Makes you wonder how much more diversity we might have if we weren’t natural colonisers

Was never going to be too diverse because of disease.

Eh its debatable. We might be a lot less diverse cause populations wouldn't migrate in such large numbers.

I don’t mean locally diverse but around the world. Just imagine the amount of people’s wiped out by colonisers. The most known would be the aztecs and the Incas but there are countless other civilisations and cultures crossed from the history books

Ah I'm with you. Ah yes their are a lot of civilisations it would be fascinating to know more about. But realistically without any colonisation, a number of them would have collapsed all on their own.

Yeah unfortunately that seems to be the way of life. You can only get so big before you implode

Yeah exactly. Plus not every area has the same wealth of resources. And often their just wasn't enough for everyone.

And then you take into seasonal shifts, leading to migrations into account, really your only option is invade someone else or starve to death.
