First you are not talking about subsistence farmers, you are talking
about
hunter gatherers. At that level of technology Europe might just have a
population of a million, or less, but by definition you would never know
because you would never meet anyone you didn't walk to meet

No I was talking about the people who used to live in the rich and
variegated farmland called the Wild West when it was still the wild east
too. You are the one who insisted on categorising my original words. As
for health and etc, you don't need an archaeological survey to realize
the error in your concept.

Which particular bit do you mean because most of the plains Indians were
hunter gatherers. Further south and into central America they were farmers
but by definition they weren't subsistence farmers because their society
could fund cities and pyramids.
There has also been some very interesting work done on over cropping,
drought and climate in that area


Despite a National Health Service that has consumed billions of pounds
and occupied some great minds and produced great medicines most of which
came directly from savages and witches etc; the health of this nation is
not exactly marvelous is it? Or would a mass exhumation of any modern
cemetery here not reveal that some people suffered with arthritis.

I suggest that you check life expectancy over the years

Note if you are so keen, just buy the land and shun the NHS


Get a life fool.

And also realise that when you resort to insult you just display your own
true level of competence.
