[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] ^Good read, however at first somewhat confusing, since that skipped on me. I was more focused on other parts. Where are the Greater and Lesser Antilles? The islands of the Caribbean sea are also known as the West Indies. Within the West Indies, the islands can be divided even further into two groups: the Bahamas and the Antilles. The islands of the Antilles are then further divided into two sub-groups: [list] [*][b]The Greater Antilles[/b]: located southeast of the United States, [b]contain the islands of Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominical Republic), and the islands composing the Cayman Islands.[/b] [*][b]The Lesser Antilles[/b]: contains smaller archipelagos like the [b]U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, Montserrat, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Barbados, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, and Trinidad and Tobago and Aruba.[/b] [/list] https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-is-the-difference-between-the-greater-antilles-and-the-lesser-antilles.html Basically those taken by the Spanish have more Native American (Carib-Indian) in them. Historically that makes sense since Portuguese and Spanish first started to enslave the people from West and Central Africa. British etc came many decades later, almost a century later. In the early stage Carib-Indians were still around. On mainland you’ll find them in abundance in the Amazon’s. This tells us something else as well, which is they most likely had boats. And these boats were made in similar fashion as the boats in Africa. The mysterious question then becomes, who taught them how to make these (type of) boats. If they weren’t in contact with the outside world for thousands of years? Amerindian Tule boats. https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/pair-of-native-american-men-bind-bundles-of-tule-bulrushes-in-place-picture-id158377190 [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/YEIO3aX.jpg?1[/IMG] [b]IMG resized[/b] https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/23/Ohlone_Indians_in_a_Tule_Boat_in_the_San_Francisco_Bay_1822.jpg African Tule boats.
