"they regarded the Stone Age inhabitants as animals and hunted them"
I try to be reasonably open-minded about these things, but I can't for the life of me see why anyone would think that they weren't animals. Living a hunter-gatherer existence is little better than cattle or dog-packs, and certainly not significantly different from species of ape that we don't class as human. I'm probably a bad person, but I don't see the big deal about taking land from primitives, regardless of what continent it is. It is the way of the world.
