Why historically are there so few indigenous people in the world?
>>18106710What the fuck do you think indigenous people are you retard
>>18106710If an indigenous society developed the economic surpluses needed to expand or grow, they’d have very swiftly stopped being the sort of society that gets called “indigenous”. They’re almost always these societies that have hyper-adapted their lifestyles to their surroundings, which is great and useful for not dying horribly, but it also means they can’t really expand outside their local area and certainly won’t be able to stand for long against a strong outside presence.
>>18106710>Europe has no indigenous peopleExcept for the Sami who arrived in the year 500 BC
The chart shows every weak dumb and uncivilised race on earth.
>>18106722He's just referring to experts and authorities on the matter. The indigenous population of the world is very low, as seen in the image.

>>18106710Why don't the Han count as indigenous to China when using a map with modern political borders?Oh right because they want to reinforce the notion of indigenous as always meaning oppressed minority.
>>18106710If the Maori are indigenous to New Zealand, then so are the English to the Falklands and other empty islands they settled.
>>18106710their definition of indigenous is really weird. I mean, most of the world consists of indigenous people. Kazakhs in Kazakhstan are indigenous, so are Albanians in Albania, French in France, and English in England. You can always come up with some nonsense about how someone moved over two thousand years ago. OK, then we're all coming from Africa. Everything drifts and flows. Even the continents the way they are now weren't there just a few hundred million years ago.
>>18106829>French in France, and English in EnglandWypeepoo came from the Island of Patmos, where they were created by Yakub for his nefarious goals. They aren't indigenous to anywhere.
>>18106858Because the word "indigenous" when used in this context by these academics is not supposed to simply mean a population native to a place, but rather any population that is subject to a "colonizer" culture. The Han chinese are the dominant group to which many minorities are subjected to, and therefore not an indigenous people of China. They're actually quite open about using such a definition for the word and you're not really smart for figuring it out, it's not really a secretHope this also clears up any further discussion itt on why the population and you think are "indigenous" aren't counted as such in this or similar maps
>>18106859I firmly believe that so, so many arguments and debates could have just been avoided if we made new words for new concepts instead of adding meaning to preexisting terms.>racism is prejudice plus power!The layperson does not know this definition and as a result one bajillion discussions across the internet and realspace will now consist of "what about X, hah gotcha!" -> "um ackshually, definition is Y"
>>18106859meant for >>18106755
>>18106770Yeah lol, the Maori arrived in NZ centuries after Vikings went to Iceland lolOr the Inuits of Greenland being indigenous despite arriving centuries after the vikangz
>>18106710>MARCH OF THE TITANSkek
>>18106710There were historically never very many to begin with.>>18106734*Basques>>18106737Haha so true /pol/sister. Now let's go finish up that thesis about how jews own everything and keeping the weak dumb uncivilized wyatt mane down n shit.>>18106755You have to be human to be indigenous. There are no humans in China.
>>18106829English are not indigenous to England. The Welsh are the indigenous people.
