Heya Welcome... hate to disillusion anyone, but I'm reading more and more theory that a lot of the late pleistocene mammals may no longer be with us because they were hunted to extinction on the North American continent by guess who? My distant ancestors used to do mass drives of longhorned bison over cliffs because it was easiest... and I doubt that everything got used. And there's a couple of Texas tribes that were exterminated by their neighbors long before the whites crossed over. Apaches and Iroquians considered hideous torture an artform. I'm afraid that the myth of the noble savage is just that - a myth.
