brain. leave it alone.

I do love a good jape from time to time, but colonization is when you show up and expel/enslave/imprison the people who are already there, which is decidedly not how the spread of people from Africa worked

I think the Neanderthals would disagree

[-] mashbooq@infosec.pub 23 points 10 months ago

And the Denisovans

It's going to be real interesting once we finally colonize Mars...

[-] Aussiemandeus@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I imagine it will get like the expanse

[-] BellaDonna@mujico.org 5 points 10 months ago

That's literally not what colonization means. I also promise that most human history is bloody even if you don't know about it. Humans spread out from Africa across the world. My slightly related to me ancestors conquered subjugated and killed their slightly related ancestors. We're all one race.

Individual doesnt know the definition of colonization

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 10 months ago

Well actually, north African did control Spain for about 700 years.

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 18 points 10 months ago

The joke is that we all come from Africa so they colonized the whole Earth, no ?

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 months ago

I do believe that's the context, yes.

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Well , my country was colonized and that word have a very strict definition in my mind.

[-] mtchristo@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Not really despite having been invaded from north africa the spanish caliphate gained its independence after the fall of the Oumayads . then divided into smaller independent Emirates until the Spanish conquest.

[-] Phrodo_00@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Brazil was also independent after Portuguese royalty moved in and declared it a kingdom. It's still considered colony.

[-] mtchristo@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

By your logic even the USA is still a british colony.

[-] Phrodo_00@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I meant it was still considered a colony at the time, when it had non-brazilian rulers but was practically independent from Portugal. I hope you know Brazil hasn't been a colony for around 200 years.

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

You're probably right.

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

You're probably right. Considering it a colonisation

[-] TheWoozy@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

Akchually, the map entire world was colonized by people from Africa. Since the map shows the entire world (even New Zealand), it is accurate.
