GB,
England was deforested centuries ago. Europe had congregated into cities many centuries ago. Population density in Europe drove their culture. They applied themselves differently because they developed and lived differently.
Feel free do do so, but I cannot ascribe to the idea that it is was all innate.
Natives came from the Asian far east a long time ago, the cradle of many great societies, scientific and civic discoveries.
To think they lost that intelligence as they crossed the land bridge seems silly. They lost the drive, because they enjoyed the life nature provided.
Just to put a couple ornaments on the tree.
Anthropologist generally agree that the Americas were populated by humans some 20,000 years ago. At a time when Asia and North America were connected by a land bridge - the Bering Straits. Those humans have been shown by DNA mapping in many separate studies to be Mongoloid. Basically Chinese to put it crudely.
I agree, it is far fetched to think they could deteriorate in a mere 10 to 20 thousand years. In fact, to transverse North America and build the civic masterpieces of mankind that they did along the Yucatan peninsula is testimony that they still had the mojo.
