It’s hard not to respond with hostility when the citation provided is Keely (1996) War Before Civilization: The Myth of the Peaceful Savage (you know it’s gonna be racist shit), using a word for the mob that live there that’s about half a century out of date.
Have you read those sources?
Have you wondered to yourself how a white Brit in the 1930s estimated the number of deaths in a small part of Northern Australia, and have you then wondered how that’s relevant to 60,000 years of living in a contact because the Europeans came and almost wiped everyone already there out?
Anyway I’m downloading Warner’s 1937 book so I’ll reply again to shit on it.
