I don't know how it reads in the German translation, but if you check 
the original English, HPB first refers to the Tasmanians as being 
completely dead in the strictly physical sense, which they were, then 
says the Australian aborigines were "rapidly dying out." This 
clearly refers to their imminent physical demise, and yet they are 
still wuth us.

You have the right to argue that the editorial committee screwed the 
MS up, but that is a dangerous door to open because it brings into 
question the integrity of the rest of the book as well as the 
committee left it to us. If rhey distorted HPB's ideas in one place, 
then what assurance do we have that any other part of it is correct?

I am not sure of your point. There are countries all over the world 
which are producing zero in the way of intellectual property. Why 
would you want to single out Australia? I am not clear what you are 
getting at here. I am anyway under the impression that some serious 
research is going on in Australia, especially in the medical field, 
although I do not know to what extent aborigines are contributing or 
involved.
