"The inhabitants were savage and cruel to one another, they hadn't a common language, writing or the wheel."
Every nation on earth was cruel to one another.... slavery, witch burning, cannabalism. They didn't have a common language either.
And Aboriginals had no need for a wheel. Their stone implements and spears were all that was required to live.
Oh and I will tell you some other things they didnt have before white man arrived. Influenza, alcoholism, Typhoid, measles, STDs, smallpox, Tuberculosis. And something called TAXATION.
My view on different races and different ages is "were they happy and contented with their life". If so then who gives a damn if they didnt have a wheelbarrow.
