Citation needed for those tiny populations dancing on the edge of perpetual starvation. Look, I’m the first one to get in line to skewer people appealing to the “myth of the noble savage” to argue that all was wonderful before the big bad imperialist white people showed up, but I’m also equally skeptical of anyone who makes a claim without evidence that without “modern” technology or methods some peoples would be languishing in a world of starvation and sadness. It’s entirely possible that without what we consider “modern” methods, some people actually were getting on just fine.
