What is it like living in a country that you know isn't your ancestral homeland ?

What is it like living in a country that you know isn't your ancestral homeland ?

Doesn't it feel strange?

When a native hears the birds outside his window, he knows those are the same birdsongs his ancestors would have heard thousands of years ago, he sees mostly the same wildlife and plants around him.
He walks the same ancient roads and farms the same land. His entire lineage is buried beneath his feet and he sees ruins and relics of that legacy everywhere.

He might have adapted to his environment in subtle ways that we don't appreciate anymore, like epicanthic folds to protect against snow blindness or sickle cell to prevent malaria, these are redundant if you're out of place.

The animals are different, the crops, the land, the weather, doesn't it feel "wrong" or "alien?

Or is it all forgotten with the first generation born in the new land ?

I remember seeing something years ago about european americans listening to recordings of birdsongs from europe and it having a different effect on the brain when measured scientifically.(genetic memory?) Can't find anything online about it

"ancestral homeland" is a spook. You are just making up ideas that in reality have no significance.

fact

if you think this is real your imagining it

Whats it like being a spoooked up nigga

You feel very little to no connection to anything.

my direct paternal line has been on the east coast US since 1666, my direct maternal line goes back to the native Huron.

This is my ancestral homeland.

think what is real?

>being this spooked

LMAO your life

How do you even define ``ancestral homeland"? Aren't we all descended from some tribe in Africa (or was it Siberia, I forget)? So would that mean that's our ancestral homeland? How long must you live somewhere for it to become your real homeland?

I'd say any realness to the concept comes from subjective construction by the mind - meaning, where you live is your homeland, unless your mind is occupied thinking of the lands where your ancestors lived. It really comes down to whether you think of yourself as an American, or a German living in America.

People have always moved and migrated as centuries passed. It's not a modern phenomenon, and it's almost always out of necessity. Better to live in a land where the birds sound unfamiliar than in the homeland where you might starve.

Listening to some European birds now. They are nice but I gain the same pleasure from hearing the new world birds. Why should I want to feel connected to my ancestors when I am used to my own new world.

>I remember seeing something years ago about european americans listening to recordings of birdsongs from europe and it having a different effect on the brain when measured scientifically.(genetic memory?) Can't find anything online about it

Probably placebo affect. If you told burgers the birds were african or some shit they'd ask for their dick size baka

>Siberia

God no, it's Ethiopia.

only numales cling to the meme of common past, lineage, merit and honor

um sorry but in general the flora and fauna we experience today are vastly different to that of people even a century or two ago.

New species were introduced all over the place during the age of sail, and often entirely destroyed entire ecosystems that weren't ready for them. In North America for example, by 150 years ago the passenger pigeon, which was once the continent's most common bird, was extinct. Wolves have almost completely gone. Black rats and housemice, starlings and sparrows, all came over from Europe in around the 19th century. Tumbleweeds, iconic from Spaghetti Western movies, are native to Russia.

It's the same story anywhere. Wherever your ancestors are from, it was a totally different place from you, whether it's the same village or the other side of the world.

>that slav hair

I too feel more at home in Nippon.

There is nothing wrong with taking influence from your ancestors, but feeling a bond to a piece of land is a strange concept to me.

your ancestral homeland is africa, snow nigger

and if you grew up somewhere else you would feel at home there

Speak for yourself Jamal.

I wouldn't know, but it does make me smile when I go outside and I see the red deer that don't exist some 50 km away, or when I hear pigeons doing their indescribably noises, or the native plants. Just the general colour of the vegetation, the kind of leaves, all of that. The particular coloration of the half-tame cats. The colour of the houses. All of that. Perhaps it's not a genetic predisposition or anything, but I believe that being native to a land is undeniably comfier than being new to it.

Whenever I'm on vacation, I get really confused on a subconscious level by the different flora. Went to Paris, took a train from the airport, got amazed at the shades and colours of tropical green the native weeds had. Stuff like that. Beaches with sand that isn't pure white. Oak trees.

>It's the same story anywhere. Wherever your ancestors are from, it was a totally different place from you, whether it's the same village or the other side of the world.
The only thing my region has undergone has been extensive deforesting and the introduction of chinese pheasants. That's about it. The rest of the land might as well have been evolved here.

I feel confused when I am away from my native homeland as well. It doesnt feel natural and just feels right to be home.

I'm a super mutt, all the races I'm a part of hate me for not being full blooded
I feel uncomfortable every second of my life
I'm also the first generation of my entire bloodline to be born where I was and still live, and my parents spent more of their life somewhere else so they're hardly even naturalized to the climate and such

think very hard, cumskin. think of it like this. who was your father? who was your father's father? who was your father's father's father? Now from this, extrapolate further back and think about where this ancestor could have lived approximately. If you go back, white boi, many fathers back, you'll start to see that their skin becomes progressively darker and darker the further they moved away from your cloudy snowy shithole, the land where you fuck sheep anus. We accelerate now, going further back, and we see a very distant ancestor of yours leaving the african continent. further still, and your ancestor and mine meet in one line until, finally, we arrive to the first humans, dark skinned men and women who lived in AFRICA, snowcuck. If you can't understand this, it is no wonder why I pull your women so easy while you dildo yourself to trap porn on an online cameroonian tribal outpost.

