::::''It might be accurately said that Truganini's numerous personal sufferings typify the tragedy of the Black people of Tasmania as a whole.  She was the very last.  "Don't let them cut me up," she begged the doctor as she lay dying.  After her burial, Truganini's body was exhumed, and her skeleton, strung upon wires and placed upright in a box, became for many years the most popular exhibit in the Tasmanian Museum and remained on display until 1947.  Finally, in 1976--the centenary years of Truganini's death--despite the museum's objections, her skeleton was cremated and her ashes scattered at sea.''

Surely Conservapedia's own Genocide article provides a pre-20th Century example of genocide:
 +
:But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee
