So… it turns out that the “native Americans” that European settlers drove from their “ancestral homes” in coordinated “genocidal attacks” essentially stole North and South America from the previous “native Americans” who appear to have been more or less entirely wiped out by the invading noble savages.
The ancient people who have long been thought to be the first humans to colonise North America were actually johnny-come-latelies, according to scientists who have comprehesively analysed the ancient fossilised poo of their predecessor Americans.
The new revelations come to us courtesy of Copenhagen university, where some of the investigating boffins are based. The scientists say that their results demonstrate conclusively their somewhat controversial thesis: that the “Clovis” culture dating from around 13,000 years ago – which has long been thought to be the earliest human society in the Americas – was actually preceded by human habitation at the Paisley caves in Oregon.
This is what the Clinton administration was actively trying to hide when they aggressively shut down access to archaeological sites in Oregon almost twenty years ago. This doesn’t surprise me, of course, and I fully expect that the pre-Clovis natives who were wiped out by the Clovis culture had no doubt done the same to the humans who preceded them.
That’s sort of what humans did all around the world right up through the renaissance. That’s the “normal” human behavior that has driven human culture for the past million years.
People don’t like to hear that, but that’s the way it was.
If you want to know what the world was like ten thousand years ago, watch “Conan the Barbarian”. That’s pretty accurate actually.

Heh, I suspected someone would make a comment like that.
OK, take away the magic stuff. But the raping, pillaging, enslaving and gratuitous murder is exactly how people lived back then.
It was common practice well into the middle ages to promise soldiers the free reign to rape and murder whoever they wanted upon successfully defeating the enemy. It was not uncommon for armies to systematically execute every man and boy above the age of 12. Entire nations were wiped out, their men killed and their women enslaved for sexual purposes. That’s just how it was done. It really amazes me sometimes how people romanticize the past. The Lakota tribe of North/South Dakota was feared throughout the great plains for their vicious torture of their prisoners. Torture they did for entertainment purposes.
Humans are a pretty violent bunch.
I read a book recently called ’1492′ that discussed the Clovis culture and the clear fact the ‘noble savages’ that are so frequently admired and lauded by those on the left are not only NOT indigenous to the Americas, but also responsible for displacing those that were present when they arrived from Siberia (and other places). It’s also known now that ‘natives’ went to great lengths to modify their environment (rather like Europeans did) including the razing of vast expanses of forests.
I may need to check that book out. I had thought that by 1492 the Clovis culture had long disappeared. If the book was discussing Clovis culture it must have been investigating the long-term pre-history of North America for some reason.
There is still great debate about how long ago “homo sapiens” first appeared, but even the most conservative estimates now put that well over 100,000 years ago. Let’s just go with 100,000 years. That means that stone age cultures existed on the planet for tens of thousands of years. Those cultures lived and fought just as stone age cultures were doing right up to the turn of the last century. That means genocidal warfare, slavery, murder, torture… all of that stuff was common, expected and in many cases celebrated.
The veneer of civilization is very thin. And very recent.
Oops…I think the title of the book is ’1491′ and it’s written by Charles Mann. It is indeed about the long-term pre-history of the Americas prior to the arrival of Columbus. I got the sense that Mann is a committed leftie, but he didn’t seem to be afraid to tell at least some of the truth about the ancient inhabitants of both North and South America.
We haven’t a CLUE as to how long Man has been around or how/when we rose to sentience. All we can be certain of, at this point, is that the more we discover, the more wrong we should realize that earlier conclusions were wrong.
Well, I think we have a clue, and I think that some of our earlier conclusions are still fine. Where we go wrong, I think, is when we claim to know things that should clearly be in the range of supposition.
