The original population of the Americas was some ungulates, mice and a few flying animals. Humans have always been an invasive species if you want to go far enough back. Where do you want to stop and start the clock to call it the "original population"?
- asdkhadsj 7y agoI feel like you're replying to the wrong comment. Unless you're merely agreeing with the parent comment.
- UnpossibleJim 7y agoLOL, fair enough but this whole thread has been a bit of a dumpster fire. I'm a bit curious as to why it's on HN. I shouldn't have commented, to be honest. The whole "original population" v. "migrant population" argument has always been a little odd to me, is all, as humans are inherently migratory and invasive. Our tribal natures have always made us warlike, we just have a tendency to do it on larger scales (though WWII was the epitome, seemingly), and this goes back to chimpanzee lineages. I just threw in a jab when I should have walked away =)
- asdkhadsj 7y agoAgreed entirely. Best wishes friend - and fellow "just human" :)
