I just watched a fantastic show about the Americas before Columbus. It really is amazing what has happened in the past 500 years since Europeans (supposedly) first came ashore in America.
The Columbian Exchange is defined as:
the widespread exchange of animals, plants, culture, human populations, communicable diseases, technology and ideas between the American and Afro-Eurasian hemispheres following the voyage to the Americas by Christopher Columbus in 1492, colonization and trade by Europeans in the Americas, and institution of the slave trade in Africa and the Americas.
Before the Columbian Exchange, there were no oranges in Florida, no bananas in Ecuador, no paprika in Hungary, no potatoes in Ireland, no coffee in Colombia, no pineapples in Hawaii, no rubber trees in Africa, no chili peppers in Thailand, and no chocolate in Switzerland.
Also take a look at the animals we take for granted in America. Before Columbus there were no horses, pigs, cows, donkeys, rats, sheep etc....
Take a look at this wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbian_Exchange (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbian_Exchange)
It really is fascinating to learn that most of the stuff we consider common, might not have been natural to where we live.

America did have prehistoric horses...Hyracotherium, Orohippus, Mesohippus, Misohippus.
Intermediate horses were Epihippus, Parahippus and Merychippus.
Then the true precursors to the modern horse, Hipparion and Hippidion. Hippidion is the horse that spread from North America into South America and Eurasia. These two came during the Pliocene.

I suppose you could smear it in whey isolate
giving you some anabolic advantages to your cock smoking

And before Columbus, there were no tomatoes in Italy...tomatoes are native to the area known as Colombia today.

Wow...it's almost like the discovery of the New World changed history or something....

Columbus, the bringer of death, slavery, and plants. And apparently his navigator Pedro Alonso Niņo, a man of color, didn't know what would be in store for his people down the road

I notice how you always start shit. You finally get bored about micro penises?

Dont forget that the white man also brought over STD's and gave them to the natives. Thanks white people!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, diseases were swapped on both sides. It was the Natives that took the brunt of the casualties. The huge death toll made it easy for later conquistadors and settlers to claim land largely unopposed.

its an honest opinion
therefore not an argument
you scour other websites for stuff to copy and paste on here
because you are incapable of formulating anything on your own
I don't want to fight about it but I am entitled to point out that you have ruined this website
cheers :)

I bet seeing some of those hot as native girls would have been bonerific! Bet they were super hairy though

Thats why so many strippers are called Pocahotass to this day.

Seeing any women after a long journey would be of said joy...
I believe the term mermaid came from delusional men at sea.

Columbus also claimed to have seen UFOs on his journey at sea.
They say that Columbus brought 8 pigs with him to the new world.
After a few hundred years, some of those escaped pigs became the wild boars you see today.
The domesticated pigs did not have a need to grow tusks to defend themselves.
A little Darwinism at work.

And they ALWAYS have that carmel colored skin, nice brown nips and log black hair you can hold on too

The list of diseases that Europeans brought over:
bubonic plague
chicken pox
cholera
common cold
diphtheria
influenza
leprosy
malaria
measles
scarlet fever
smallpox
typhoid
typhus
whooping cough
yellow fever
yaws
It seems that the Native Americans got the short end of the stick on this one. The only notable disease that the Europeans got introduced to, was Syphilis. But boy did they pick one with lasting power :-X
-
Scarlet fever? Oh wait, that's only one 't' at the end..

I was hoping this thread would contain pics of hot naked Latinas.
