—“Are Caucasian people more tolerant to colder climatic conditions than people with a higher concentration of melanin? If so, why?”—

(from my post on quora)

Thank you for asking the question.

As far as I know, not really. It’s more that black people are more tolerant of heat and heat has a calming effect on us, and cold lets us work longer and harder. So body type and interests determine cold tolerance. But let’s go through the explanation of why.

The human form evolved to run for long periods, exhaust prey, and then kill them when exhausted. We then adapted this frame to local climate and resource conditions around the world. ie: pygmies of africa, hobbits of the pacific, the Dutch and the Montenegrins as the tallest.

There are three other factors that heavily influenced post hunter-gatherer evolution of the races: the need for warm climate people to mature early to resist disease, and the benefit of cold climate people to mature slowly making them more compliant when living in close quarters for long periods, and the survivability of those who can’t accumulate and mange capital in agrarian winters.

People of the african race are more tolerant of hot conditions both because of their melanin and because both africans and east asians have more durable skin than whites – that’s why they wrinkle less. People of the african race were preferred for slaves in the plantation colonies because they have a higher resistance to both heat AND malaria – which was killing white workers faster than they could be supplied. People of the inuit are more tolerant of cold conditions because of their limb to torso ratio. White people are more tolerant long term of low light conditions. There is some evidence that people of the african race have lower metabolisms (see research on caloric expenditure of white vs black female students). But otherwise, in general, thinner frames will always tolerate heat better and heavier frames cold better. Or as veterinarians say “In the cold, horses and cows are like baked potatoes, and people are like french fries, but some of us are thicker french fries than others.”

My current understanding is that white temperaments are more suitable to cold conditions. This is due to minor differences in personality traits distributions between the races. For example, while africans are less agreeable they are more prosocial (extroverted). Whites are more agreeable but less emotionally stable, and east asians even more agreeable and less emotionally stable – all of these data are consistent with the difference in neoteny between the races as the primary difference: east asians, whites, and africans – and all the admixtures between them, are at decreasing levels of neoteny (self domestication). and that self domestication is the result of environmental pressures in african, west eurasian, and east asian populations.

NOTE: So, because this is an importance we don’t want to miss: there is somewhat disturbing trade off between neoteny producing more agreeable peaceful people with greater intellectual abilities and a decline in emotional stability by doing so. In other words, there is a balance we must seek. I’m saying this so that my fellow whites understand our women and we understand that there may be no further trade off by further neotonic development.

There are quite a few difference between the races. The problem we have is in differentiating class and race differences. In other words, if you don’t account for genetic class you can misinterpret variations between races that are just differences in the size of the classes. In general, the asians have the smallest underclass – rice farming is brutal, whites have the next smallest underclass, white african admixture (hispanics, arabs) quite a bit larger, and african much larger.

But what does that tell you? Nothing other than that it’s harder for underclasses to survive in cold climates agrarian civilizations, so the primary difference between the races is class size. And the average determines norms in a polity.

Or said less ‘politically correct’ eugenics was the most important truth suppressed in the 20th century and is equal to the church’s suppression of science in the middle ages.
