Why Human Hunting? COLONIZATION the British Way.

Описание: Tasmania. An island the size of Ireland. Completely cut off from the rest of humanity for 10,000 years. Nine distinct nations. 40,000 years of unbroken cultural continuity.
It took just 73 years to erase it all.
This is not a story about "the extinction of a primitive race." This is the story of how you delete a nation. Methodically. Bureaucratically. Fully documented.
On May 3, 1804, surgeon Jacob Mountgarrett writes a letter to the chaplain. He invites him for dinner. He also asks him to baptize a two-year-old boy. Because, as he writes, "unfortunately, his father and mother have both departed." For dessert, he proposes a dissection of an adult male body.
That letter exists. It sits in an archive. And it marks the beginning of a history the world preferred to ignore for 150 years.
This is true history. Based on original sources. A full documentary audiobook about one of the darkest chapters in colonial history.
