Does any one know any good sources for population statistics for South American countries preferably translated into English ?
What do you mean by consistent?1491 by Charles Mann propose some numbers for immediate pre-Columbine populations, which are significanty higher than previously given, and there's a trend that argues that it might have been lower than he advences in some region. Still, it's more consistent than many guesstimates made in the XXth century.
Sorry, gallicism, more coherent.What do you mean by consistent?
Now I'm even less sure of what you mean.Sorry, gallicism, more coherent.
Relative to archeological finds.Now I'm even less sure of what you mean.You mean that the population figures for each regions makes sense relative to one another(so the Inca and Mesoamerica are not too underpopulated but North America not too populated or something like that?)
Doesn't Mann give a 100 million figure? That seems exaggerated to me, anyway I think "consistent" is a good word for what you mean as well.Relative to archeological finds.
If ylu tras his esay the 100i million figures is on The Low end, here my post With The sources.Doesn't Mann give a 100 million figure? That seems exaggerated to me, anyway I think "consistent" is a good word for what you mean as well.
I´m follower of the Theories of Charles Mann both their Book and essay 1491

and all the investigation born from his thesis, but I let you explore
also recomend:
Their Numbers Become Thinned (1983) By H. F. Dobyns. one of the most popular Higher counter
Numbers from Nowhere: The American Indian Contact Population Debate By David Henige, he is against the Higher count crowd (like myself) but is a really comprehensive study about the thesis and a excellent reference book (90 pages of bibliography alone)
He still propose a number of 100.000.000 inhabitants in all the Americas, that i find better than before (10.000.000 for ALL the Americas), but that probably could be push upside some more
In what years? Because depending on The years You want I could dig some sourcesDoes any one know any good sources for population statistics for South American countries preferably translated into English ?
