I'm currently reading this book:

http://www.amazon.com/1491-Revelatio.../dp/140004006X

While I'm just getting started, one thing is clear: there were millions and millions of inhabitants in the Western Hemisphere and virtually the entire face of the land was covered; particuarly below the Rio Grande prior to the Conquistadors beginning their handiwork. They are clearing land in Bolivia and Brazil that is virtually uninhabited now that turns out to be full of canals, mounds and other infrastructure which was used to support hundreds of thousands of people. Who knows what else has yet to be discovered?

Multiple cities have been comfortably estimated to have had over 100,000 inhabitants.

So theoretically, there could have easily been one or more wars that involved hundreds of thousands of people.

I honestly don't know where I weigh in on the limited geography theory or any other theories.
