In a 'funny strange' rather than 'funny ha-ha' way.<br /><br />Down here we had two or three successive waves of tribes coming from elsewhere in the Pacific conquering and to conquer and being conquered in turn, and that's fine and dandy and... actually, they don't talk about it much. Probably because the last set did an especially good job of subsuming the previous settlers.<br /><br />But at any rate, the whole 'stealing of land' thing seems to be one of those things that's no problem when your ancestors did it but is beyond the pale when someone does it to you.Coconutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-16089227617458829282015-03-30T12:48:15.419-05:002015-03-30T12:48:15.419-05:00The real question is what sub-Saharan Africa would...The real question is what sub-Saharan Africa would have become had Europeans NOT showed up.<br /><br />Unless I miss my bet, the Wheel wasn't in use, nor were beasts of burden.
