SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT

Geographical circumstances and ‘timing’ led to the choice of very counter-to-type cultural norms, which produced as a consequence institutional, cultural, and technological superiority which resulted (as in east asia) in more rapid selection for neoteny and more rapid culling of the underclasses (the “Evil 80s”).

It will be very, very, hard to defeat this argument btw.

It is possible that europeans had developed genetic tendencies prior to the adoption of horse (steppe), wheel(europe), and bronze(armenian anatolia).

However, as far as I can tell, it is unnecessary to rely on genetic accident, given that all of western civilizations advantages are explained without reliance on such accident. And there is no evidence that any other people could not adopt those same cultural, institutional, and genetic abilities by similar reduction of the underclasses alone.
