you have simplified everything to some weird conclusion. that has little meaning and makes no sense at all. history is facts that have been heavily reviewed and discussed. by experts unlike the Russian connection.

I don't think they were stupid and didn't get rid of tribalism was in that discussion, okay? I just lost a lot of respect for your intellect, I was always kidding before, you know yanking your chain... now I'm not so sure
You are missing the point.. American Indians, Africans, Mayans all failed to move past tribalism and therefore lacked any significant gains in post stone age technology. They were all conquered by more advanced civilizations.. aka Europeans..

It wasn't because they were dumb, it was because their society lacked a need or want to move on past the stone age and remained as tribal groups who were conquered by those who made advances past that tribal mentally.
