Why do you think there are native antaricans?

Answer 1

The concept of "native Antaricans" is often misunderstood, as Antarctica does not have an indigenous human population due to its harsh climate and remote location. However, some researchers suggest that early human exploration and temporary settlements by scientists and explorers could lead to a cultural presence, albeit not a permanent native population. The continent primarily hosts a transient population of researchers and support staff from various countries, rather than native inhabitants. Thus, while Antarctica has a rich ecosystem and unique wildlife, it lacks a native human culture or civilization.
