The title is clickbait but the article itself is highly informative and interesting to read. Highly recommend it.

Corn, beans and squash. Everyday. Oh, you have to grow it and harvest it without tractors. Caloric balance achieved!

And a layer of tropical diseases/parasites would also help churn through calories. They may have been in better shape but few sane people would claim they lived any longer than us.

Not sure if it's 100% clickbait, there is some really interesting stuff I didn't know.

Also it makes me realize that all indigenous peoples across what you call the Americas have been/are being subjected to all kinds of discrimination and systematic extermination, from North America all the way to the island of Tierra del Fuego, and of course here in Colombia. We all try to hide our own past for some reason and feel ashamed of it while ignoring the spaniard/european culture and beliefs they brought there have huge flaws compared to what was already here for thousands of years.
