re: #284 Blind Frog Belly White

Wouldn’t surprise me. It’s one reason to take captives from nearby populations and incorporate them into your gene pool.

I think it’s because for much of recorded history, people really didn’t really leave home that much. Maybe it’s since proven false but the old saying about the average person not going 50 miles from where they were born pre-industiral revolution rings true here. Plus communities were a lot smaller. Even today, the villages where my ancestors from Europe emigrated from have few than 2000 people. It actually makes the tales of our own ancestors all the more extraordinary IMO.
