The upper estimates are around 90%. It's likely lower. But even an order of magnitude like that is not "wiped out". Millions of people still lived on the land
My brother if there had a hundred people in your town you lost 70 to 90% of your people and then there were only 25 to 11 of you left alive I'd say your group was obliterated. I do not argue that there were still millions of natives left alive, but there were roughly 60 to 100 million natives prior to the first explorers arriving.
Cool so you are saying millions of people aren't worth consideration. And I'm not your brother
I have never said this. It's nice to know that you have a vivid imagination. Maybe you can use that big imagination to tell Putin a nice story and he can start to care about the ukranians.
