This description of the meteorite that killed the dinosaurs is a bit sobering.

Certainly not indigenous Africans, b.

There's no one madder than the remaining British Kenyan farming community. Those lads are living firmly in 1953 and they're having a lovely old time of it.

Ah. So how long do you have to be there to be considered indigenous, would you say? After all, we're all indigenous Africans if you go back far enough, aren't we? And since people have this tiresome tendency to move about, any definition of indigeneity is going to be pretty arbitrary, isn't it?

Which slave trade, i? There was the Arab slave trade (which pre-dated ours by some centuries) and then the Portugee and the Spaniards were at it long before we got in on the act.

What you mean, of course, is that it should date from the involvement of white, English-speaking males (Boo! Hiss!, etc) in doing slavery, which can basically be traced to the foundation of the Royal African Company in (I think) 1660-1670-ish? No other slavery before that counts.

Oh, I don't know ( I told you history was a shít subject earlier). Probably the latter you mentioned.
