Didn’t the natives immigrate from Asia?

Correct. Between 30,000 and 16,000 years ago, humans came to North America from Siberia..

At least as far as we know so far.

They found a footprint in San Diego, back in the late 90s that shows that people were here at least ~~120,000~~ 20,000 years ago or some shit.

Oldest found in North America is 23,000 years old.

A 120,000 year old footprint was found in Saudi Arabia, obviously that is the cradle of civilization, as far as we know.

Shit I conflated the two, thanks.

Yep. There's no 'natives'. Shits been getting invaded and conquered forever.

People have been dying from measles for forever. We know better now and can stop.

OK. What's your point?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just because everything was invaded in the past doesn't mean we can't do it differently in the future.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How does either of your comments relate to my point of there being no natives?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

The idea that there are no natives and everywhere has been invaded forever implies that is the normal way of things.

Well yeah but so long ago that I wouldn't really count that as immigration in modern sense. Since technically everyone is immigrant except the bery first humans that existed. And if you really want to stretch it far we all immigrated from the sea before we even were humans
