SO GENETICS AND POLITICAL SYSTEMS MATTER?
The difference between regional groups, even territories in europe, is produced by the duration under (a) agrarianism, and (b) manorialism in particular, and (c) the form of crops. These three factors determine the current i) iq/personality distributions of various ethnic subgroups, ii) the size of the underclass because of that difference in distributions, iii) the family type used by that group, iv) the moral bias of that group v) the voting patterns of that group.
In other words, the greatest improvement in the standard of living that you can provide for your people, is a reduction in the rate of reproduction of those in the lower and underclasses. Period. Nothing else comes close. It determines everything from norms to trust, to institutions that are possible, to the size of companies that you can form, and the ability to form sustainable patterns of specialization and trade.
In other words, the reason the east and west were so successful is that (a) homogenous kin – the least diverse people on earth, (b) the use of manorialism to starve out the underclasses or reduce their numbers, and (c) aggressive culling of the underclass in the west by hanging up to 1% of the population per year after 1000ad, and by very aggressive use of the axe (head chopping) in east asia for thousands of years (the symbol of authority in china was the axe).
The chinese are the oldest civilization and have succeeded in neotonic selection more so than any people on earth – to the point where it has become problematic. Europeans slightly less so, and from a later branch of homo sapiens sapiens. The rest of the world has NOT done this. And has neither the cold winters or agrarianism long enough to reduce the underclasses, and give opportunity for neotonic selection.
We can easily demonstrate this by the testosterone levels and endocrine differences between the populations. at present we can demonstrate it in the ten subtypes of personality traits below the big five personality traits, but the universal test of neoteny is IQ, which is a fairly accurate predictor of the reduction and intensity of sexual maturity produced by neotonic selection.
This is the most parsimonious explanation of the variation in racial (latitudinal), sub racial (generation), and tribal and class difference in the world. It means, that just as Belyaev’s Foxes, we can speciate extremely quickly, within a few generations if we select only for neotonic (calmness). Which turns out is producible by as simple a thing as reducing testosterone. Possibly even accounting for eye and hair color variation – although that is still an open question.
So,
(a) left, socialist, communist, equalitarian produces r-selection and r-selection moral intuitions (what we call beta or feminine or child-driven) and (b) right, aristocratic, meritocratic, egalitarian, k-selection (alpha or male, or tribe-driven) evolutionary strategies are all we are ever arguing about.
All our prattle is just negotiation on behalf of our genes.
So, just as the copernican revolution was profoundly humiliating the current revolution in biology and social sciences is profoundly humiliating.
The world is a very simple thing: reduce underclasses and then the middle to upper classes will work together just fine. But because below about 105, people start becoming a burden, the primary problem we face, and the world faces, is not global warming, or pollution, but finding some way to morally cull populations under 105 (current measure) by a one-child policy for long enough that we equilibrate the vast underclasses with the advanced civilizations. Otehrwise the problem of india is going to be the world;s problem -everywhere.
