- CaveTech 13y agoIn this instance, it would be migration not immigration.
- morganwilde 13y agoTo extend this line of thinking - you are (possibly) not an immigrant only if you were born in Africa - our place of origin.
- astrodust 13y agoEven "origin" is a misnomer here. It's not clear if the neanderthals were wiped out, or simply assimilated. Many were already living in modern-day Europe.
- nitid_name 13y agoPerhaps the OP is implying that without previous population, the first peoples of the Americas were settlers, not colonizers or immigrants.
