It's their land; they stole it fair and square don't you know... ;) More accurately, their forefathers fought and died for the land, fair and square... :\Though in reality, the European colonization of the Americas was only the most recent in a series of population replacements here. Today's "Native" Americans may be descendants of a wave of settlers that came across the Bering Straight 12-15,000 years ago, replacing earlier settlers that may have came across 50,000 years ago. Modern Europeans themselves are descendants of farming Middle Easterners who largely replaced the Paleolithic European hunter-gatherers, arriving ~8,000 years ago. This wasn't due to peaceful diffusion of the newcomers into the lands of the previously established groups. Here's a cool map (clickable):  The two main groups shown here originate from the Middle East and the Caucasus. Of course, it could be argued that we're in the midst of another population replacement, as Mestizo Mexicans and other Latin American immigrants replace the European groups. |
