You think people (and I'm not just talking about native americans) had garbage prior to the 1700's? Yes indeed they did but not nearly to the scale that we have today... lol
That wasn't the OP's question, although it appeared to leave room for a wide discussion...
I'll rephrase somewhat: So would I as an atheist and an alien to another planet risk my life to save another culture?
I think that history shows that both theists and a-theists havew done it time and time again here on Earth. Living in jungles, and etc. risking the wrath of the natives not to mention disease for both altruistic and non-altruistic reasons... mostly of course non-altruistic reasons.
Altruism has been challenged many times as nothing more than a theory... but when you give your life is that the exception?
