Kindred Not Clan: Germanic people practiced bilateral descent. Bilateral descent is a system of family lineage in which the relatives on the mother’s side and father’s side are equally important for emotional ties or for transfer of property or wealth. Descent and inheritance are passed equally through both parents. Families trace descent through both parents simultaneously and recognize multiple ancestors. And as a consequence it reduces risk and helps members live in extreme environments because it allows individuals to rely on two sets of families dispersed over a wide area. In other words the Kindred functioned as a micro-state or ‘pico-state’. Extended Families of Residential Nuclear Families: The pre-christian germanics practiced residential nuclear families, but the extended family — the kindred — retained their purpose as ‘insurers’ and as such were the organizing principle both socially and legally in the germanic tribes. The Sippe (Treaty): Sippe is German for “clan, kindred, extended family” – a band or confederation bound by a peace treaty or oath, not primarily restricted to blood relations. The average Sippe likely contained no more than 50 families. One of the functions of the Sippe was regulating use of forests (commons).

Conflict 1: Thesis
The Solution To the Problem of Our Age Requires We Address A Taboo.
THE PROBLEM All institutions lag. Of law (market), state (commons), and religion (tradition), law evolves fastest. But even so, law that is dependent upon tradition, even an empirical tradition, and lacking formal logical foundation, cannot reform without crisis – any more than familes, social organizations, commerical organiztins, the sciences, governments, or religions reform without crisis And we are in civilizational Crisis for just this reason: our law is lagging in reform. The failure of the law of tort to keep pace with inventions in parasitism and predation generates demand for the state to via-positiva impose rules of conduct instead of the law’s via-negativa prohibitions on conduct. The objective of my work the reformation of our traditional, empirical, evolutionary, common law and its foundation in the law of tort, and dependence upon the test of reciprocity into a strictly constructed, formal, operational logic like that of programming. Computers cannot choose and have no instincts of their own, so we program them with what they must do given the operations it is possible for them to perform. Conversely, man can choose and has instincts of his own, we must program man with what they must not do, given the operations it is possible for mankind to perform. If we are successful in evolving norms, we program man by training and environmental exposure with the positive alternatives to those actions we wish to program him not to perform. It is always better to reward the man for doing a good than threaten a man with consequences for doing a bad. And while we adapt our norms to encourage different alternatives to the bad, we have evolved the habit of expressly prohibiting the bad, and codifying those prohibitions in law, and using institutions to enforce those prohibitions. These laws convert social norms by which one can be ostracized to institutional ways by which one can be punished for doing bads. Where that law of Tort (or Trespass, or Property), is dependent upon the logical necessity and empirical evidence of the universal human demand for Reciprocity, and that tests of reciprocity provide man with universal decidability in matters of conflict. And where that demand for Reciprocity includes every action or inaction, and all display, word and deed. That means reciprocity in everything we can pay any cost for, directly or indirectly, by action or inaction, whether private, shared, or commons. And While reciprocity-in-deed is ancient and obvious, the novelty in my work is ( …. scope and speech and display ) in demanding Reciprocity in word, that requires testifiable, warrantable claims for which one is liable. This requirement causes us to pay an even greater self-monitoring cost (what we call agency) than does reciprocity-in-deed. And this has been a problem. We have tolerated free speech when we meant truthful, reciprocal, moral, and constructive speech. science invent techniques of observation (measurement) and logic (measurement), that exhaust our … So when I say that my work in Propertarianism’s P-Logic, and P-Law complete the scientific method, I mean, that the scientific method evolved from, and is an application of, our law of evidentiary testimony, by extending the logic of tort from claims over property disputes, to all claims about the universe, ( … suppressing all false claims not just false claims over …) And that P-Logic and P-Law extend the prohibition on the spectrum of techniques of deception: of Laziness in failure of due diligence against error and bias; undue influence by loading and framing, suggestion and obscurantism,; deception by the three fictionalisms of verbal sophistry-to-idealism, physical magic-to pseudoscience, and imaginary occult to supernaturalism; and outright deceit by false promise, fraud, baiting into hazard. THOUGHT LEADERSHIP As strange as it might seem, there are only two groups of thought leaders in this present world, the Europeans and the Half European Jews we call Ashkenazi. And the Europeans and the Askenazi have polar opposite genetic intuitions, cultural strategies, civilizational ambitions, and designs for man. And to not surprisingly these strategies are as opposite as the male and female reproductive strategies that these civilizations institutionalized as their group strategies – because that is the underlying difference between these group strategies: European Masculine superpredation by military, political, and economic construction, and Semitic Feminine superpredation by social and moral construction to resist it. Why? The difference between male meritocracy producing eugenics, and female equalitarianism producing dysgenics. That’s the underlying conflict between male and female strategies, that is only mitigated by parenthood and monogamy with enough children to unite sex differences in cognition. Or to put in more common terms, the instinct for men to join in a loyal hierarchy, and the instinct of women to preserve ease of manipulation by words and emotions (infantilism) – both instincts are demonstrated as overwhelmingly in the literature as they are by common experience. ( … TITLE … ) While the Aristotelian restoration caused the middle class to re-harmonized common law and rule of law in opposition to (corrupt) church thought and resulted in the anglo empirical restoration, beginning with the “enlightenment”: the French, then German, then Jewish, now Islamic and Chinese counter-revolutions against the anglo empirical, agrarian, financial, commercial, industrial, Darwinian, Scientific, and german second-scientific revolutions, only the Jewish revolution has been successful in surviving: Boaz-Freud-Marx-Lenin-Stalin, Cantor-Bohr, Gramsci-Frankfurt-Neomarxism, and Derrida-Friedan and the postmodernists, Mises-Rand-Rothbard and the libertarians, and the neoconservatives. This Almost exclusively Jewish counter-revolution is reducible to a revolt against Darwin, and Darwin’s implied explanatin for the success of western civilization, Nietzche’s restoration of european ethics, and the opportunity created by the failure of the church to either follow the orthodoxy into ritual, nationalism, and morals of the family, or modernize by completing the natural law project thus retaining the church’s position as a judicial authority over european civilization. Instead they tried to maintain the Augustine and Aquinas attempt to keep the church’s superstition out of direct competition with Aristotelian reason. Ths counter revolution repeats the same technique as the destruction of Roman civlization, it’s arts, letters, philosophy, wisdome, and technology from within by jewish insurrectionists that today we call Christians. But instead of a false promises of life after death, extension of familial love to non-kin, pretense of moral high ground, status from pretense of moral high ground, and freedom from social stimatism of inferiority to the aristocratic classes, in the modern world, the Marxists, Neo Marxists, Postmodernists, anti-male feminists, and human biodiversity science deniers, offer freedom from physical lawas of scarcity, natural laws of self interest and reciprocity, and evolutionary laws of the amorality of man, the domesticatin of man, and regression to the mean, if the evil european males are overthrown and another equalitarian age replaces it – which of course, will require additional false promises until the people have forgotten the meaning of truth itself. In the face of this predominantly jewish counter-revolution against wesetern civlization, the aristocracy, and the nobility, and the classes of the able, have held to their christian faith that the common folk would continue to suppress their wants and impulses, and retain their piety and civility and adherence to tradition despite the new plenty that gave them license. But this project we call democracy and mass consumption in order to defeat communism, failed. Worse, western man’s canon is distributed across hundreds of tomes across hundreds of decades, and as such was practiced as a tradition but not written down in consolidated form accessible to the masses until quite possibly the American constitution – for reasons I’ll explain further in this work. Yet we are faced with the rather obvious evidence of the superiority of western civilization at least since the Romans and Greeks, if not yet sure about the Aryans, but we have failed to preserve it with religion, we have failed to preserve it with philosophy, and we seem to have only preserved it with the military, juridical government, the family, and our juridical law: traditions rather than persuasions or religions. Although all four, in addition to our knowledge of history, have been under attack by the Jewish left, and that third of our population who are willing accomplices, for fourscore and ten years – to borrow a phrase. And the Jewish left and their willing accomplices, in particular, single women, less developed immigrants, and now Islamists – the same people who brought Christianity to Roman civilization and gave us the dark ages rather than roman restoration, and destroyed the great civilizations of the ancient world, So over the past decades as our civilization crumbles from insurrection within, despite postwar suppression by the Jewish left, we’ve seen scientists attempt to rescue our civilization by providing the answers that we ourselves have failed to write down as canon: why did Europeans outperform all other peoples in this world combined, in just a few centuries in the Aryan expansion, a few centuries in the ancient world, and a few centuries in the modern world – and why were the dark ages dark, and why didn’t we have the industrial revolution by within a few hundred years after Aristotle? Thanks to the combination of computers, science, cognitive science – meaning neurology, and genetics, we know some of the answers, but I’m going to try to provide the rest, as well as how to restore our civilization despite the repeated counter-revolutions against it which seek to destroy our civilization once again.
