I think the evidence points the other way for the most part. Strangers were not safe, especially if they looked weird. So, no marriages across the Limpopo for 10ky. Sad.

kinda irrelevant if you had to walk all that way, or ride a donkey. if you came alone what reason would there be for hostility? even if it was your whole family, still, that's not an invasion.

and there is the other problem that whatever diseases you were immune to you might carry them and cause an epidemic. that happened to the aboriginals with the cold virus, absolutely decimated them.

you could learn some of these things by reading about actual history.

long-distance travel pre-modern era was existentially risky: Food: unknown plants/animals, what's poisonous here vs home territory? Water: safe sources unknown, disease vectors different Shelter: where to sleep without freezing/predation Navigation: no maps, easy to get lost and die...

Bro, literally all of that post is wrong. 1. They don't know you're alone, and have no reason to trust if you have no common language, no common legal system. 2. Smallpox from Makassar, not a cold virus (of which there are thousands) 3. You know nothing of my background.
