No war? They killed, raped and enslaved each other like it was going out of style. The settlers did the continent a service by culling most of them.That’s okay. No politicians, no war, no government tyranny, fresh food every day, and naked women all around and all working together as a team. Way better life style.???That’s true. They had a nice comfortable life style......with the hunter-gatherer culture, you can't have as much time/$$/effort/etc for arts/advancement in many categories including education-medicine-technology-etcToo bad the Indians lost.Well, it depends on which Indians we are talking about. They can't all be lumped together. There was a huge difference for example between the Iriquois Nation and the Comanche for one. One group was very well organized and was able to make peace and trade with others, while the other group was brutally savage preying on everyone around them whether they be other tribes, Mexicans, Spaniards or Texans, giving little interest to outside relations and seemed to enjoy inflicting torture.
Civilization ain’t that great. I tend to think living as hunter gathers was a nice life style. Far better than allowing criminals control of society, who then murder, rape, and destroy. The history of civilization is ugly.
The belief that the hunter gather life was harsh and short, is entirely bogus. Without criminal politicians they likely had it pretty good.
Very good book on the subject. It will open your eyes.