—“Western cultural uniqueness originates from two powerful currents—aristocratic individualism resulting from the Indo-European settlement beginning around 2500 BC, and egalitarian individualism originating from the primordial Northern hunter-gatherers that populated Europe since before the Ice Ages. This article describes the origins and culture of the Indo-Europeans.”– Kevin Macdonald
A look at the literature contains two major arguments: Genetic, cultural, and philosophical. I’m going to do what behavioral economists do, and examine the incentives given the genetic, geographic, demographic, adversarial, institutional, scientific, and technological, differences between peoples and cultures – and treat literature, including philosophy, as largely post-hoc justification. It’s justification for the seizure of incentives that already exist. It’s the incentives that are causal – and not open to the various loadings, framings, obscurantisms and deceits humans so commonly commit to prose. My only substantive improvement on Macdonald and Duchesne will be an explanation of the incentives and resulting institutions and a minor improvement on genetics and cognitive science that have evolved over the past few years. And in doing so we’ll create a coherent and complete story of the evolution of western civilization and why it’s unique, produces excellence, is unrepeatable, and irreplaceable whether genetic, conceptual or institutional – because it’s all three. All intellectuals work from a primary frame. My frame is cognitive science, behavioral economics, methods of argument (language), institutions, and group strategy. This is a ‘constructivist’, ‘operational’, ‘causal’ frame.
Thesis:
The Physics of Mankind: The Most Important Lesson You Can Understand Today
There is no ‘point’ to evolution other than profiting from entropy, and therefore persisting in the defeat of entropy. There is however opportunity in evolution for any that chooses to discover and use it. The framework we’re all looking for is this: 1) human evolution, incrementally exhausted opportunity for adaptability (physical morphological, (distribution of energy in our organs), metabolic, cooperative, social, cognitive, conceptual). The mammalian organism and the primate shape provide a platform for greater exhaustion of opportunity physical opportunity for adaptation. The cortex and braincase for sensation, integration, perception, prediction (imagination), cognition, neural density; exhausting cooperative opportunity through memory, prediction, and intuition for reciprocity; neoteny exhausting the opportunity for the development of agency, and biochemistry is very close to maximizing velocity; and systems of measurement (sciences) exhausting the possibilities for cognitive coherence. Upon solving the remaining sciences what remains is the exhaustion of cellular repairability internally, the opportunities for direct enhancement of physical form through manipulation internally, and the available sources of energy externally. 2) Evolutionary computation by trial and error achieved this adaptation, and adaptation through a distribution (distributed variation) of traits producing a division of reproductive, sensory, perceptual, cognitive, and physical labor, imitation(physical), empathy(emotional), sympathy(mental), and language to serialize information transfer by continuous recursive disambiguation. 3) We have incrementally exhausted physical, social, cognitive, and soon, conceptual methods of adaptability – primarily through the extension of the period of developmental adaptability (neoteny), and through the evolution (development) of variation in languages and paradigms as systems of measurement (all language consists of measurements, and the paradigm we call science (testimony by realism, naturalism, operationalism, rational choice, reciprocity, completeness, and parsimony) is incrementally providing commensurability and coherence across those languages and paradigms, producing a universally commensurable language.) 4) This evolution of cooperation, gated by demand for volition, reciprocity, and proportionality, maintained (physical equilibrium), capitalization, and permitted the evolution of a Pareto distribution of abilities and influences (hierarchy of voluntary cooperation: a market), governed (regulated, computed) by the test of reciprocity within the limits of proportionality. 5) An adversarial (competitive) market is the fastest means of computation of possibility (opportunity for adaptability). An army is the fastest means of implementing changes. A religion is the least adaptive means of computation and implementation. 6) For this reason armies(states), laws(economies), and religions(education) each serve a LIMITED function in producing an INTERTEMPORAL DIVISION OF KNOWLEDGE AND LABOR. Armies when known and urgent, Markets when Unknown and not urgent, and Education to prepare for adaptability to the known and unknown. As such; 7) The european order is the maximum possible method yet known for adaptability at the cost of eugenic suppression of the unproductive, uncooperative, decapitalizing, and destructive. 8) And what we call IQ or intelligence is a measure of adaptability in time. It is the most rapid means of biological adaptability available to life forms. 9) With truth (scientific knowledge) as the most rapid tool of adaptability for applied intelligence. 10) However, given the distribution of the spectrum of cognitive adaptability (intelligence), to utilize the full spectrum of intelligence (maximize capitalization and adaptability) in the resulting division of labor (Pareto, or power law, hierarchy, of voluntary cooperation), conscientiousness is equally important at every point along the curve of adaptability (intelligence, IQ). For this reason, wealth at any point under the adaptability (IQ) curve will be available by the measure of conscientiousness (merit in the voluntary organization of an area under the curve). As such, the variation in intelligence, non-variation in conscientiousness, both serve the reproductive and intertemporal division of labor. While variation in conscientiousness – which we will call self-control, agency, or mindfulness depending on the context, provides utility along the spectrum, intelligence (the rate of adaptation) provides utility as the spectrum of complexity increases. However, the value of intelligence to the polity is not well understood. It conveys certain utilities: (a) greater detection of error, bias, and deceit as complexity increases, (b) greater incentive to profit from the detection of error, bias, and deceit, (c) the economic, social, and political value of those who profit from detection and suppression of error, bias, and deceit. In this sense, while there is certainly via-positiva value to intelligence, there is also via-negativa value to intelligence. And while via-positiva value may create innovation and opportunity, the value of suppressing error, bias, and deceit, appears to be more influential in a population than innovation. This is one of the fundamental lessons to take from western civilization. Because the greater the suppression of error, bias, and deceit, the more the collective population is limited to exploiting opportunities for truth and reciprocity, producing returns along the ENTIRE intellectual, socioal, political spectrum. As such truth provides a multiplier – and while it is the most counter-intuitive, difficult to produce, and expensive norm to create in a population, it is also the norm that provides the highest returns. For this reason, european civilization gravitated to the production of truth while others to harmony (china) or deception and ignorance (semitia).Human Organization
7) There are three means of human coercion (organizing): … a) force (established male, k, capitalizing, conservative, armies, states), … b) remuneration (ascendant male, productive, libertarian, markets), … c) undermining, advocating (female/r/dysgenic, religion). The order in which discovers implements these institutions of coercion, then evolves and exhausts the opportunity for organizing societies by coercion, like any other evolutionary system, binds (limits) subsequent institutions. 8) Western civilization discovered rule of law (libertarian, markets) as the first institution. This discovery resulted in western tri-functionalism: a balance of power between army-state, law-commerce, and religion-family. All other civilizations discovered religion or state first, not law. As such they are not only different but they FAILED. They failed because by that first adaptation they established barriers to future adaptation. This we see the european militia-law and high-trust, the Chinese army-state and low trust, the Hindu religion and state and limited trust and the Semitic religion-vs-state and lowest trust. In effect, we have produced civilizations that specialized in the means of coercion while all other civilizations have failed even worse. 9) This institution of law the organizing foundation of european peoples. It provides the least resistance of a social organization to adaptation, and the most incentive to adapt both preventing negatives, and encouraging positives, by creating an adversarial market for the suppression of injustice (irreciprocity) and an adversarial market for consumption (reciprocity). And it’s the reason we evolved (adapted) FASTER than the rest even if we were not always first. So, Europeans (steppe herders) bypassed the agrarian age and like any leap in technology, one is not anchored by the prior technology (religion, agrarianism). It is this advantage that the world hates and wants to draw us backward.Religion
Most conservatives and I differ on Christianity for this reason. Christianity was a useful means of extending the pagan pantheon such that peasants, women, children, serfs, and slaves had access to social status as material life improved under Roman commercial rule, especially since they were the one’s being domesticated through suppression of their reproduction. And especially for Semites who were familial, tribal, and practiced deceit as honorable (cunning) despite its consequences for the commons. However, as monotheistic, and constructed of the Abrahamic method of lying, Christianity sought to produce that status by dragging western civilization down into the ignorance and superstition of the middle east’s early religion and farmers and to reverse the european revolution in social organization, economic organization, political organization and thought (intellectual adaptation). There is zero difference in technique between the ‘bolshevik‘ Christianization of Rome, the bolshevik undermining of Spain, the bolshevik undermining of the Ukrainian Peoples (Pale), the bolshevik undermining of Germany, the bolshevik revolution in Russia, the postwar bolshevik revolution in America and Europe today, and the ‘safe haven’ for bolshevism provided by France (Paris), New York, Los Angeles, an London. There is no difference whatsoever between the supernatural deceits of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and the pseudoscientific deceits of anti-science by Boaz, Freud, Marx, anti-markets by communism, socialism, and Keynesianism, anti culturalism by Gramsci-Adorno-Fromm’s neo-marxism, Friedan’s anti-male Jewish feminism, Derrida and Foucault’s sophistry with anti-scientific anti-truth Postmodernism and HBD Denialism, and anti-state and anti-commons rand-Rothbardian libertarianism, or anti-self-determination by Strauss, Kristol, and yes, Soros. The origins of organized religion on the steppe of the east Aryans, the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim revolts in the deserts, and the Jewish and Islamic revolts in the industrial age, are all variations on the same strategy: reversing adversarial( competitive-cooperative) evolution (adaptability) by continuous improvement of human adaptability, in physical, cognitive, informational, personal, interpersonal, social, economic, political, educational, and military spheres of opportunity for adaptation. This continuous ‘Bolshevik revolution’ (generalizing the specific term to apply to the historical strategy) seeks to reverse human evolution and produce yet another Jewish-Islamic-Christian dark age, as part of its thousands of years of revolt against the european (indo european) revolution in human evolution that produced markets in every aspect of life, producing rule of law, producing, reason, science, medicine, technology, and most importantly continuous eugenic evolution by the upward redistribution of reproduction that prevents regression to the mean (70’s). Why, because just as females seek to maintain infantilization of their offspring in order to maintain ease of control, the Semitic group strategy is to undermine host populations by the Abrahamic technique, weaponizing the strategy of females (seduction).Neotenic Self Domestication
1-There are three human (H.Sapiens) races (subspecies). These subspecies adapted geographically. Their direction of adaptation is neotenic. Neoteny allows agency (cognitive adaptability), permitting the sequential social, linguistic (cognitive), and technical revolutions. 1 – The primary difference between human groups is the degree of neoteny. Neoteny preserves opportunity for developmental growth allowing for the development of the increasing agency. Neoteny is the product of selection for cooperation. intelligence is a byproduct of selecting for cooperation producing neoteny. 2-The climate in Africa and the population distribution resisted neotenic evolution. The climate in west Eurasia and distribution accelerated neotenic evolution. The climate in east Asian and limited distribution acclerated neotenic evolution. Groups speciated further. 3-The Agrarian revolution was a significant caloric advantage but homogenized populations. The cline in Asia was southward and beneficial, but in Eurasia was north and regressive. The Steppe revolution was a significant cultural advantage and homogenized populations(IE). 4-The manorial revolutions in northern Europe and northern China were a significant political revolution, restoring natural selection under agrarianism. The industrial revolution provided expansion but reversed natural (Neotenic) selection and was regressive. 5-The evolution of man is the story of the neotenic self-domestication of man, and the subsequent domestication of territories, plants, animals, metals, chemistry and now physical properties.
