An Insight Worth Repeating

—“What I find interesting is that the reproductively favorable traits: Height, Light Skin, Blue Eyes, Blonde Hair, Sociability, Agency, Milk, and Grain tolerance end up in Europeans thus maintaining SIGNAL neoteny without sexual neoteny as in east Asia. Despite the fact that these traits evolved in different places in different groups, europeans collected them. and it’s because of the range of eurasian genetic experimentation in varying climates and conditions. This is one of the key insights I’ve had. East Asians overplayed neoteny. Africans, Austronesians (impulsivity) and Semites underplayed neoteny (aggression). Europeans collected highly desirable features abandoning primitive rapid maturity, deep morphology, and lack of agency (Africa) without sacrificing reproductive desirability (east Asians), or carrying reproductive undesirability to extremes (Australians). In other words, Europeans selected for symbolic neoteny without significant suppression of sexual maturity. Thus creating a balance between impulsive and rapidly maturing Africans, and calm slowly maturing east Asians. It’s like the three little bears: “this one is just right”.”—
