To anyone who wishes to argue that the success of one civilisation or culture over another comes down to nothing other than the character attributes or relative intelligence of those peoples, read Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond .

I thought hunter-gatherers were generally regarded as less violent than settled societies? To be fair, my recollection is that it's the horticulturalists and cattle-herders who are the worst. But yeah, even hunter-gatherers still worse than later, civilised agriculturalists. It seems anthropologist...

IMHO, if people put their focus into it, we could have herds of tame bison & less jittery, 600+ lb llamas within 3-4 generations. Nah. Llamas have been domesticated for 5500 years, and it doesn't take modern technology to breed animals. If it was easy to breed rideable llamas, it would have been do...
