That's not contentious at all. Been the standard view for decades. The overwhelming and dead-obvious archaeological evidence is beyond dispute. It was obvious that North America at least was relatively densely populated since de Vaca and de Soto, for crying out loud. Cahokia, the Anasazi, the Hopewell culture, all point to mass life and social complexity far beyond just hunter-gatherers. Cahokia was larger than London or Paris at its height. And the noble savage garbage has never been a fashion amongst anthropologists, just wacky French Romantic philosophers. Good to see the media has caught up. Hope they don't think this is ground breaking news. Derek

LOL! Now I understand better where you are coming from... reuters.com Chirac was hardly more restrained, hinting darkly in an interview at Jospin's past as a secret Trotskyite militant and describing a renewed wave of sleaze charges against himself as "the methods of extremists and fascists."

It is a shame that 95% of the American Indians died of unfamiliar diseases. Of course, the European settlers did not intend to have unfamiliar diseases; so this is an "accident" of separate peoples encountering each other. A shame, yes. Genocide? No. Of course, there was a later genocide of the remaining Indians by Europeans, and this is to be condemned in the strongest terms, just as right-thinking people condemn the Islamofascist genocides that ranged from Spain to China.
