That does not take away the relevance of his discovery.
He didn't discover America either.
People were there, it is obvious he was not the first human to get there. So what?
The fact that he went there significantly changed the lives of people living in Europe and people living in the Americas for the following centuries.
Yeah, and that is the damn problem. The change was for the worse.
A valid opinion, should history only record people who made great changes to the world and forget about the ones which did bad changes?
