J.A. Roberts, I think you should understand that the article describes the history of discovery! Or do you prefer to deny in general the value of the Age of Discovery (also known as the Age of Exploration) too? Your criticism is aboslutely matterless. It shows your superficialism and unsuccessful itch of originality.

When the Spanish discovered America and the Dutch Australia there were ALREADY people there.
