Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted December 9, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 9, 2016 Just now, Anler said: Thats what the "experts" say... Historian David Henige has argued that many population figures are the result of arbitrary formulas selectively applied to numbers from unreliable historical sources. He believes this is a weakness unrecognized by several contributors to the field, and insists there is not sufficient evidence to produce population numbers that have any real meaning. He characterizes the modern trend of high estimates as "pseudo-scientific number-crunching." Henige does not advocate a low population estimate, but argues that the scanty and unreliable nature of the evidence renders broad estimates inevitably suspect, saying "high counters" (as he calls them) have been particularly flagrant in their misuse of sources.[14] Many population studies acknowledge the inherent difficulties in producing reliable statistics, given the scarcity of hard data Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted December 9, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) The Aboriginal population of Canada during the late 15th century is estimated to have been between 200,000[10] and two million,[11] with a figure of 500,000 currently accepted by Canada's Royal Commission on Aboriginal Health.[12] 500,000 in Canada but 100,000,000 in the US and that's just the ones that were killed. Fuck Anler please tell me you have more common sense than this. They don't think Europe had 100 million people in 1500.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted December 9, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 9, 2016 We probably can't get the current population (with illegals) to within anything closer than about +/-5% yet we think we know how many people were around and died 500 years ago. You guys crack me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motonoggin Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 If the argument is who killed less people, and you're in the millions, I think you're kind of having the wrong argument. Just sayin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin I think the point is it shouldn't be in the millions. Doesn't take away from the fact that how we treated Native American's was and will always be a scar on this great countries history. Nobody is claiming America has not had its share of faults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
