Abstract

According to Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas, the indigenous population went from stories (that is, millions) to hundreds, that is, it was decimated at the rate not of one in ten but of 999,900 out of a million. Something similar had not been seen in the history of mankind, so much so that some (eg Constantino Láscaris, see his essay on de Las Casas in ACADEMIC ACT of October 1992), despite how much he respects the friar, calls him "the greatest liar in history." There is no such.
