So we've established, then, that at least some traditions of the Urvolk 
were downright nutty.  And you were so busy crowing about the

P. S. - Hunter-gatherer societies don't accumulate excess population, so 
human sacrifice tends to occur in nascent agricultural societies, 
because they haven't yet found a systematic cultural mechanism for 
dealing with overpopulation.
