Fish catch in East Africa is down 75% in 30 years. That’s huge - given increased population, hunting effort and “fishing down the food chain”, as species previously not eaten are now fished. There will undoubtedly be substitution - but we barely understand the 2nd order effects, let alone 3rd , 4rth and 5th.

I can assure you that Somalians are not the main contributer to the devestation of the areas like the Gulf of Aden. Most fishing there happens illegally from your "superior countries" taking advantage of the weak country's lack of protection of it's legal fishing waters. When people are fishers and foreign government's come into their land and drain the fish, people get angry.

I agree. If I was a native American a few centuries ago I would also think something similar. What do Europeans contribute to us other than killing of our loved ones and almost extinguishing our race. A ballooning European population is not good.

Europeans have been responsible for the majority of scientific advances we all enjoy today.

Native Americans died from diseases and conflicts with a superior group of people. Competition for resources is a core driver of evolution and is nothing new for any species on Earth.

Europeans got the lucky bounce of Genghiz Khan. It's very probable that the Islam golden age would have beaten Europeans to the punch if not for him.

And what do you mean by "superiors group of people"?

You post too many unsubstantive, inflammatory, ideological comments with a suspicious ethnocentricity. If you keep doing this we'll ban the account because that's not what this site is for.
