    I don’t think disease should be so commonly mentioned before brutality when explaining the main causes of eradication of indigenous populations.

    It’s proven time and time again that Europeans visiting and /or colonizing different areas around the world were consistently mistreating and abusing the indigenous people. This was global genocide but we learn it as “colonization” and “exploration”, euphemisms for the truth.

  2. YOU SHOULD MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT WHATS UNDER THE SAHARA DESERT!!!! I’ve always been super curious about that and this is exactly the sort of research I’ve wanted to see on that topic. 10/10 video and a new subscriber here!