Human Groups
2 – Some groups have been the victim of circumstance that favored neotenic evolution. Some groups institutionalized neotenic evolution (eugenics) by accident. Some groups institutionalize neotenic evolution by design (eugenics). 3 – Class structures are the natural result of the competition between neotenic development, genetic load, health, and environment, with measurable consequences we call biological symmetry, absence of neuroticism(calm), conscientiousness, and intelligence. Class is the term we use for the spectrum of sexual, social, economic, political, military, and strategic market value. 4 – Any group that institutionalizes neotenic evolution (eugenics) will benefit from the fact that eugenics are the single most influential and desirable factor determining group quality of material life. Dysgenics are the single most desirable factor opposing material life in exchange for psychological life. Markets are naturally eugenic. Religion is the opposite. And serves largely to sedate us against evolutionary pressures as populations increase and with it, anonymity, irrelevance, and alienation. 5 – The second most influential difference between groups is the order of institutions. Europeans, for entirely environmental reasons, were the only people to develop Law – meaning the natural law(under our control) of tort (consisting of self-determination, sovereignty, property, and reciprocity) as their first social and political institution, instead of religion (out of our control) or state (under their control). And law is a purely empirical means of social organization. As we shall see, the order of institutional development like any evolutionary process creates evolutionary dependencies, that determine the future of civilizations. (See: Path Dependence) Law is the least evolutionarily contradictory political institution. Just as commerce is the least evolutionarily contradictory social order. Just as the Military is the least evolutionarily contradictory extra-political order. Just as science (Testimony) is the least evolutionarily contradictory intellectual order. 6 – The third most influential difference between groups is their ‘metaphysics’ or set of ‘paradigms’. Europeans, and specifically European aristocratic (Ruling) classes, for those entirely environmental reasons, and having developed empirical law as their first institution were alone the only people to discover, adapt to, and apply the physical, natural, and evolutionary laws of the universe. Despite the extraordinary high psychological cost of doing so. And the one cost East Asians alone would bear as well: the suppression of the reproduction of the underclasses and the direction of the surpluses to the production of commons. And in doing so dragged mankind kicking and screaming out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, suffering, early mortality, in just a few centuries in the early bronze age, a few centuries in the ancient world, and a few centuries in the modern world – while the middle east stagnated then declined in dysgenia, the Indians were unable to transform the continent, the Chinese, luckily isolated from the middle east succeeded then stagnated, leaving Europeans as the only people to succeed in the transition out of victimization by nature, and the universe, and instead to domesticate it. 7 – The fourth most influential difference between groups is their evolutionary strategy. ( … ) group strategies 6-The standard of living of civilizations is (was until 1950) a measure of the DENIAL of the physical, natural, and evolutionary laws of the universe, with the Europeans practicing the LEAST denial. 7 – If people have not passed thru sufficient neotenic domestication to survive by natural selection in markets(in the absence of immigration) then they are unfit for western civilization the entire structure of which is evolutionary.
Hostilities
8-The Left-Jewish-Islamist counter-revolution is DEVOLUTIONARY resistance to market domestication. Judaism to undermine, Christianity to weaken, Islam to reverse evolution. At present only China and the Slavs have the political system and will to resist devolution. 7 – Devolutionary Revolt: Both the Abrahamic Counter Revolutions of Christianity, Rabbinical Judaism, and Islam in the ancient world, and the Abrahamic counter-revolutions of Marxism, Bolshevism, Socialism, Postmodernism, Anti-Male Feminism, Human Difference Science Denialism, Political Correctness, and Anti-Westernism in the modern world, are revolts against the natural eugenics of the Aristocratic (European, Persian) peoples. The Abrahamic counter-revolution against the physical, natural, and evolutionary laws, proposes the opposite circumstance: the expansion of the underclasses, and the deprivation of the commons, and a parasitic elite that benefits from capturing mankind in stagnation and decline. 8 – Just as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam brought about the first Abrahamic dark age of ignorance superstition, dysgenia, destruction, and eventual decline, the second Abrahamic dark age is in progress using the false promise of freedom from physical, natural, and evolutionary laws, and with the same results as every other civilization affected by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: devolution by dysgenia and decline. 9 – Every group develops a strategy, mythology, paradigm (metaphysics), methodology of persuasion, and perpetuates it across generations. We are unconscious of these differences. But just as we can be universally taught logic, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and economics, we can be taught how to speak truthfully, how to identify lies and frauds, and how to find mindfulness in truth and community rather than falsehood and deceits. 10 – It is possible to use common law of tort to prevent false promises in psychological, social, economic, and political fraud( informational) just as we prevent it in commercial (advertising, marketing, sales). And it is possible to institutionalize the suppression of that specific kind of fraud (baiting into hazard) just as we institutionalize the suppression of other kinds of baiting into hazard at the interpersonal scale (drugs, prostitution, crime, etc. 11 – It is possible to prevent another dark age, and possible to prevent the civil war that many of us are determined to wage to prevent that dark age if we cannot prevent it by more agreeable political means: peaceful separation, and restoration of the process of speciation.
