Where exactly do the Canadians originate from?
Quite simply people all over the world believe that Canada was an empty desolate land before the Europeans arrived and began colonization. Some think that Indians lived here as well as in America. As far as science is concerned both of these are wrong. There is no denying that there are some solid facts that we need to evaluate.
The Aboriginal Canadian Traditions suggest that the indigenous people of Canada have been around since there was a beginning of time, although this is not very likely, and evidence to support this is practically non existent. There is however much evidence to support that they have been around for a long while. With many recent studies it has now been proven, that there was in fact life here over 2o millennia ago. If you want to know where the earliest humans in the world were, this could even be a good place to start.
The main problem with this is that at some point this was all going to come crashing down to an unprecedented end. Then the aborigines found themselves in a bit of trouble. The Vikings slaughtered many of them and then the leading tribes were overrun by smaller ones. As things carried on the Europeans started to arrive in the late 1400’s which resulted in the imminent destruction of the Canadian Aborigines. They were subjected to many of the diseases that the Europeans brought over, not on purpose simply because the Canadians could not cope with these infections and diseases. This is what destroyed around 85 – 95 percent of the entire Aborigine population.
Even thought there may have been aborigines around all that length of time ago, the odds that they are actually still around in the current population are very low? Well if they do it would be in extremely small numbers, in fact so low that they may not even know there own heritage. When you look at it all we really know now is that the Canadians really are just from Europe.
