OK, Ol' Chris didn't find NORTH America, which is the half-continent within our oeuvre.  But you can't talk about them 'Mercan Indians without him - he was an important trendsetter in the new world and stands for important and recognizable principles, like greed, lust and hubris.  As bright and intelligent as he indubitably was, he was also, as my granny from central Kentucky might have remarked, "touched."  Tune in - we got several episodes on Columbus, the Caribbean and Conflict!

Episode 5 - Christopher Columbus - The Genoese That Tried to Please (or at least get rich and famous)

Exploring the history of European and Native American contacts - 1003 to 1890. A new podcast and other web-based materials, based upon the product of your humble author's research of actual historians, archeologists, anthropologists, geneticists, and others.  Some of this stuff comes from legends, oral histories of Native and European civilizations, scientific analysis of genetic populations, anthropological and archeological references, written history and of course our own speculation as to human nature, common sense and our experience.  All of this in context, we hope.