The European Method of Truth
( … )The Abrahamic Method of Deceit
The Institutionalization of Abrahamic Method of Deceit Militarizes the Female Means of Undermining as a Competitive Strategy. The false, unwarrantable, promise of freedom from the laws of the universe: … physical (scarcity) laws, … natural (reciprocity) laws, … evolutionary (regression to the mean) laws, thus: … baiting less able peoples into hazard (harm), … A harm advocated by Pilpul (sophistry, pseudoscience, supernaturalism), … Defended by Critique (undermining, not refuting, not providing competitive solution), … Evading Warranty, Escaping Liability and … By Deliberate Avoidance of Due Diligence, … by Pretense of Plausible Deniability, Given: … the Asymmetry of Knowledge, … the Presence of Malincentives by both Agent(s) and Victim(s); … And Pursued for the Purpose of Attention, Reward (profit), Influence(power), Undermining (Power), of the Trust and Cooperation, of: … a Host Population in Normal Distribution, Thereby Generating: … Accelerating Cycles of Internal Conflict, … Generating Demand for Authority to Control by the Hazard Maker. The Semites, led by the Jews and their Abrahamic method of deception, which is as advanced a method of deceit as Aristotelianism is of truth, have spent thousands of years institutionalizing deception, fraud, organized crime, and in particular, organized crime against THE COMMONS (physical assets, formal and informal institutions) of host peoples. The purpose of their undermining is to reverse the high trust, and competitive advantage of superior peoples who developed eugenic civilization, that continues the adaptive progress of mankind. The Semites are not just different, they are not just worse, they are the and greatest cancer among the human populations. They are devolutionary. And their method of infection of the cognitively weak is as successful as the viruses we cannot defeat either. They are the origin of, and agents of, the Great Filter: the end of mankind.Solutions
My goal is not, like the over 100 other countries in history, to expunge Abrahamists from politics (Christians) or from the market, society, and polity, (Jews, Muslims), or to kill them off, but instead to increase the scope of our laws to suppress the Abrahamic method of deceit by articulating the Aristotelian method of truth, such that all speech in public to the public in matters public must be truthful. If this is accomplished then it will be impossible for the jews, Christians, and Muslims using supernaturalism, or platonists with idealism, or Marxists, neo-Marxists, postmodernists, and difference, denialists to spread the Abrahamic false promises by the Abrahamic method of deceit. If instead of just grammar, logic, and rhetoric, we teach grammar, logic, testimony, and rhetoric, and we add basic economics and basic logic of the natural law of reciprocity, then within two generations we will achieve in psychological and social science what we have in physical sciences: the incremental eradication of the three primary methods of lying, the fictionalisms: supernaturalism (imaginary occult), super-normalism (verbal idealism and sophistry), and super-physicalism (physical magic and pseudoscience). This is an opportunity to bring the revolution in greek empiricism, in British science, German-American technology, and American biology, into a reformation of the linguistic, psychological, and social sciences, and to return western civilization to its continuous leadership of mankind out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, diseased, and yes… DYSGENIA. We can continue to drag mankind kicking and screaming out of ignorance, superstition, despotism, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, suffering, disability, child mortality, early death, and the victimhood of a nature all but hostile to human life, at the geological, solar, galactic, and universal levels. And from there continue our ascent into the gods we imagine. Or we can have another dark age because that is what Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and their revisions in marxism, socialism, neo-marxism, postmodernism, anti-male feminism, and human difference denial seek to bring about through the restoration of ignorance, sophistry, superstition, pseudoscience, and dysgenia that destroy the information system that man depends upon to pass the Great Filter.Understanding
—“ A wisdom literature provides advice for decisions and choices within the limits of a group’s evolutionary strategy within a group using that evolutionary strategy. A Theology provides an authoritarian wisdom literature, by false promise and false threat, conflating wisdom and law between competing group evolutionary strategies. An ideology serves to inspire individuals to action under democracy. A philosophy provides methods of choice in order to achieve a desired state of affairs. A formal logic provides language and grammar for the testing (falsification) of the internal consistency of verbal relations. A science provides a formal process(logical and physical instrumentation) decidability for the elimination of ignorance, error, bias, and deceit from our claims. Strictly constructed Natural Law unite formal logic and formal science to provide decidability in matters of dispute. ”— Curt Doolittle, The Propertarian Institute, Kyiv, Ukraine.

Conflict 1: Thesis
The Solution To the Problem of Our Age Requires We Address A Taboo.
THE PROBLEM All institutions lag. Of law (market), state (commons), and religion (tradition), law evolves fastest. But even so, law that is dependent upon tradition, even an empirical tradition, and lacking formal logical foundation, cannot reform without crisis – any more than familes, social organizations, commerical organiztins, the sciences, governments, or religions reform without crisis And we are in civilizational Crisis for just this reason: our law is lagging in reform. The failure of the law of tort to keep pace with inventions in parasitism and predation generates demand for the state to via-positiva impose rules of conduct instead of the law’s via-negativa prohibitions on conduct. The objective of my work the reformation of our traditional, empirical, evolutionary, common law and its foundation in the law of tort, and dependence upon the test of reciprocity into a strictly constructed, formal, operational logic like that of programming. Computers cannot choose and have no instincts of their own, so we program them with what they must do given the operations it is possible for them to perform. Conversely, man can choose and has instincts of his own, we must program man with what they must not do, given the operations it is possible for mankind to perform. If we are successful in evolving norms, we program man by training and environmental exposure with the positive alternatives to those actions we wish to program him not to perform. It is always better to reward the man for doing a good than threaten a man with consequences for doing a bad. And while we adapt our norms to encourage different alternatives to the bad, we have evolved the habit of expressly prohibiting the bad, and codifying those prohibitions in law, and using institutions to enforce those prohibitions. These laws convert social norms by which one can be ostracized to institutional ways by which one can be punished for doing bads. Where that law of Tort (or Trespass, or Property), is dependent upon the logical necessity and empirical evidence of the universal human demand for Reciprocity, and that tests of reciprocity provide man with universal decidability in matters of conflict. And where that demand for Reciprocity includes every action or inaction, and all display, word and deed. That means reciprocity in everything we can pay any cost for, directly or indirectly, by action or inaction, whether private, shared, or commons. And While reciprocity-in-deed is ancient and obvious, the novelty in my work is ( …. scope and speech and display ) in demanding Reciprocity in word, that requires testifiable, warrantable claims for which one is liable. This requirement causes us to pay an even greater self-monitoring cost (what we call agency) than does reciprocity-in-deed. And this has been a problem. We have tolerated free speech when we meant truthful, reciprocal, moral, and constructive speech. science invent techniques of observation (measurement) and logic (measurement), that exhaust our … So when I say that my work in Propertarianism’s P-Logic, and P-Law complete the scientific method, I mean, that the scientific method evolved from, and is an application of, our law of evidentiary testimony, by extending the logic of tort from claims over property disputes, to all claims about the universe, ( … suppressing all false claims not just false claims over …) And that P-Logic and P-Law extend the prohibition on the spectrum of techniques of deception: of Laziness in failure of due diligence against error and bias; undue influence by loading and framing, suggestion and obscurantism,; deception by the three fictionalisms of verbal sophistry-to-idealism, physical magic-to pseudoscience, and imaginary occult to supernaturalism; and outright deceit by false promise, fraud, baiting into hazard. THOUGHT LEADERSHIP As strange as it might seem, there are only two groups of thought leaders in this present world, the Europeans and the Half European Jews we call Ashkenazi. And the Europeans and the Askenazi have polar opposite genetic intuitions, cultural strategies, civilizational ambitions, and designs for man. And to not surprisingly these strategies are as opposite as the male and female reproductive strategies that these civilizations institutionalized as their group strategies – because that is the underlying difference between these group strategies: European Masculine superpredation by military, political, and economic construction, and Semitic Feminine superpredation by social and moral construction to resist it. Why? The difference between male meritocracy producing eugenics, and female equalitarianism producing dysgenics. That’s the underlying conflict between male and female strategies, that is only mitigated by parenthood and monogamy with enough children to unite sex differences in cognition. Or to put in more common terms, the instinct for men to join in a loyal hierarchy, and the instinct of women to preserve ease of manipulation by words and emotions (infantilism) – both instincts are demonstrated as overwhelmingly in the literature as they are by common experience. ( … TITLE … ) While the Aristotelian restoration caused the middle class to re-harmonized common law and rule of law in opposition to (corrupt) church thought and resulted in the anglo empirical restoration, beginning with the “enlightenment”: the French, then German, then Jewish, now Islamic and Chinese counter-revolutions against the anglo empirical, agrarian, financial, commercial, industrial, Darwinian, Scientific, and german second-scientific revolutions, only the Jewish revolution has been successful in surviving: Boaz-Freud-Marx-Lenin-Stalin, Cantor-Bohr, Gramsci-Frankfurt-Neomarxism, and Derrida-Friedan and the postmodernists, Mises-Rand-Rothbard and the libertarians, and the neoconservatives. This Almost exclusively Jewish counter-revolution is reducible to a revolt against Darwin, and Darwin’s implied explanatin for the success of western civilization, Nietzche’s restoration of european ethics, and the opportunity created by the failure of the church to either follow the orthodoxy into ritual, nationalism, and morals of the family, or modernize by completing the natural law project thus retaining the church’s position as a judicial authority over european civilization. Instead they tried to maintain the Augustine and Aquinas attempt to keep the church’s superstition out of direct competition with Aristotelian reason. Ths counter revolution repeats the same technique as the destruction of Roman civlization, it’s arts, letters, philosophy, wisdome, and technology from within by jewish insurrectionists that today we call Christians. But instead of a false promises of life after death, extension of familial love to non-kin, pretense of moral high ground, status from pretense of moral high ground, and freedom from social stimatism of inferiority to the aristocratic classes, in the modern world, the Marxists, Neo Marxists, Postmodernists, anti-male feminists, and human biodiversity science deniers, offer freedom from physical lawas of scarcity, natural laws of self interest and reciprocity, and evolutionary laws of the amorality of man, the domesticatin of man, and regression to the mean, if the evil european males are overthrown and another equalitarian age replaces it – which of course, will require additional false promises until the people have forgotten the meaning of truth itself. In the face of this predominantly jewish counter-revolution against wesetern civlization, the aristocracy, and the nobility, and the classes of the able, have held to their christian faith that the common folk would continue to suppress their wants and impulses, and retain their piety and civility and adherence to tradition despite the new plenty that gave them license. But this project we call democracy and mass consumption in order to defeat communism, failed. Worse, western man’s canon is distributed across hundreds of tomes across hundreds of decades, and as such was practiced as a tradition but not written down in consolidated form accessible to the masses until quite possibly the American constitution – for reasons I’ll explain further in this work. Yet we are faced with the rather obvious evidence of the superiority of western civilization at least since the Romans and Greeks, if not yet sure about the Aryans, but we have failed to preserve it with religion, we have failed to preserve it with philosophy, and we seem to have only preserved it with the military, juridical government, the family, and our juridical law: traditions rather than persuasions or religions. Although all four, in addition to our knowledge of history, have been under attack by the Jewish left, and that third of our population who are willing accomplices, for fourscore and ten years – to borrow a phrase. And the Jewish left and their willing accomplices, in particular, single women, less developed immigrants, and now Islamists – the same people who brought Christianity to Roman civilization and gave us the dark ages rather than roman restoration, and destroyed the great civilizations of the ancient world, So over the past decades as our civilization crumbles from insurrection within, despite postwar suppression by the Jewish left, we’ve seen scientists attempt to rescue our civilization by providing the answers that we ourselves have failed to write down as canon: why did Europeans outperform all other peoples in this world combined, in just a few centuries in the Aryan expansion, a few centuries in the ancient world, and a few centuries in the modern world – and why were the dark ages dark, and why didn’t we have the industrial revolution by within a few hundred years after Aristotle? Thanks to the combination of computers, science, cognitive science – meaning neurology, and genetics, we know some of the answers, but I’m going to try to provide the rest, as well as how to restore our civilization despite the repeated counter-revolutions against it which seek to destroy our civilization once again.
