    Pre-Columbian Native American cultures, PODs and alternate histories discussion

    No lol, the wild pigs in Texas are hybrids between wild boars and domestic pigs, the pigs introduced in South America in this scenario can still be easily redomesticated. Would be pretty interesting to see indigenous societies in the Rioplata shift away from nomadism due to the domestication of...

    Pre-Columbian Native American cultures, PODs and alternate histories discussion

    I still wonder how the introduction of Polynesian pig farming to South America would’ve made a big difference, we know they disrupted a lot of ecosystems by introducing disease and eating up the wildlife, but their large diets and hardy nature made them a reliable source of meat

    WI: Horses in South America

    Actually, I wonder why the rhea was never domesticated by pre-industrial civilizations IOTL. Did their temperament and need for large spaces make it difficult for indigenous peoples to domesticate them, like the ostrich? Aside from that, llamas would definitely be valuable for their ability to...

    WI: Horses in South America

    Had an interesting idea lately after reading how indigenous peoples across the southern cone such as the Charrúa and the Mapuche quickly adapted to horseriding and cavalry during the advent of Spanish colonialism. Indeed, the environment of Rio Plata and the Pampas seems to be well suited to...

    WI: No Boers, Stronger Khoisan

    Many of us are familiar with the Boers, the Dutch-speaking people of the Cape Frontier and modern-day South Africa. The origin of these people begins with a group of castaways when a Dutch East India Company ship was stranded in what would become Cape Town, forcing the crew to forage off the...

    WI: Pigs in Aboriginal Australia

    I don’t think so, most likely they’d end up relying on other sources of food like the pigs themselves or just move to an area with fewer pigs tearing up the ecosystem

    WI: Pigs in Aboriginal Australia
