As I've pointed out previously, prominent scientists now deride depictions of pre-state people as peaceful. "Contra leftist anthropologists who celebrate the noble savage," the Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker wrote in 2007, "quantitative body counts—such as the proportion of prehistoric skeletons with ax marks and embedded arrowheads or the proportion of men in a contemporary foraging tribe who die at the hands of other men—suggest that pre-state societies were far more violent than our own." According to Pinker, the 17th-century philosopher Thomas Hobbes "got it right" when he called pre-state life a "war of all against all."

Fake news. Who cares what Steven Pinker wrote?

"If six nations of ignorant savages should be capable of forming such a union, and yet it has subsisted for ages and appears indissolvable, and yet a like union should be impractical for 10 or a dozen English colonies.''

- Benjamin Franklin

They dig up bodies with clear evidence of death from violence (war) and you call it fake news.

You don't believe in science? Scientific American writes fake news? Exactly what are you claiming here?

It says NOTHING of the Iroquois Confederacy.

How the hell do you know what they had a concept of?


Yep. They were here before the invaders "settlers" came.

Invaders came here before more invaders came. Sucks to suck.

Listening to people bitch about white devils taking over America.... it’s like listening to a tweaker complain that someone just stole their stolen drugs.

It matter not who came here first.
What counts is who remains today.
