CAN YOU GUESS? FOUR DIFFERENT POLITIES, FOUR DIFFERENT STRATEGIES.

If a group of people evolved under a sufficient language, so that it was possible to speak operationally, so that one could testify to the truth of a statement, then what would that culture look like? Would that behavior be captured in their genes? If so, then how?

If a group of people evolved under a deficient language, so that it was impossible to speak sufficiently operationally so that one could testify to the truth of a statement, what would that culture look like? Would that behavior be captured in their genes? If so, how?

If a group of people evolved specifically to use language to conduct loading, framing, overloading, and deception in order to lie cheat and steal, what would that culture look like? Would that behavior be captured in their genes? How?

If a group of people evolved specifically to use behavior, not language, to conduct theft by preying upon empathy and altruism, such that they were unable to even distinguish the truth necessary for testimony, and would never give it, even if they did, then what would that culture look like? Would that behavior be captured in their genes? If so, then how?

Truth, morality, and productivity, represents one end of the evolutionary spectrum. But, does that mean that it is the optimum COMPETITIVE strategy, even if it is the optimum ECONOMIC strategy? Or is it an evolutionary dead end, because it is so weak at competing?
