Why would people move to colder regions?
Back when big game still roamed it made sense but once farming appearad what specifically motivated them to move to regions that objectively made their lives harder in every way?
>>
>>18786825
Because there was more competition in the warmer regions, people moved into cold regions inasmuch as the lack of competition outweighed the worse climate, and this continued until an equilibrium distribution of populations was reached.

>>18786838
>can preserve food for longer periods of time
Kind of counterbalanced by the fact that you can't grow any food for most of the year
>>
If people can possibly live somewhere or in some way, even under extremely poor conditions, they will do so

>what specifically motivated them to move to regions that objectively made their lives harder in every way?

The animals they hunted and relied upon didn't go extinct all at once and in most cases the populations of their primary "bread and butter" prey (muskox, caribou, bison, elk, seals, and whales), were minimally effected by whatever ended caveman times. So the tools, culture, and strategies, they had developed to live in those lands (winter coats, boots, insulated clothing, fat-burning lanterns, eating raw meat, rigorous understanding of animal schedules, etc) would still serve them well while at the same time dramatically increasing the *barrier of entry.

*In other words: when people originally moved up north it was "comparatively easier" to live there, but by the time conditions had declined and it became an impossible environment to survive in they had already (mostly) developed the tools they needed to survive in their indefinitely. Famously, Greenland had a population of Vikings and Inuit people and as conditions worsened for the Vikings they improved for the Inuit, and vice versa, because they had such radically different cultures, tool kits, etc.

Same reason we still do today, anon.

Tbh post agriculture I can't think of many groups that expanded significantly north into colder regions
>Yayoi moving into Jomon regions
this could be explained by agriculture peoples displacing hunter-gathers for more land
>Han Chinese immigration into Dongbei
Songliao plain is sutiable for immigration and apparently it was basically empty
>Roman empire expanding up to Brittania
They basically stopped where actual occupation/garrisons and roman agriculture would be untenable
Maybe some turkic groups moving up into siberia count? Though they were kind of already adapted anyways
Otherwise by the time farming came around most groups that still exist there today were already there or in other cold/arctic areas i think
>>
>>18786825
Because nordjeets are literally retarded. They couldn't handle farming
>>
>>18787594
What?
>>
>>18786825
Which people do you think moved to colder areas? Have you read about the Nordic bronze age?
>>
>>18787591
I was specficaly talking about the original spread of agriculture.
Post agriculture there was specifically a movement to try to migrate back into warmer places as it made life easier.
>>
>>18787617
If they lived amongst farmers they would have been instantly wiped out so they ran away and competed with animals (which also hunted)
>>
>>18787632
What are you even talking about?
>>
>>18787636
nordjeet failure to thrive amongst southchad farmers
>>
>>18787638
Again what the fuck and who are you even talking about?
>>
>>18786859
people can live happily even in harsh climates with the help of technology. Humans are adaptable. I doubt traditional Eskimo life is substantially less comfortable than life in the jungle or savanna, given normal climatic, resource, and cultural conditions. Each biome presents different challenges, opportunities, and cultural adaptations.
>>
>>18787640
Let me put it in simpler ways for you. When an animal finds a certain environment difficult to deal with they tend to migrate. Nordjeets found it difficult to deal with high IQ civilization makers (southchad farmers) so they migrated too. Where did they migrate? Somewhere that had only other mindless beasts such as themselves as competitors. So they moved up north to colder regions to live amongst the wolves far away from real humans

Are you mentally ill?
What the fuck is a nordjeet and soutchad?

We've got skyscrapers, honkey. Sure they may have been engineered and built by Chinese and European firms in the past 40 years, but that's just reparations.
>>
>>18787628
I think that can probably be explained in the same way that Yayoi groups moved into Jomon regions.
It was more densely populated Agricultural groups displacing more sparsely populated Hunter gatherers in order to get land, with the hunter gatherers/pastoralists persisting in places where agriculture was less viable

Whites live in literal mud buildings https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/dec/01/i-gave-it-all-up-to-build-a-mud-house and yes they are lesbians. All of you are gay

lmao no, you fags can't do anything by yourselves without the labor of the black man

Looks better than 99% of africa.
And africans receive help from all around the world yet still can't build anything on their own everything is built by chinese.

What's the matter can't handle some time away from a screen? If those women weren't browsing tumblr and watching gay tv shows they would have remained straight. This is why you're an endangered species while Africans remain virile

The entire family + goat eats on the floor in the cramped living room how comfy.

Goats graze in the fields anon. Meanwhile whitebois have to eat roof rabbit (cat meat) and deal with their fingers falling off due to frostbite

Aren't yemenis are literally undergoing food shortages and starvation at the moment.
>>
>>18787807
Yes wars tend to do that. Now say would you rather live with them or amongst whitey freezing to death in their commieblocks? Tick tock winter is coming
>>
>>18787820
Weren't they already suffering from food shortages before any wars
I would not live in either if i had the choice
As long as the commie blocks got heating id choose it over the mudhouse.
Better electricity, water and you know also not having to live in yemen i guess.
>>
>>18787845
"At least eight million Yemenis are at risk of starvation from an approaching famine caused not by crop failures but by our actions and those of our allies." No it's the war
>I would not live in either if i had the choice
No you have to pick one of them. Remember the actual commie blocks also have no food https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/09/miserable-and-impossible-food-scarce-in-kyiv-ukraine-as-russia-targets-supply-chains
>>
>>18787801
there's deer
>>
>>18787856
Starvation and food shortages was already an issue in pre war yemen.
I'd say my chances of getting food are still much higher in ukraine or russia.
I'd say my quality of life would still be higher in siberia than yemen.