—“Western cultural uniqueness originates from two powerful currents—aristocratic individualism resulting from the Indo-European settlement beginning around 2500 BC, and egalitarian individualism originating from the primordial Northern hunter-gatherers that populated Europe since before the Ice Ages. This article describes the origins and culture of the Indo-Europeans.”– Kevin Macdonald
A look at the literature contains two major arguments: Genetic, cultural, and philosophical. I’m going to do what behavioral economists do, and examine the incentives given the genetic, geographic, demographic, adversarial, institutional, scientific, and technological, differences between peoples and cultures – and treat literature, including philosophy, as largely post-hoc justification. It’s justification for the seizure of incentives that already exist. It’s the incentives that are causal – and not open to the various loadings, framings, obscurantisms and deceits humans so commonly commit to prose. My only substantive improvement on Macdonald and Duchesne will be an explanation of the incentives and resulting institutions and a minor improvement on genetics and cognitive science that have evolved over the past few years. And in doing so we’ll create a coherent and complete story of the evolution of western civilization and why it’s unique, produces excellence, is unrepeatable, and irreplaceable whether genetic, conceptual or institutional – because it’s all three. All intellectuals work from a primary frame. My frame is cognitive science, behavioral economics, methods of argument (language), institutions, and group strategy. This is a ‘constructivist’, ‘operational’, ‘causal’ frame.
Thesis:
The Physics of Mankind: The Most Important Lesson You Can Understand Today
There is no ‘point’ to evolution other than profiting from entropy, and therefore persisting in the defeat of entropy. There is however opportunity in evolution for any that chooses to discover and use it. The framework we’re all looking for is this: 1) human evolution, incrementally exhausted opportunity for adaptability (physical morphological, (distribution of energy in our organs), metabolic, cooperative, social, cognitive, conceptual). The mammalian organism and the primate shape provide a platform for greater exhaustion of opportunity physical opportunity for adaptation. The cortex and braincase for sensation, integration, perception, prediction (imagination), cognition, neural density; exhausting cooperative opportunity through memory, prediction, and intuition for reciprocity; neoteny exhausting the opportunity for the development of agency, and biochemistry is very close to maximizing velocity; and systems of measurement (sciences) exhausting the possibilities for cognitive coherence. Upon solving the remaining sciences what remains is the exhaustion of cellular repairability internally, the opportunities for direct enhancement of physical form through manipulation internally, and the available sources of energy externally. 2) Evolutionary computation by trial and error achieved this adaptation, and adaptation through a distribution (distributed variation) of traits producing a division of reproductive, sensory, perceptual, cognitive, and physical labor, imitation(physical), empathy(emotional), sympathy(mental), and language to serialize information transfer by continuous recursive disambiguation. 3) We have incrementally exhausted physical, social, cognitive, and soon, conceptual methods of adaptability – primarily through the extension of the period of developmental adaptability (neoteny), and through the evolution (development) of variation in languages and paradigms as systems of measurement (all language consists of measurements, and the paradigm we call science (testimony by realism, naturalism, operationalism, rational choice, reciprocity, completeness, and parsimony) is incrementally providing commensurability and coherence across those languages and paradigms, producing a universally commensurable language.) 4) This evolution of cooperation, gated by demand for volition, reciprocity, and proportionality, maintained (physical equilibrium), capitalization, and permitted the evolution of a Pareto distribution of abilities and influences (hierarchy of voluntary cooperation: a market), governed (regulated, computed) by the test of reciprocity within the limits of proportionality. 5) An adversarial (competitive) market is the fastest means of computation of possibility (opportunity for adaptability). An army is the fastest means of implementing changes. A religion is the least adaptive means of computation and implementation. 6) For this reason armies(states), laws(economies), and religions(education) each serve a LIMITED function in producing an INTERTEMPORAL DIVISION OF KNOWLEDGE AND LABOR. Armies when known and urgent, Markets when Unknown and not urgent, and Education to prepare for adaptability to the known and unknown. As such; 7) The european order is the maximum possible method yet known for adaptability at the cost of eugenic suppression of the unproductive, uncooperative, decapitalizing, and destructive. 8) And what we call IQ or intelligence is a measure of adaptability in time. It is the most rapid means of biological adaptability available to life forms. 9) With truth (scientific knowledge) as the most rapid tool of adaptability for applied intelligence. 10) However, given the distribution of the spectrum of cognitive adaptability (intelligence), to utilize the full spectrum of intelligence (maximize capitalization and adaptability) in the resulting division of labor (Pareto, or power law, hierarchy, of voluntary cooperation), conscientiousness is equally important at every point along the curve of adaptability (intelligence, IQ). For this reason, wealth at any point under the adaptability (IQ) curve will be available by the measure of conscientiousness (merit in the voluntary organization of an area under the curve). As such, the variation in intelligence, non-variation in conscientiousness, both serve the reproductive and intertemporal division of labor. While variation in conscientiousness – which we will call self-control, agency, or mindfulness depending on the context, provides utility along the spectrum, intelligence (the rate of adaptation) provides utility as the spectrum of complexity increases. However, the value of intelligence to the polity is not well understood. It conveys certain utilities: (a) greater detection of error, bias, and deceit as complexity increases, (b) greater incentive to profit from the detection of error, bias, and deceit, (c) the economic, social, and political value of those who profit from detection and suppression of error, bias, and deceit. In this sense, while there is certainly via-positiva value to intelligence, there is also via-negativa value to intelligence. And while via-positiva value may create innovation and opportunity, the value of suppressing error, bias, and deceit, appears to be more influential in a population than innovation. This is one of the fundamental lessons to take from western civilization. Because the greater the suppression of error, bias, and deceit, the more the collective population is limited to exploiting opportunities for truth and reciprocity, producing returns along the ENTIRE intellectual, socioal, political spectrum. As such truth provides a multiplier – and while it is the most counter-intuitive, difficult to produce, and expensive norm to create in a population, it is also the norm that provides the highest returns. For this reason, european civilization gravitated to the production of truth while others to harmony (china) or deception and ignorance (semitia).Human Organization
7) There are three means of human coercion (organizing): … a) force (established male, k, capitalizing, conservative, armies, states), … b) remuneration (ascendant male, productive, libertarian, markets), … c) undermining, advocating (female/r/dysgenic, religion). The order in which discovers implements these institutions of coercion, then evolves and exhausts the opportunity for organizing societies by coercion, like any other evolutionary system, binds (limits) subsequent institutions. 8) Western civilization discovered rule of law (libertarian, markets) as the first institution. This discovery resulted in western tri-functionalism: a balance of power between army-state, law-commerce, and religion-family. All other civilizations discovered religion or state first, not law. As such they are not only different but they FAILED. They failed because by that first adaptation they established barriers to future adaptation. This we see the european militia-law and high-trust, the Chinese army-state and low trust, the Hindu religion and state and limited trust and the Semitic religion-vs-state and lowest trust. In effect, we have produced civilizations that specialized in the means of coercion while all other civilizations have failed even worse. 9) This institution of law the organizing foundation of european peoples. It provides the least resistance of a social organization to adaptation, and the most incentive to adapt both preventing negatives, and encouraging positives, by creating an adversarial market for the suppression of injustice (irreciprocity) and an adversarial market for consumption (reciprocity). And it’s the reason we evolved (adapted) FASTER than the rest even if we were not always first. So, Europeans (steppe herders) bypassed the agrarian age and like any leap in technology, one is not anchored by the prior technology (religion, agrarianism). It is this advantage that the world hates and wants to draw us backward.Religion
