Some of you say that the native american culture is better than ours because they didn't pollute, mass murder, etc. I would disagree with this. When white man first found native peoples, they were not as advanced. This is because white tribes settled down into stationary colonies at a earlier period of time than the native americans. The natives, for a much longer period of time, lived as nomads, and the nomadic culture leaves little room for a high rate of innovation. Early white tribes had nature-oriented, mainstream-moral beliefs as well. However, you will notice that Europe and Asia is much closer to Africa, as far as linked land goes, than North and South America. I believe that if the native tribes were left to themselves for a longer period of time, they would end up much like us. They're no different than we are, save in physical appearance.
