Uncovering the Truth About America's Pre-Colonial History - Charles Mann, 1491

Charles Mann is a historian, journalist, and author known for
groundbreaking non-fiction books. He was the first to challenge
the traditional view of Americas before European contact, arguing
that indigenous populations were much more advanced and populous
than previously believed. Mann suggests that when colonists
arrived, they encountered a native population that was already in
decline due to various epidemics. By rewriting entrenched
histories to more accurately reflect the past we gain a clearer
understanding of the present and a better sense of what the
future holds. In this interview we explore topics such as the
resurgence of the buffalo, the sovereignty of conquered nations,
and the conspiracy of fire.
