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

And the Denisovans

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

[-] Aussiemandeus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I imagine it will get like the expanse

[-] BellaDonna@mujico.org 5 points 1 year 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 20 points 1 year ago

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

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 18 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

I do believe that's the context, yes.

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

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

[-] mtchristo@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[-] Phrodo_00@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

You're probably right.

[-] TheWoozy@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year 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.
