Why are the Indians so backward materially

It is now generally believed that inter-tribal belligerence and the frequent use of human sacrifices were the main reasons for the long-term backwardness of the Indians. The main reasons are that the severe population decline has led to low productivity, slow social evolution, and a belligerent environment that is not conducive to a stable sedentary life and a transition from nomadic herding to an agrarian society.

The historical opportunity has not caught up, it is difficult for a single nation to stand out alone, and the only advanced civilizations in history that can develop advanced civilizations by themselves are the Greco-Roman civilization in the West and the Chinese civilization in the East (the current Eastern and Western civilizations are also the inheritance of these two civilizations, plus a Persian-Arab civilization, but the rise of the Arab Empire is inseparable from the influence of the East and the West at the same time), and the rest will rely on exchange and integration, in fact, the Indian civilization should have also developed to the extent of ancient Egypt or ancient Babylon, But there is a lack of communication and integration, so it is normal to get into a standstill.

In the case of the Spanish conquistadors, Spain might not have been as good as the Maya if it weren't for the Roman Empire.

They were Indians all over the continent and had no currency. They don't have anything to do with it**, North America sells less wool mines, North America is so big, near the 5 major lakes to South America, I think it will take half a year. They want to survive because who knows the Europeans will come.

Asia, Europe, and Africa are another continent, with different peoples, rich in minerals, selling silk, **. Every country has something different, and the Indians also have it but don't learn it, and one nation passes it on. The Indians didn't invade, so there was no cultural exchange.

Closed, no communication with the outside world, no channels to the outside world, the most basic roads, cars, not to mention information tools. No communication, of course, lags behind. The land is vast and there must be someone who understands development.

It is said that the ancestors of the Indians (the Maya) recognized early on that the development of material technology would eventually destroy mankind, so they warned future generations not to pursue too much materialism.

Probably because there is little iron ore or it is not easy to dig, I have never seen a good steel knife.

When Columbus went, the Indians used ** utensils... The golden sword.

A nation has a national way of life, accustomed to traditions!

Reform takes a lot of effort!

Especially to such primitive tribal peoples.

Environmental issues! There are many such places in China as well! Not that all Indians are like that.

Because they are close to each other, their brains are 250 years old.

Dude, do you know what it means to pursue spiritual civilization?

There is actually a very "accidental" reason why the South American Indians did not develop:

For some reason, they were never able to develop a metallurgical industry, and they did not master the technology of smelting metals other than gold and silver, which were destined to become the ...... of metal materials (such as iron and copper) that promoted the progress of productivity because of their soft nature

This "accident" should be said to be related to their relatively closed environment, and their lack of communication with other civilizations. It is not uncommon in human history for civilizations to lack some kind of necessary technology, but civilizations on other continents have often made up for their shortcomings through clashes and exchanges of civilizations. There were three major civilizations that emerged before and after the American Indians, namely the Maya, the Aztecs, and the Incas.

But the Aztecs and Maya were too close and influenced each other too much, and what they lacked together naturally could not be compensated; And the Incas were too far away from them, and in addition, they were not perfectly synchronized in time. They were too advanced compared to the surrounding Indians......

The fact that the American ancestors did not have the technology to smelt copper and iron is also related to the fact that they had too rich and easily exploited mineral resources, especially gold and silver. We know that the original purpose of metallurgy in primitive societies was not for production, but because of "good looks", and ore first appeared as an ornament. With an abundance of the best decorative metals (gold and silver) and an abundance of precious stones, it seems that there is no more need to explore the ...... of other oresPersonally, I think this is probably the reason why the Indian civilization did not develop a metallurgical industry.

In addition to the metallurgical industry, the necessary technologies for civilization to promote the development of the productive forces of society are animal power, the most important of which is horses. However, there are no equine ...... in the AmericasThe herds of wild horses that later galloped across the North American prairies were brought by European colonists.

The main reason is the geographical environment, because they are located on a closed continent and lack of interaction with other civilizations. The same is true of the indigenous inhabitants of Australia, who live in an environment surrounded by the sea and far from other continents, and are not able to communicate with other civilizations, resulting in very slow progress in the level of civilization.

In ancient times, the world's most developed Asia, Europe, and North Africa, although many places are not very connected, but there are channels that can be contacted, such as the Silk Road on land and sea, Genghis Khan's expedition, etc., all of which provide convenience for civilizations to learn from each other, such as China transmitted the four major inventions to Arabia and Europe, and the Arabs learned a lot of knowledge from the ancient Greek classics, the car may have first appeared in ancient Babylon, and China's ancient carriage may have been transmitted from West Asia.

Indians and Chinese are similar because they belong to a branch of the race.

The Indians are an American branch of the race, and the Chinese are also a branch of the race, so the Indians and the Chinese look alike.

The Paleo-Indians also worshipped the dragon totem, and in the Paleo-Indian murals, archaeologists have found a large number of dragon-like stone carvings. The legend of the tengu eating the moon is passed on by word of mouth in the Indian ethnic group, as well as the flood story (the name of the person is different) that is very similar to Dayu's water control.

In 1953, on the Indian bird-shaped crown on the wall of the Kefan ruins unearthed in the Americas, a Taiji diagram was found.

In addition, anthropologists have found 84 Yin Shang oracle bone or Chinese hieroglyphic remains on rock faces in Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, and Nevada.

Indian is a general term for all Native Americans except the Eskimos. The vast majority of the Native Americans were Indians, but due to differences in language, beliefs, customs, and lifestyles, Indians were divided into many different tribes.

The ancestors of American Indians were Asians, and Asians entered the American continent from Alaska 40,000 and 18,000 years ago through the "land bridge" of the Bering Strait. Geologists have determined that during the Ice Age (7-10,000 BC), northeastern Asia was connected by land bridges to northwestern America.

Indians deserve sympathy. After the end of the long anti-slavery campaign, its efforts were no different from anything that humanitarians in any of Europe's colonial countries had done or wanted to do. Policy towards the Indians was at least considered an issue and was raised for public debate.

Despite the limited ideas on the issue and the distorted results, it was one of the few serious debates in the history of the Empire.

There is a saying that in the late Shang period, King Wu of Zhou crusaded against the king of Shang, and at the same time, the 100,000 troops of the king of Shang went on an expedition to Dongyi at the same time, because Yin Shang was destroyed by King Wu of Zhou, so the 100,000 troops were at a loss all of a sudden, and fled in the wilderness, so they migrated north through the Baixu Warrant Strait and ran into the Americas, and the 100,000 army became the descendants of the Qingyuyan of the Indians, and the reason why the Indians called "Indian" actually refers to "Yin", which is converted from transliteration.

Native Americans: American Indian is a collective term for all Native Americans except the Inuit (also known as Eskimos), and does not refer to a single nation or race. Indians are found in the countries of South and North America.

They speak hundreds of languages, commonly known collectively as Indian or Native American languages. There is no accepted classification of the Indians' ethnic groups and their linguistic divisions.