Most conservatives and I differ on Christianity for this reason. Christianity was a useful means of extending the pagan pantheon such that peasants, women, children, serfs, and slaves had access to social status as material life improved under Roman commercial rule, especially since they were the one’s being domesticated through suppression of their reproduction. And especially for Semites who were familial, tribal, and practiced deceit as honorable (cunning) despite its consequences for the commons. However, as monotheistic, and constructed of the Abrahamic method of lying, Christianity sought to produce that status by dragging western civilization down into the ignorance and superstition of the middle east’s early religion and farmers and to reverse the european revolution in social organization, economic organization, political organization and thought (intellectual adaptation). There is zero difference in technique between the ‘bolshevik‘ Christianization of Rome, the bolshevik undermining of Spain, the bolshevik undermining of the Ukrainian Peoples (Pale), the bolshevik undermining of Germany, the bolshevik revolution in Russia, the postwar bolshevik revolution in America and Europe today, and the ‘safe haven’ for bolshevism provided by France (Paris), New York, Los Angeles, an London. There is no difference whatsoever between the supernatural deceits of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and the pseudoscientific deceits of anti-science by Boaz, Freud, Marx, anti-markets by communism, socialism, and Keynesianism, anti culturalism by Gramsci-Adorno-Fromm’s neo-marxism, Friedan’s anti-male Jewish feminism, Derrida and Foucault’s sophistry with anti-scientific anti-truth Postmodernism and HBD Denialism, and anti-state and anti-commons rand-Rothbardian libertarianism, or anti-self-determination by Strauss, Kristol, and yes, Soros. The origins of organized religion on the steppe of the east Aryans, the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim revolts in the deserts, and the Jewish and Islamic revolts in the industrial age, are all variations on the same strategy: reversing adversarial( competitive-cooperative) evolution (adaptability) by continuous improvement of human adaptability, in physical, cognitive, informational, personal, interpersonal, social, economic, political, educational, and military spheres of opportunity for adaptation. This continuous ‘Bolshevik revolution’ (generalizing the specific term to apply to the historical strategy) seeks to reverse human evolution and produce yet another Jewish-Islamic-Christian dark age, as part of its thousands of years of revolt against the european (indo european) revolution in human evolution that produced markets in every aspect of life, producing rule of law, producing, reason, science, medicine, technology, and most importantly continuous eugenic evolution by the upward redistribution of reproduction that prevents regression to the mean (70’s). Why, because just as females seek to maintain infantilization of their offspring in order to maintain ease of control, the Semitic group strategy is to undermine host populations by the Abrahamic technique, weaponizing the strategy of females (seduction).Neotenic Self Domestication
1-There are three human (H.Sapiens) races (subspecies). These subspecies adapted geographically. Their direction of adaptation is neotenic. Neoteny allows agency (cognitive adaptability), permitting the sequential social, linguistic (cognitive), and technical revolutions. 1 – The primary difference between human groups is the degree of neoteny. Neoteny preserves opportunity for developmental growth allowing for the development of the increasing agency. Neoteny is the product of selection for cooperation. intelligence is a byproduct of selecting for cooperation producing neoteny. 2-The climate in Africa and the population distribution resisted neotenic evolution. The climate in west Eurasia and distribution accelerated neotenic evolution. The climate in east Asian and limited distribution acclerated neotenic evolution. Groups speciated further. 3-The Agrarian revolution was a significant caloric advantage but homogenized populations. The cline in Asia was southward and beneficial, but in Eurasia was north and regressive. The Steppe revolution was a significant cultural advantage and homogenized populations(IE). 4-The manorial revolutions in northern Europe and northern China were a significant political revolution, restoring natural selection under agrarianism. The industrial revolution provided expansion but reversed natural (Neotenic) selection and was regressive. 5-The evolution of man is the story of the neotenic self-domestication of man, and the subsequent domestication of territories, plants, animals, metals, chemistry and now physical properties.
Human Groups
2 – Some groups have been the victim of circumstance that favored neotenic evolution. Some groups institutionalized neotenic evolution (eugenics) by accident. Some groups institutionalize neotenic evolution by design (eugenics). 3 – Class structures are the natural result of the competition between neotenic development, genetic load, health, and environment, with measurable consequences we call biological symmetry, absence of neuroticism(calm), conscientiousness, and intelligence. Class is the term we use for the spectrum of sexual, social, economic, political, military, and strategic market value. 4 – Any group that institutionalizes neotenic evolution (eugenics) will benefit from the fact that eugenics are the single most influential and desirable factor determining group quality of material life. Dysgenics are the single most desirable factor opposing material life in exchange for psychological life. Markets are naturally eugenic. Religion is the opposite. And serves largely to sedate us against evolutionary pressures as populations increase and with it, anonymity, irrelevance, and alienation. 5 – The second most influential difference between groups is the order of institutions. Europeans, for entirely environmental reasons, were the only people to develop Law – meaning the natural law(under our control) of tort (consisting of self-determination, sovereignty, property, and reciprocity) as their first social and political institution, instead of religion (out of our control) or state (under their control). And law is a purely empirical means of social organization. As we shall see, the order of institutional development like any evolutionary process creates evolutionary dependencies, that determine the future of civilizations. (See: Path Dependence) Law is the least evolutionarily contradictory political institution. Just as commerce is the least evolutionarily contradictory social order. Just as the Military is the least evolutionarily contradictory extra-political order. Just as science (Testimony) is the least evolutionarily contradictory intellectual order. 6 – The third most influential difference between groups is their ‘metaphysics’ or set of ‘paradigms’. Europeans, and specifically European aristocratic (Ruling) classes, for those entirely environmental reasons, and having developed empirical law as their first institution were alone the only people to discover, adapt to, and apply the physical, natural, and evolutionary laws of the universe. Despite the extraordinary high psychological cost of doing so. And the one cost East Asians alone would bear as well: the suppression of the reproduction of the underclasses and the direction of the surpluses to the production of commons. And in doing so dragged mankind kicking and screaming out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, suffering, early mortality, in just a few centuries in the early bronze age, a few centuries in the ancient world, and a few centuries in the modern world – while the middle east stagnated then declined in dysgenia, the Indians were unable to transform the continent, the Chinese, luckily isolated from the middle east succeeded then stagnated, leaving Europeans as the only people to succeed in the transition out of victimization by nature, and the universe, and instead to domesticate it. 7 – The fourth most influential difference between groups is their evolutionary strategy. ( … ) group strategies 6-The standard of living of civilizations is (was until 1950) a measure of the DENIAL of the physical, natural, and evolutionary laws of the universe, with the Europeans practicing the LEAST denial. 7 – If people have not passed thru sufficient neotenic domestication to survive by natural selection in markets(in the absence of immigration) then they are unfit for western civilization the entire structure of which is evolutionary.
Hostilities
8-The Left-Jewish-Islamist counter-revolution is DEVOLUTIONARY resistance to market domestication. Judaism to undermine, Christianity to weaken, Islam to reverse evolution. At present only China and the Slavs have the political system and will to resist devolution. 7 – Devolutionary Revolt: Both the Abrahamic Counter Revolutions of Christianity, Rabbinical Judaism, and Islam in the ancient world, and the Abrahamic counter-revolutions of Marxism, Bolshevism, Socialism, Postmodernism, Anti-Male Feminism, Human Difference Science Denialism, Political Correctness, and Anti-Westernism in the modern world, are revolts against the natural eugenics of the Aristocratic (European, Persian) peoples. The Abrahamic counter-revolution against the physical, natural, and evolutionary laws, proposes the opposite circumstance: the expansion of the underclasses, and the deprivation of the commons, and a parasitic elite that benefits from capturing mankind in stagnation and decline. 8 – Just as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam brought about the first Abrahamic dark age of ignorance superstition, dysgenia, destruction, and eventual decline, the second Abrahamic dark age is in progress using the false promise of freedom from physical, natural, and evolutionary laws, and with the same results as every other civilization affected by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: devolution by dysgenia and decline. 9 – Every group develops a strategy, mythology, paradigm (metaphysics), methodology of persuasion, and perpetuates it across generations. We are unconscious of these differences. But just as we can be universally taught logic, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and economics, we can be taught how to speak truthfully, how to identify lies and frauds, and how to find mindfulness in truth and community rather than falsehood and deceits. 10 – It is possible to use common law of tort to prevent false promises in psychological, social, economic, and political fraud( informational) just as we prevent it in commercial (advertising, marketing, sales). And it is possible to institutionalize the suppression of that specific kind of fraud (baiting into hazard) just as we institutionalize the suppression of other kinds of baiting into hazard at the interpersonal scale (drugs, prostitution, crime, etc. 11 – It is possible to prevent another dark age, and possible to prevent the civil war that many of us are determined to wage to prevent that dark age if we cannot prevent it by more agreeable political means: peaceful separation, and restoration of the process of speciation.
