        The native people of the North American Continent killed more
stuff then I can remember.  They really overhunted.  Technically speaking,
though, they were not hunter-gatherers.  (Maybe some were, but not most).
My actual training in American History is Eurocentric before the Civil War
(Setler culture) and aboriginal from the Daws act onward.  (1888, if I
remember right).

        Similer things may have happened in Africa and North Asia, but I
cannot remember.  Europeans overhunted prey animals.  As a Celtic I cannot
claim innocents either.  After all, when was the last time you saw a
Unicorn?

And anyway, my meals are Mobius Strips, not polygonal.
