Very hard to choose but you have to consider replayability.
Which offers more choices and opportunities?

Fair enough for the comment on remains, but the modern populations surely have some influences from more recent events don't you think?

"Asians" is kind of a misnomer. More like the Denisovans, their protohuman ancestors may have had some contact with Neanderthals in what is now Eastern Europe around the Caucasus Mountains.
As for this piece quote:
>According to the conclusions, rather than a clear East/West geographical bifurcation, there were several waves of migration. During the first, that took place around 45,000 years ago, populations that would later become prevalent in East Asia colonised Europe, and encountered Neanderthals with which they bred before leaving for the East. This would explain the presence of individuals in Bacho Kiro with genomes related to that of modern East Asian populations.
I mean, it couldn't have had anything to do with the Mongol and Hun invasions that ravaged Eastern Europe, killing, raping, and pillaging their way, no?

Great single player, multiplayer is fun for a while but R* abandoned support for online so it won't be updated past now.

>Though I understand your position here, but do you really think that running 1,000 miles in all weather extremes/terrain is instinctual for them? 1,000 miles? Sub zero temps? Cliffs, rivers, ice, etc?
Millenia of breeding and influence on the genetic traits that make up their personalities, drives, and physical forms I say Yes.
>I understand this is a tradition of the Inuit people, but as time goes on, we evolve.
Lmao, so says You and every person who justified the boarding schools imposed upon the Native children.
>Last year at the Iditarod, it was a bunch of white people
So what if it was? You're unironically being incredibly racist.
>It’s time to evolve past using animals like this.
It would have been a more convincing argument if you stuck to the animal cruelty train of thought, but you mixed in woke race bullshit and made an even uglier statement.

I'm a trucker from Kodiak and knew mushers, owned a husky myself. They were born and bred to run, it's so engrained into the fabric of their DNA as to be instinctual.
Running, pulling, and working brings these dogs great enjoyment in life.

I don't think so. If it never happened we wouldn't be able to appreciate this dog and the heroics for as long as we had. Seeing him "in the flesh" so to speak makes an impression.

The dogs are bred and LIVE for that kind of running, Clown.
Siberian Huskies love it as do Malamutes. It is in their nature to haul and run in teams. They are some of the oldest dog breeds on Earth with millenia of tradition in running. Virtue signal ignorantly to people who don't know better, or shut up and learn something in this TIL.

Another old film museum that's charming and worth a visit is the Clackamas County Jailhouse in Astoria, Oregon. The same Jailhouse featured in The Goonies.

Well yeah, this dog and Togo (along with their teams and human leaders) were responsible for saving an entire community in Nome, and such stories like that don't really happen anymore but it was an amazing act of heroism.
As a sporting event Alaska still holds the Iditarod trail race that mirrors the path these teams took from Anchorage with the finish line in Nome.

I had a husky for 12 years who was copper red. He's been gone since May. Still miss him terribly.

Completely made up. He was an Alaskan/Siberian Husky. Back then dogs had not been distilled into the easily identified "breeds" as we know them today.
Like they were, but they weren't. Huskies existed, but they weren't bred into such narrow and tight genetic traits, patterns and markings as they are today.
Notice his coat is actually very shaggy but you won't find many Huskies that look long/shaggy like that, most look more sleek or "poofy" with their winter coats.
The whole "half wolf" thing was a plot device for a cartoon. There was no dog named "Steele" or anything of that nature.
