upon each other can possibly be worth mentioning.
And thus liberals (er, now “progressives”) show us how much they suffer from self-loathing.
