Weren't they greeted by the Native Americans in a "Non" welcoming way?

Hello Reddit world! I am new to Reddit and neither English or tech savvy.A good friend of mine told me if I have a question and needed help Reddit was the place. I have searched the internet for the last three hours and I can not seem to find any updated contrast Age between Aboriginal people and the oldest African tribes...Genetics..Culture..Civilization... Questions: 1. Who exactly has the older(Age) Genetic make up in correlation to modern man.How So? 2.How does Aboriginal Culture Compare to ancient African culture?(As far as a time line ) 3.how do the Aboriginals rank up against other ancient race civilizations? PS..I am American. And not much is taught about The Aboriginal people of Australia. I hope this is not too much.

I was reading up on Manchukuo and noticed that there was a huge gender disparity between men and women with there being many more men than women. I'm curious if this was just somehow a regional thing to the time period or if this phenomena was common across all of China. I know that there were a lot of potential parents that would get rid of female children after the one child policy was implemented but I thought that the phenomena was only limited to the past 35 years or so. So was the infanticide of girls common in pre republic China? Were there any other factors that factored into the huge gender disparity.

Since many upper class men had multiple wives how common was it for an average man to find a woman to marry and settle down? Was marriage in imperial China only for the privileged elite and a lucky few farmers?

I hope my question is straightforward and that I can possibly get an answer.

Thank you.

Sorry if this is not the right place to post this, but I had a question about the way German Wehrmacht and Soviet Red Army companies were organized/structured. There isn't a lot of info readily available that I could find below the division level. Basically, were the companies in those armies organized similar to how U.S. companies were in WWII? For example, I would presume each would be commanded by a captain with several platoons commanded by lieutenants, etc. Plus there would be a first sergeant serving as the chief NCO for the company, etc. However, I did see somewhere that a Red Army regiment just had platoons within it, not companies. Am I off the mark?

Examples being Custer, Lee, Jackson, MacKenzie, etc.

I am working on a project about the Seljuks, sources would be appreciated.

I'm taking a class on American history that covers some of the civil rights era, and it seems that at that time and before, neither liberal nor conservative rhetoric seemed to lean much on Christian rhetoric, and neither more than the other. However, in modern politics, it seems that a lot of conservative leaders frequent invoke fairly heavily Christian rhetoric. When did this become the case, and how did a political party seem to become so strongly tied to one specific religious faction? Thanks!

I'm not sure if this type of question is allowed for this sub, but I have been watching Turn on Netflix and have a huge urge to read more about the revolutionary war, the specifics of the battles, the struggles of the continental army, all things like that. I figured this would be the place to ask about what book would be recommended for something like that. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

I'm a fan of the 2010 True Grit movie. I know it's based on an older movie and a book, but I'm mostly referring to the newer one.

My question is: in terms of costumes, props, speech, whatever else., how accurately does this movie portray life in late 19th century Arkansas?

What is the earliest event in history that has been dated to a specific day/year? Not things like "the Neolithic Revolution occurred in 8,000 BC."

Has Orwell's Animal Farm influenced how we perceive Russia, the ideological visionaries & events of the time? How biased is said book? How true is Orwell's interpretation of communism & it's branch off into Stalinism? What is Old Major's ideas reminiscent of? Thank you :)

What was the first "think tank" to try to influence policy, or public opinion? Who came up with the idea?

My friend is a casual reader of history and told me this but I'm somewhat skeptical of it. If it is true I have some follow-up questions like did the Mongol conquerors view rape in the ethically deviant way modern society currently does and was this common of other invading armies that recruited young men in antiquity?

So I posted this question over a year ago, and was hit with the April fools response, but I'm still curious.

After a trip to the DMZ on the South Korean side, I had always heard it was standard for the North Korean guards to face each other because they were worried about defecting. Along with being told the major 6+ lane highway leading out of Seoul was rigged to blow in the event of invasion, I'd like to think this was all hogwash propaganda from our side.

Is there a historical base to this? I can't imagine the North Koreans actually instructing their guards that their top concern should be defectors.

FDR was the first and only person to serve more than two terms as President of the United States. His presidency, many would say, led to the passing of the Twenty-second amendment of the constitution. What was the immediate reaction to FDR seeking a third term? Was there major backlash?

Sorry I couldn't think of a more intelligent name for this. In WWI, on the western front, where were there trenches? Did they cover the entire front line, from Switzerland to the Channel? How would trench warfare work in coastal, mountainous, or border areas?

The question is basically in the title: How have nationally, or even internationally, beloved sports come to an end throughout history?

So I understand this is somewhat of a broad question, but I don't really know enough about dead sports to ask this question without sounding stupid. I know ancient American cultures had some handball based sports that have become the stuff of myth and legend (such as killing the losing team or playing with heads and stuff that I don't entirely buy) and the Romans had their gladiator matches.

But how do these (and other popular sports I've never heard of) usually come to an end? Will it take societal collapse before we stop asking if Player X is better than Jordan? Will people just slowly forget the name "Pele" because too much flopping ruined the sport?

I figured I could use this as a breaking in point to learn about something I've never really studied before and to maybe imagine how today's popular sports may die.

Hello to you all and thanks for viewing! I have been getting really interested lately about Vinland. It is just such an odd phenomenon that I cant help but want to learn more. Anyways, as to the first category, are there any good books out there that talk about ancient Icelandic/Greenlandic culture? It may be one and the same with Scandinavian culture, I am not all so sure. I would like to find something that talks about their customs, religion, ways of interacting with others, etc. About Vinland, I am already aware of and in the process of getting the Saga of the Greenlanders and the Saga of Erik the Red. I was wondering if there are any other books about the Vikings there at the time. I would be particularly interested in something about their interactions with the Native Americans (Thules in this case?). Thank you guys so much for reading and I would love it if you could help a nerd out! Clarifying thing-a-majig, I am fine with links to web pages, I just want to learn as much as possible!

Bonus Question: Anyone have a good article about Runestones? I would like to know more about those too. +
