What an embarassing concept. Brings me shame to even imagine such a thing. Can you imagine being African and having to face the reality that your people were conquered and treated like cattle throughout history?

>>3134431
I'm referring to the colonization and enslavement of Europeans

Didn't happen outside of very limited instances.

Jewish science is a meme. Pic related is just a fog machine and some light filters.

Nowhere near close enough sadly, and even if they built one they still lacked a viable delivery method.

>>3134278
what about V-rockets?

I'll believe it when I see it, until then it's irrelevant to my life.

Multiple people in charge of the development of consumer technologies and software are of this "religion" so it already has impact.

Kinda silly for the most part since most people who are enthusiastic about these things are not the people working to bring them into reality. Researchers are much more pessimistic since they know how hard shit really is. Technological singularity will probably always be "right around the corner" and "inevitable" just like communism. Both are basically built on a lack of an understanding of the subject matter, physical science and economics respectively. They're mostly for people who want a simple answer to the difficulties of the human condition and human life, that will come without them having to do anything, hence inevitability.

I know this is bait but,

>North Africa = sub Saharan

They don't, that's why.

Just call them niggers.

Only in the USA can one think that the term "African-American" is politically correct. My friend Gerard, a white man from South Africa who relocated to Pennsylvania, is an African-American. My friend Hassan, a Moroccan who relocated to California, is an African-American. The white Zimbabwean businessman whom i met in Argentina and the black Angolan student whom i met in Brazil are African-Americans. But that is not what USA citizens mean when they say "African-American": they mean "black person who lives in the USA". In fact they call "African-American" even people from Haiti, Britain and France, as long as their skin is black. Most USA citizens (particularly the self-appointed African-American ones) think of Africa as being only sub-Saharan Africa, and of America as being only the USA. And they do not consider white people born in Africa as "African". In other words, when they say "African" they really mean "person with a black skin", and when they say "American" they really mean "USA citizen".

I think that "black" is more precise and, ultimately, more politically correct. Thus i use "black musician" to mean what USA citizens refer to as "African-American musician". If no nationality is provided, then it means that the black person is from the USA (this book is mostly about the USA, so it would be redundant to keep repeating "black USA musician"). I write both "black" and "white" lower case. Occasionally i lapse into the "African-American" thing myself, but that should be in a broader context (when i am indeed talking about the two continents).

We would have greater cultural diversity, nationalism and interesting nations that's for sure. Probably have less broken families too.

So utterly different that it's almost impossible to guess. Without the spread of Christianity and Islam alone the world would be almost totally unrecognizable.

Buddhist

this shit is upside down

Looks like the name of a member of the righteous RKKA.

Roughly translated, (I'm no expert in Russian and this appears to be a slightly different dialect to what I learned, but it appears to say, "traps are gay."

Women are attracted to physically attractive men who are confident.

Being average-looking and confident/funny/successful gets you nowhere with women. In fact, unattractive but confident men are almost always seen as creepy virgin losers by women.

HISTORY AND....... WAIT FOR IT..... AAAAAND.....
HUMANITIES!!!!!!

There's a difference between raiding a city and destroying buildings and having to get rid of buildings because the city was cluttered

>>3133420
The barbarians didn't destroy that many buildings, the byzantines sieges and the eartquake of the IX century did way heavier damage and the renaisence then sistematically destroyed the roman forum and all the temples to build fancier homes for the popes and the aristocrats
check any building of ancient rome and you'll see

>>3133270
Do you have a source for that?

>>3133147
Few meters is plenty, you can hit and they can't hit back.
Though I imagine it was a further distance instead.

>>3133147
The Mongols were taught to ride horse and hit moving targets from childhood. So they had expert archers and expert riders in all ranks. I think there are some records of events being held by Genghis Khan to show off their best archers who were able to hit some 300 meter target.

>>3133147
Generally, you're aiming at a mass of bodies so all you have to be is precise or get the range right.

Not saying they can't into marksmanship tho

>I've seen lots of modern horsemen (like Lajos Kassai) come only few meter from the target before engaging.
You now know why gun-wielding civilizations were such a death sentence to this culture.

Even if they came from Anatolia they would cluster inside Italy(if they had minor Italic admixture). The genetic spectrum of Italy is enormous and includes people are definitely not from Europe like Sicilians.

Italians need to embrace their mixed and complex heritage which in no way changes no matter what Etruscans were.

>>3133058
Sicilians are Europeans you retarded fuck, they came from Greeks and Italics.

>>3133066

Ashkenazi Jews also come from Italics and Greeks and cluster very close to Sicilians

nnnnmnmnm

Why is the holy spirit a pigeon?

>>3132884
No because every living human has the breath of life but only the redeemed have an indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

What do you mean?

Industrialisation

Only hipsters care about authenticity and look where that gets them.

Here you go friend. Finally someone who understands me. Like imagine if aliens landed on Earth. They'd think we're sooooo stupid, right?

>Who paid doctors / physicians before health insurance or socialized medicine?

THE PATIENTS, OR THEIR RELATIVES.

>How did they make a living?

THEY WORKED.

Private doctors were paid by their patients. Poor people went to hospitals, where you basically went to get tended to by nuns so you wouldn't be a burden. You wouldn't want to go to a hospital, since they were basically hospices*
*This applies to Medieval times

It used to be that nuns and holy orders would handle a lot of emergency health care, and would often do it for free
