Why do you believe the lower estimates? Not arguing, because I really don't know. I wouldn't be surprised at any number over 20 million.

Even though Native Americans never discovered the wheel or invented writing, their technologies made beautiful use of every resource available to them. That does not mean they didn't waste large quantities of that which they could not use, but they used every kind of thing.

They made fires with cottonwood fluff and hunting bows with mountain sheep horn.

One wonders how that society would have developed if Europeans had not come on the scene. No doubt they would eventually invent science, the wheel, written language, and so forth. If that happened, then I would expect a similar result in due time.
