Reply to comment by ConsitutionalHistory in If the Sami are considered the only indigenous group left in the European Union, what are the Karelians? by Theworldsfuckedm8

And neither are Amerindians or anyone else for that matter.

Technically you're wrong...one could reasonably argue that a given black person in and around certain parts of Africa could claim to be the only true indigenous people on the planet.

That would make me technically correct not technically wrong. And if mankind came from Africa then Africa belongs to people of all races as a motherland.

Not to mention that the current inhabitants of Africa did some large scale displacing and colonizing as well in recent history. The Bantu expansion (1000 BCE- 1 CE, iron age culture) is considered far more recent than the Indo-Europeanization of Europe (3000 BCE- 2350 BCE, late neolithic and copper age culture). If indigenousness is a race, Europe is likely to win from Africa.
