Perhaps. They became warlike after they got European guns  That's another
subject altogether I suppose - serves me right for taking anthropology to get away from science at school!

the object of his search.
I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor.”

Oh, forgive me, I thought it was from the start... Though I only read one book and that was maybe 8 yrs ago now so likely I misremembered... much like
hilary clinton...!

I think kinetic was joking. The Maoris were war-like the entire 400yrs they lived in aotearoa prior to arrival of the pakeha. The tribes constantly
warred, they practiced cannibalism - an aspect of which was the chief of the victorious tribe eating the penis of the chief he had just defeated - so
he can assume his manhood.
They annihilated the Moriori who lived there before their arrival.

I believe in some ancient cultures it was the defeated's brain the victor consumed.
I would have gone for the two to get the best of both worlds. . .

I was and wasn't joking. They were definitely warlike, but like many other indigenous cultures - their customs and ferocity were often exaggerated. It
made for great commerce in buying their heads 
Hmm, Moriori. So many conflicting theories. Most agree that they were treated pretty brutally though
Now, back to eating my failed sugar wax...

Check out this strange problem here http://forum.50webs.com/viewtopic.php?t=12100
It might have something to do with the Great Firewall of Britain.
