Radical Population Disruptions in the Modern Era | Map Room Ramblings #9 | Atlas Altera Atlas Altera 2021-06-14 | CONTENT WARNING: This discussion refers to mass violence, mass atrocities, and genocide. Moral judgement is not touched upon, but is implicit and expected from viewers. Moving from the early prehistoric dispersal humans and pre-modern migrations covered in the previous discussion, we discuss the demographic implications of the so-called "Age of Discovery" in an unorthodox way by looking at population shifts, disruptions, and displacements. By coming to see settler colonialism and imperialism in this lens, we come to appreciate just how radically different human populations have become in the last few centuries. Other topics covered: the Guanches people of the Canary Islands, the concept of terra nullius, isolated and uncontacted peoples, Canadian residential schools, the silent trade, the Kusunda of the Himalayas, the Vedda of Sri Lanka, uncontacted farmers of Papua in the early 20th century, the Moriori Genocide in the Chatham Islands, Lorde Howe Island, and the Vezo and the Bajau of Madagascar and Borneo.Tired of learning geography and history in an uninspired world?
