but...both of those are still around. Nearly a million of each if Wikipedia is to be believed.Silesians or Alsatians.
Very Europe focused, but I feel either or both could have fortunate sideffects.
If Neanderthals existed until modernity would they have been acknowledged as being a separate species or simply a unique ethnic/racial group?neanderthals at gran canaria would be interesting
It would be weird, because until we have modern genetics we wouldn't know they were any different.If Neanderthals existed until modernity would they have been acknowledged as being a separate species or simply a unique ethnic/racial group?

There was a suggestion at the time of the first skeleton's discovery that it was an arthritic Cossack from the Napoleonic Wars.I mean from skeletal remains it was obvious from day one when neanderthal were first discovered they were not exactly human.

I honestly always wanted to see someone use the Amazonas river as a cradle of civilization, with the mandioca rootThe Marajoara culture of precolumbian Amazonia, and Amazonian civilisation in general. We know so little about what happened in Amazonia before contact that almost all viable research there is ecological and archaeological, rather than historical, and there are a ton of different theories as to what human activity the land could have sustained or actually did sustain - but I would love to see the most extravagant estimates taken and run with in AH, and with them a surviving civilisation in the Amazon rainforest.
Lusitanians, let's GOOOOOPre-Roman Iberians? Tartessosians? Aquitanians?
Oh yeah, now this is where it is at. Imagine the Portuguese showing up and meeting a civilization of 100.000 on the Marajó island. It would also have big knock-on effects, such as the region being more popullated and possibly having more staple cultures in general. It would probably be assimilated by the Portuguese anyway and mostly die-off due to diseases, but they might end up distinguishing the Marajoáras from the general popullation of the wider Grão-Pará.The Marajoara culture of precolumbian Amazonia, and Amazonian civilisation in general.

Same. It could be South America's own potato.I honestly always wanted to see someone use the Amazonas river as a cradle of civilization, with the mandioca root
Now you leave me wanting it!This reply is 100% funnier because I just finished eating some Fried Macaxeira.
