> In Africa, while there was a lot of colonization, in most places the indigenous people were not displaced (and replaced) to the extent that they were in Europe No, the Bantu expansion was mass genocide on a continental scale. The bulk of africa was previously populated by brown skinned people and pygmies, not by Bantus, who originated in the west Niger delta. From that delta, they exploded, exterminating the rest of south saharan Africa. Most of the natives were killed but some were enslaved and kept as food - an entire continent genocided, with many tribes eaten to extinction. You can see evidence of this with DNA studies and by the fact that virtually all the brownskinned people or pygmies are gone. Sub-saharan africa is now a black skinned continent inhabited primarily by Bantus, when it was previously a heterogeneous continent with black and brown skinned people as well as pygmies. It may have taken more time than the European conquest of America, but it was much more bloody.