The European Method of Truth
( … )The Abrahamic Method of Deceit
The Institutionalization of Abrahamic Method of Deceit Militarizes the Female Means of Undermining as a Competitive Strategy. The false, unwarrantable, promise of freedom from the laws of the universe: … physical (scarcity) laws, … natural (reciprocity) laws, … evolutionary (regression to the mean) laws, thus: … baiting less able peoples into hazard (harm), … A harm advocated by Pilpul (sophistry, pseudoscience, supernaturalism), … Defended by Critique (undermining, not refuting, not providing competitive solution), … Evading Warranty, Escaping Liability and … By Deliberate Avoidance of Due Diligence, … by Pretense of Plausible Deniability, Given: … the Asymmetry of Knowledge, … the Presence of Malincentives by both Agent(s) and Victim(s); … And Pursued for the Purpose of Attention, Reward (profit), Influence(power), Undermining (Power), of the Trust and Cooperation, of: … a Host Population in Normal Distribution, Thereby Generating: … Accelerating Cycles of Internal Conflict, … Generating Demand for Authority to Control by the Hazard Maker. The Semites, led by the Jews and their Abrahamic method of deception, which is as advanced a method of deceit as Aristotelianism is of truth, have spent thousands of years institutionalizing deception, fraud, organized crime, and in particular, organized crime against THE COMMONS (physical assets, formal and informal institutions) of host peoples. The purpose of their undermining is to reverse the high trust, and competitive advantage of superior peoples who developed eugenic civilization, that continues the adaptive progress of mankind. The Semites are not just different, they are not just worse, they are the and greatest cancer among the human populations. They are devolutionary. And their method of infection of the cognitively weak is as successful as the viruses we cannot defeat either. They are the origin of, and agents of, the Great Filter: the end of mankind.Solutions
My goal is not, like the over 100 other countries in history, to expunge Abrahamists from politics (Christians) or from the market, society, and polity, (Jews, Muslims), or to kill them off, but instead to increase the scope of our laws to suppress the Abrahamic method of deceit by articulating the Aristotelian method of truth, such that all speech in public to the public in matters public must be truthful. If this is accomplished then it will be impossible for the jews, Christians, and Muslims using supernaturalism, or platonists with idealism, or Marxists, neo-Marxists, postmodernists, and difference, denialists to spread the Abrahamic false promises by the Abrahamic method of deceit. If instead of just grammar, logic, and rhetoric, we teach grammar, logic, testimony, and rhetoric, and we add basic economics and basic logic of the natural law of reciprocity, then within two generations we will achieve in psychological and social science what we have in physical sciences: the incremental eradication of the three primary methods of lying, the fictionalisms: supernaturalism (imaginary occult), super-normalism (verbal idealism and sophistry), and super-physicalism (physical magic and pseudoscience). This is an opportunity to bring the revolution in greek empiricism, in British science, German-American technology, and American biology, into a reformation of the linguistic, psychological, and social sciences, and to return western civilization to its continuous leadership of mankind out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, diseased, and yes… DYSGENIA. We can continue to drag mankind kicking and screaming out of ignorance, superstition, despotism, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, suffering, disability, child mortality, early death, and the victimhood of a nature all but hostile to human life, at the geological, solar, galactic, and universal levels. And from there continue our ascent into the gods we imagine. Or we can have another dark age because that is what Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and their revisions in marxism, socialism, neo-marxism, postmodernism, anti-male feminism, and human difference denial seek to bring about through the restoration of ignorance, sophistry, superstition, pseudoscience, and dysgenia that destroy the information system that man depends upon to pass the Great Filter.Understanding
—“ A wisdom literature provides advice for decisions and choices within the limits of a group’s evolutionary strategy within a group using that evolutionary strategy. A Theology provides an authoritarian wisdom literature, by false promise and false threat, conflating wisdom and law between competing group evolutionary strategies. An ideology serves to inspire individuals to action under democracy. A philosophy provides methods of choice in order to achieve a desired state of affairs. A formal logic provides language and grammar for the testing (falsification) of the internal consistency of verbal relations. A science provides a formal process(logical and physical instrumentation) decidability for the elimination of ignorance, error, bias, and deceit from our claims. Strictly constructed Natural Law unite formal logic and formal science to provide decidability in matters of dispute. ”— Curt Doolittle, The Propertarian Institute, Kyiv, Ukraine.
Sciences:
1. Formal(Logics: logic, mathematics, algorithmic, operational). 2. Physical (the laws of nature). 3. Psychological (cognitive science), and; 4. Social (Social science: economics, law, politics, group strategy). P-law is a formal, operational, and algorithmic logic using a universally commensurable grammar (paradigm, vocabulary, logic grammar syntax), that tests (falsifies) every possible dimension of thought: coherent (consistent, correspondent, existentially and operationally possible). Now, you might arbitrarily define ‘science’, but by any present definition P-law is scientific. It is logical, empirical, operational, and under realism, naturalism, rational choice, and reciprocity. Human Faculties (physical process) > Epistemology > Grammar > Vocabulary > Speech > Due Diligence > including Ethics. Faculties:
1. Sense, Integration by prediction 2. Space-Time Modeling prediction, 3. Auto Association prediction (intuition), Auto Evaluation (emotion), 4. Attention-Recursion, 5. Reason, Planning, Calculation, Computation, 6. Action-Release > Repeat.Epistemology: Observation > Free Association > Hypothesis (reason tested) > Theory (operationally tested), > Surviving Theory (market tested) > Limitation > Falsification > Repeat. In P we use a ‘grammar’ to refer to the Paradigm and Vocabulary, grammar, logic, and syntax of a paradigm. And when we use the term “the Grammars’ we mean the spectrum of those grammars. A Grammar: refers to the Paradigm (permissible dimensions of perception, cognition, and action), the Names, Operations, and Rules of Continuous Recursive Disambiguation (morpheme, word, phrase, sentence, story organization) and the LOGIC (constant relations) that limit consistency, correspondence, coherence, and completeness. Vocabulary: Deflation and disambiguation by competition, operationalization, and serialization, ex: Moral: Evil < Bad < Immoral < Unethical < Amoral > Ethical > Moral > Good > Righteous. or Truth: Tautological < Analytic < Idea < Testifiable < Honest < Untested. Speech: Deflation (constraint upon) ordinary language grammar, limited to a single point of view, absent the verb to be, using complete promissory sentences, describing a series of operations (human actions), resulting in testable transactions (sentence),and sets of transactions. Due Diligence: realism, naturalism, sensory, identity (categorical), internal (logical), operational (actions in time), external (empirical), rational (bounded rationality), reciprocal (moral – reciprocal rationality), limited, fully accounted, warranteed, restitutable. Ethics (Morality): Productive, Fully informed, Voluntary Transfer of Demonstrated Interests, free of imposition of costs upon the demonstrated interests of others by externality, and warrantied, by due diligence against error bias and deceit, within the limits of restitution. No more sophistry. Philosophy is closed. Science has fully replaced it. P-law is complete. Including Metaphysics, Epistemology, Psychology, Ethics, Sociology, Economics, Politics, Law, Group Strategy, and Aesthetics.

The World During the Ice Age
For our purposes note (a) the absence of the north sea, (b) the closure of the red sea, (c) the absence of the persian gulf, (d) the ability to reach australia, (e) the ability to reach the americas and (f) the size of the caspian sea, and (g) the size and number of large lakes in Africa. In other words, walking across the planet is possible.

The Next Ice Age
According to Milankovitch theory, the advent of the ice age depends on the coincidence of the following three conditions:
Elongation or eccentricity: Eccentricity is the shape of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. It is constantly fluctuating with the orbital shape ranging between more and less elliptical, every 100,000 years. This alters the distance from the Earth to the Sun which in turn reduces or increases the amount of radiation received at the Earth’s surface in different seasons. The northern hemisphere experiences winter while the southern hemisphere experiences summer at perihelion position, which is the position where the distance between the earth and the sun is the least. The opposite happens at the aphelion position which is the position where the distance between the earth and the sun is the most. The solar energy received at the perihelion is 20-30% more than the energy received at the aphelion position. These fluctuations around the globe result in prominent changes in the Earth’s climate and glacial regimes. This means that the winter experienced at the aphelion would be bitter and due to the slow rotation of the earth at the aphelion (as per calculations based on Kepler’s second law), the winter would get more time to strengthen itself. For example, the glaciers from the north may start to extend southwards.
Rotation of Precession: While the bottom part of a top is spinning, the top part also sort of revolves. The earth spins like a spinning top on its axis, while its axis also sort of revolves. It takes 26,000 years to complete one such revolution. Because of this movement, we notice the change in the night sky during different seasons. If you compare the night sky of summer in the northern hemisphere today to the night sky of summer in the northern hemisphere 5,000 years ago, it will be very different. When the precession of equinoxes sends the glaciations-prone northern hemisphere to the aphelion position, the winter becomes fierce, freezing the arctic and most of the northern hemisphere.
Tilt or Obliquity: Currently, the tilt of the earth’s axis or its obliquity is at 23.5 degrees. But every 41,000 years, the obliquity shifts between low (22.1 degrees) to high (24.5 degrees). When the obliquity is at its lowest, the higher latitudes don’t receive much sunlight, leading to increase in ice cover over these latitudes.
