I talk about the red paint people for a reason. If european people were here that long ago, ( ~5000 years ago ) - why not earlier?

@ColdOnesLite "indigenous people" is really just an archeological term that the left stole to clothe themselves in the respect of the academy.

@sickburnbro "indigenous people" is such a stupid term, as if we know the first people to ever live somewhere, and they just so happen to always exclude europeans.

@sickburnbro Personally I think migration waves from Europe were "common" (through thousands of years). But a lot of them simply died out. A lot of regions of the planet had same population as Siberian wastelands, and its below sustainable levels. Without return of Europeans, most of the planet will be uninhabited, due to inbreed tribes dying out. Another thousand years without Europeans, and America would have been uninhabited.

@Marakus certainly an interesting question. It's known that for large portions of the americas the indians didn't have truly permanent settlements, and that drastically increases the chances of mass death, since you can't build a good amount of surplus.
