Altered maps VIII: World borders just got garbage-dayed

If lactose intolerance is so high in Mongolia, why do they eat so much dairy there?

 

[Danielion]

Early Humans used to be lactose intolerant, but some have evolved so it seems. Actually, there are more ways Whites seem to have evolved for the good.

You RACIST,just kidding I heard the Negro race is 3% stronger than the Caucasian race

I wrote that on purpose . I like to offend politically correct people. Still, there are attributes to some races or combinations that are interesting by times.

 

[ParkCungHee]

I hope so or my parents, sister and I are the only British people in the world!

There would still be the Scots, Welsh and Ulstermen.

 

[say1988]

They are all just second rate Englishmen

 

[Arakhor]

The Welsh people are just English people who moved west during the Saxon invasion and the Irish are descendants of the Norman conquerors in the 11th Century. The Scottish are just weird.

Can one say that, by the right of his wife, Phillip II became a King of England and therefore ruled England?

 

[Arakhor]

You can say it. That doesn't make it accurate.

Can one say that, by the right of his wife, Phillip II became a King of England and therefore ruled England?

"Under the terms of the marriage treaty between Philip I of Naples (Philip II of Spain from 15 January 1556) and Queen Mary I, Philip was to enjoy Mary's titles and honours for as long as their marriage should last. All official documents, including Acts of Parliament, were to be dated with both their names, and Parliament was to be called under the joint authority of the couple. An Act of Parliament gave him the title of king and stated that he "shall aid her Highness ... in the happy administration of her Grace’s realms and dominions" (although elsewhere the Act stated that Mary was to be "sole queen"). Nonetheless, Philip was to co-reign with his wife. As the new King of England could not read English, it was ordered that a note of all matters of state should be made in Latin or Spanish. Coins were minted showing the heads of both Mary and Philip, and the coat of arms of England (right) was impaled with Philip's to denote their joint reign. Acts which made it high treason to deny Philip's royal authority were passed in England and Ireland. In 1555, Pope Paul IV issued a papal bull recognising Philip and Mary as rightful King and Queen of Ireland."

Yes, in that he was King, but he still didn't rule England.

warpus' map (very nice) reminds me of my old map of Britain. I have it on another computer, but here is the basic concept of it:

Scotland - head, Wales - wings, the cornish part - tail, legs in SE
Ireland - a big parrot.

 

[Squonk]

also, South America's population is of european descent to a big extent, especially when it comes to countries such as Argentina.
There are other similar cases...

Also, somehow these divisions go either by countries' borders (possible), or by strict horizontal lines (impossible)... I call BS, a map created by Godwynn himself to prove the superiority of arian, lactose-tolerant, rase. But he couldn't even do that in a convincing way.

 

[say1988]

I suspect that the ones following national boundaries are due to surveys done in country and horizontal lines just approximate generalities (i.e. you can say that southern Europe has more than Northern Europe)

 

[W|M]

I think most of it is of mixed European and Amerindian descent, like me. A lot of Brazilians are of Japanese descent, though, especially in São Paulo.

 

[say1988]

South America also has a lot more Southern European descent (namely Spanish and Portuguese), which are shown to have more lactose intolerance.

Not saying that the map is very good, though.

That's why I've written it's possible.

If there's an "approximate" generalisation on the scale of entire continent, shown by a simple horizontal line, I find it strange. Especially since northern South America has more people of african or indigenous descent than southern one does, so it should be the other way round probably, but someone making this map did a simple "the more south, the bigger lactose intolerance" assumption.

Yes, that is true. I've once read a book which discussed these matters, a history of South America (a pretty big one, 3 tomes), and I base my knowledge on it. It claimed, however, that Argentina, for example, was primarily a mestizzo country, but only till big white immigration in XIX century, which rendered this country, and some others, much more "white" than they were before. In general, if I recall correctly, Peru and Bolivia have the highest number of amerindian / mestizzo population, and I think (I'm not sure about it) that Venezuela, Colombia had more black people than other hispanic colonies. I'll check it, but my general opinion is that there were developed and established cultures existed prior to european advent, Indians and mestizzos are obviously more present, both because they were more numerable there to start with, and because it was easier for them to merge with Europeans than for some jungle or steppe nomadic tribe.

South America also has a lot more Southern European descent (namely Spanish and Portuguese), which are shown to have more lactose intolerance.

Also a lot of arabic immigration. But when it comes to Argentina or SE Brazil, immigration of Poles or Germans was very big as well. So I doubt they should be on the same level of lactose intolerance as subsaharean Africa...

Surely, the Saxons were the west-moving Englishman? The Welsh were always Welsh, they just used to take up more room.

And I didn't know that the Normans spoke Gaelic. You learn something new everyday!

Can one say that, by the right of his wife, Phillip II became a King of England and therefore ruled England?

I would say "reigned", rather than "ruled". Philip was essentially Prince-Consort in England, whatever his official position may have been.

Early Humans used to be lactose intolerant, but some have evolved so it seems. Actually, there are more ways Whites seem to have evolved for the good.

Well, that's arguably one. What are the others?

 

[Dachs]

There's just about as much evidence for the Welsh being migratory Irish as there is for them being Romano-British. The truth probably lies somewhere in between

 

[Arakhor]

Well, I was speaking mostly in jest, but still.