World philosophy should be you should live in your homeland. globalism causes and is leading cause of stress and anxiety in todays world.

Genetic memory is more short term. Think in the past 10-1.000 years.

Maybe it's actually because you grew up there?

Homeland? Or family unit. I would argue that globalisation has heightened individualism and shunned community responsibility. Homeland has little to do with it.

>Doesn't it feel strange?
Quite the opposite. For me the idea of living somewhere where everyone has the same genetic makeup of you is stranger. I like looking at people and trying to guess their ancestry. You can't do that in Russia, for instance. Nearly everyone you look at, no matter how weird they look, is from the same place as you.
Furthermore, the idea that you are drawn towards the same stuff as your ancestors is a huge meme and everybody knows it.

Russia? You're a fucking retard.

You know what I meant you autist.

But earth is my homeland so why would I have a problem?

So in other words you are a globalist and literally destroying this world. good job.

>literally destroying this world.

Honestly you should feel shame if you're a deserter. You were genetically fixed to live somewhere which is why races exist in the first place. They adapted to their environment. It is so unnatural and so unhealthy and a shock leave your ancestral homeland.

Anglo-australian. Forebears migrated here from the Bristish Isles between 100 and 200 years ago

My biology protests in non-subtle ways - the sun burns my milky white skin, the strange flora and pollens make my eyes itch, the burrs and bindis in the grass sting the soles of my tender feet

At a deeper level I feel disconnected from the landscape. It seems tremendously barren and stark. I have no ingrained memory of it. Some part of me longs for grey skies, drizzling rain and bubbling brooks.

Theres a constant yearning ache and intimate familiarity for a climate and ecology Ive never actually experienced first hand

Depends on how well you integrate and how well the host country accepts your integration.

Autist like me can't integrate, but my parents and my siblings did.

For most people, its their new home. For some people, even the "natives", the few autists, there is no homeness feeling anywhere in the world except in the wilderness where there is nothing for miles end.

Everywhere I go, I always feel at home

"ancestral homeland"

I'm a white South African... Doesn't that mean I've returned to my originial homeland then?

So your ancestors were Africans who never left Africa?

I dunno. Do you look at the landscape and think "I belong here"

I will adapt to this new land because of my superior genetics and spread my seed across all corners of the world. There's nothing you can do to stop me.

The weak should fear the strong.

>At a deeper level I feel disconnected from the landscape. It seems tremendously barren and stark. I have no ingrained memory of it. Some part of me longs for grey skies, drizzling rain and bubbling brooks.

Is there any science behind this because you basically described me...

>Scottish origin, ancestors immigrated in early 18th century
>rural Australia, flat barren landscape, dry hot summers, moderate cool winters
>feel longing for mountains,forests,streams, the ocean
>nothing but dust and heat

Always wonders if this was my genetics telling me I was out of my natural habitat or that I just hated living in a featureless country.

#

Yeah, I feel at home here. It's my home and everything here feels natural.

It's more to do with the fact that australia is such an inhospitable shithole for white people.

In that case, good for you.

It does. I am from australia but dream of europe. Nothing here feels quite right. I hate these spiders and I have allergies to a many things
I have to say that it's not at the front of my head though. I love this place but I know that it's not where I dream to be.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Great migrations were a thing faggot. If you're living in Europe, Asia, or Africa, I can guarantee you that a significant portion of your ancestors arrived in the land you lived in today only in the last few centuries. I bet you believe in racial/ethnic purity as well.

Also life isn't an assassins creed game. Memories aren't genetically coded. The only way you can somewhat experience the things your ancestors experience is through writing, art, or videos in the last few decades.

Let me ask you this. Do you feel a special connection to Kenyan wildlife?

>where you live is your homeland
that makes no sense to me. isn't at the very least where you grow up your homeland? and this would assume all people are equal regardless of their ethnicity

>I can guarantee you that a significant portion of your ancestors arrived in the land you lived in today only in the last few centuries.

Keke what a stupid fucking post

you may be a newcomer to your swamp surroundings of Louisiana Cletus, but the rest of the world traces their ancestry to a 50 mile radius for centuries

My parents are from Ethiopia but I'm american born. I'm 24 and I've still never visited . Feels weird man.

lots of those happened in southern Sweden right

>for centuries

Read the OP faggot. He said thousands of years, not centuries. And given that it hasn't even been two millennia since most of these migrations took place, I'm fairly sure in saying that OP is wrong.

Also, what country do you come from that all your ancestors were born within a 50 mile radius? You're telling me your ancestors never moved to cities from the countryside, or between cities, in the last few centuries?

How would I know any different living in a former British colony? I've never been to Germany or England

I don't know but I'd rather be in the land of the free than in a gulag or commieblock.

>You're telling me your ancestors never moved to cities from the countryside, or between cities, in the last few centuries?
Not that user, but I know for a fact that my great-grandparents never traveled any further than to the next town until the end of WW2 and that it was one hell of a big deal when their son moved to another city for work in the 50s.
