Native Americans even amount to anything?

Completing the Anthropocene hundreds of years early, possibly.

They really just got fucked over by the weather and other stuff a lot.

>>1476254
Constantly warring with other tribes, a little rape and pillage here, a little ransom there. The White man showed them total warfare.

>>1476254
The geography of the Americas doesn't particularly favor communication between the various civilizations. An Aztec would have to cross a ridiculous amount of natural barriers to get to the Incas or Cahokia. They also had no real beasts of burden like in Eurasia, so they were never able to farm efficiently or invent the wheel.

Native Americans were cucked hard by Mother Nature.

Mesoamerican civilizations were pretty cool.

Boy, this doesn't sound like an agenda at all. I'm sure we can trust everything said here without scrutiny whatsoever.

It's by Diego Rivera, one of the most celebrated Mexican muralists. It's a detail of a larger mural, the pictured figures are darker because they're in the background.

Unrelated question, how does Mexicans generally defend priding themselves as the heirs of the old Indigenous people while oppressing the shit out of the indigenous people that still exist?

>>1476997

don't know, you'd have to ask them.

I'd assume they could justify it by claiming most of them are of majority European ancestry, which is largely true.

They consider themselves Mestizos mostly. Pure indian are considered dumb or at least very provincian and uncultured. Pure Criollos are considered fresas or snobs. The darker/prieto you are the worse you are considered at first glance,unless you have power or money, than is what really counts in Latin american countries.

Did the NA try to domesticate their bisons? It certainly would've helped them a lot if they did.

Would it? Natural populations were super abundant and easy to hunt.

>>1477794
not a single tribe on the continent had discovered iron and even primitive copper tools were limited to couple peoples from south- and mesoamerica and that has nothing to do with video games.

the Mexica had discovered copper smelting just 700 years before the Spanish arrived. It took thousands of years for people in the Old World to make the leap from what were essentially pottery kilns for copper to bloomeries capable of smelting iron. It'd be pretty phenomenal for a civilization that had been around for about as long as Uruk period Sumer to suddenly develop iron working in such a short span of time.

Holy shit, your post is a mess.

>>1477740

there were 30-60 million bison living in North America circa 1500. There were bewteen 7 and 18 million humans in North America at the same time.

There was no need to domesticate them, they had more meat than they knew what to do with. They would run them off of cliffs by the hundreds and only take their pelts and best cuts of meat because there were so many. Similarly in California the majority of Indians never needed to develop agriculture or pottery because there was just so much food all year-round that growing it and storing it for later was unnecessary.

>>1476997
Well, aztecas did the same thing to other indigenous people so ... why not continue the tradition?