According to the Milankovitch criteria, to predict the next ice age, we can use the above information and find out when the next ice age is due. The earth’s orbit is almost circular today and 10,000 years from now, the orbit will be an ellipse. Obliquity will be at its lowest in 12,000 years from today while the precession would have reversed in almost10,000 years. So, we can predict that almost 10 to 12 thousand years from now, a new ice age may begin.The Problem of Prediction: Only 11,000 years have passed since the last Ice Age, so scientists cannot be certain that humans are indeed living in a post-glacial epoch instead of an interglacial period of the Pleistocene and thus due for another ice age in the near geologic future. It’s possible that an increase in global temperature, as we’re experiencing now, could be a sign of an impending ice age and could actually increase the amount of ice on the earth’s surface. Why? Because the cold, dry air above the Arctic and Antarctica carries little moisture and drops little snow on the regions. An increase in global temperature could increase the amount of moisture in the air and increase the amount of snowfall. After years of more snowfall than melting, the polar regions could accumulate more ice. An accumulation of ice would lead to a lowering of the level of the oceans and there would be further, unanticipated changes in the global climate system as well.
Conclusion: The next ice age will occurr anytime between immediately and ten thousand years from now.
Precipitation Around The World
To serve our purposes this map could be a little clearer, but notice that the earth’s wobbles but it’s tilt is 23 degrees at present, and the pattern of precipitation is 12 degrees. This means that with normal ocean rotation, western europe is warmer and wetter, and east asia is colder and drier. Meanwhile, between the solar radiation across Saharan africa the arabian peninsula, central asia, and the himalayas, the rotation of the earth, the pitch of the earth, and the circulatory patterns of the oceans, that glaciation, cold, temperate and hot climates are distributed unevenly.


Fresh Water – Rivers of the World
In an effort to illustrate the many rivers and streams of the fertile world, in contrast with the drier regions, this map crosses over into overrepresentation of smaller rivers and undrerepresentation of the major rivers. That said, the point we want to make is that while we live in an agrarian age, and we live in a land of territorial states, that mankind evolved near, and populated the world, by following waterways. Not just because mankind requires fresh water, but because the animals we fed on from the fish in the waters, to those that came to drink from it did also.

Transportation – Navigable Rivers of the World
Illustrating those many waterways obscures the difference between rivers that provide fresh water, rivers that are navigable (provide transport), and rivers that provide sufficient water for widespread seasonal irrigation, and those that supply sufficient irrigation that they can sustain civilizations dependent upon widespread river-irrigation. This better illustrates the main waterways that make civilization possible.

Arable Land of the World
Less than five percent of the planet consists of arable land. The rest is artic, tundra, desert, or mountainous, or otherwise difficult to farm. Note the concentrations in china, india, europe, and north america versus south america, africa, australia and east central asia.

Soil Quality Around The World
This map of soil quality provides a bit more precision than the one above for those areas that are arable, but gives the wrong impression otherwise. I’ve added it here to show the difference between sout asia (india), se asia, and particularly northeast china to call attention to the fact that the high population of these regions isn’t cultural it’s geographic.

Conflict 3: The Evolution of Man
The Evolution of Man
The story of cycles of hyper adaptation, expansion, and hybridization – and the limits of that cycle.
LIFE
- Life: Organization, Metabolism, and Homeostasis defeat entropy by taking advantage of entropy, and influence in, participation in, or production of reproduction of the information necessary to reproduce genetic information and processes, and adaptation is necessary to evolve into those conditions. As far as I know, genes function as the “life” form with the cell to body of the individual or cell to bodies of the group a carrier.
- Species: “Populations that do not regularly breed with one another.” Preference and capacity for reproductive cooperation by morphological, phenotypical, behavioral, identification and preference.
- Evolution: the tendency of a population of organisms to adapt to opportunities in a given environment, through mutation, regulation, expression, interbreeding, and hybridization.
- Mutation:
- Regulation:
- Expression:
- Regulatory Transfer (Epigenetic):
- Interbreeding: the capture of or transfer of traits
- Speciation: The creation of a new species, often from the evolution of another species
- Hybridization: The emergence of a new species from the intermixture of other species
- Co-Evolution: two or more organisms evolving in adaptation to one another.
- Homoplasy (convergent Evolution)
- Endomism ( restricted to a certain area – divergent evlution)
- Stenotropic – narrow habitat preferences – adapted to narrow habitats.
- Punctuated Equilibrium: Long periods of consistency of a species interrupted by rapid changes to a species, group of species, or ecology.
MAN
- Morphology (Major: Size Shape Organization, performative difference)
- Phenotype (Minor: small – any visible difference)
- Physiology (functions of living organisms and their organs and organic processes).
- Metabolism Metabolically (the conversion and distribution of energy)
- Behavior; The sets and series of actions produced by an organism in response to a particular situation or stimulus.

Hyper Adaptability
Human hyper-adaptability can be maximized across the spectrum of human abilities:
Physiologically (Skeleton, organs, organic processes),
… Morphologically (Features),
… … Behaviorally(socially),
… … … Cognitively(neurology),
… … … … Conceptually(ideas),
… … … … … Informationally(knowledge),
… … … … … … Technologically(material),
… … … … … … … Institutionally(organizational).The story of mankind, as we shall see, is the sequential exhaustion of opportunity of adaptability across that spectrum – and that story is the primary lesson of our present study. And that lesson will lead us to very different understandings compared to our ancestral cyclical(natural) and linear(technological) understandings of the universe, of mankind, our present condition, and our future potential.
The seed that I would like to plant, that I hope will grow for the remainder of our journey together, is that evidentiary(scientific) truth, (free of pretense of knowlege by ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, deceit, and fraud), provides humans with new opportunity for adaptability, if willing to pay the cost of adaptation today in exchange for the continuous benefits of adaptation tomorrow – and thereafter.
And this is a critical insight, because only one group of people on earth, and in human history, chose to pay the high cost of truth (adaptation) while all other peoples chose to not pay the costs of adaptation. This is why europeans institutionalized truth-before-face, truth-before-dominance_hierarchy, truth-before-desirability, truth-regardless-of costs: maximum adaptability. It is this choice, first among the other uniquensses of european peoples and their civilization, that caused european peoples to evolve – not first – but faster than all other peoples combined, in the steppe, mediterranean, continental, and sea ages. The question is – do we have the will to continue dragging mankind out of it’s continuous efforts to resist adaptation by resisting the truth?
Why Is Evolutionary History Confusing?
- Academic disciplinary specialization
- Non-Operational, or arbitrary names
- Difficulting in forming a coherent narrative prior to genetic evidence and contemporary techniques (and costs).
- The postwar attempt to undermine the sciences
A Narrative Provides a System of Measurement for Testing Coherence of cross Disciplinary Dnformation
To make human history into a coherent (accross time) and consistent (using the same systems of comparison) we need to produce a narrative (explanation) of the evolution of man from his first emergence to the present. In doing so we produce a system of measurement (skeleton) upon which we can draw consistent and coherent deductions about mankind – free of our tendency to error, bias, wishful thinking, deciet and fraud. (Partcularly political fraud.) And while adademic specialization, non operational names, and lack of a coherent narrative are confusing.The Game of Life, Time, Pattern Identification, and History

Timeline of Mankind
The Beginning
(Geologic)
The Cenozoic (66M BC to Present): The period of Mammals, beginning 66 million years ago, beginning with the K-T extinction event when an asteroid hit the earth. The terrestrial animals that succeeded in dominating both hemispheres were mammals – the Eutherians (placentals) in the northern hemisphere and the Metatherians (marsupials, now mainly restricted to Australia) in the southern hemisphere. The extinction of many groups allowed mammals and birds to greatly diversify so that large mammals and birds dominated the Earth. The continents also moved into their current positions, and the Earth’s climate had begun a drying and cooling trend, culminating in the glaciations of the Pleistocene Epoch, and only partially offset by the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum.The Paleolithic
(Historical)
Pre-History: c. 3.3M BC – 300,000 BC) The period between the appearance of Homo (“humans”; first stone tools c. three million years ago) and the invention of writing systems (for the Ancient Near East: 3,000 BC).(Human)
The Paleolithic (“Old Stone Age”) (3.3M BC to 9700 BC), is the period in human prehistory beginning with original development of stone tools. It extends from the earliest known use of stone tools by hominins c. 3.3 million years ago, to the end of the Pleistocene in 9700 BC, and covers 99% of the time period of human technological prehistory.(Human)

The Quaternary: (“Fourth Period”) (2.6M BC to Present) The Period of Glaciations.
The current geological period, the Quaternary, is marked by warm and cold episodes, cold phases called glacials (Quaternary ice age) lasting about 100,000 years, and which are then interrupted by the warmer interglacials which lasted about 10,000–15,000 years. The last cold episode of the last glacial period ended about 10,000 years ago. Earth is currently in an interglacial period of the Quaternary, called the Holocene.The Quaternary represents the entire time during which recognizable humans existed. The major geographical changes during this time period included the emergence of the Strait of Bosphorus and Skagerrak during glacial epochs, which respectively turned the Black Sea and Baltic Sea into fresh water, followed by their flooding (and return to salt water) by rising sea level; the periodic filling of the English Channel, forming a land bridge between Britain and the European mainland; the periodic closing of the Bering Strait, forming the land bridge between Asia and North America; and the periodic flash flooding of Scablands of the American Northwest by glacial water. The current extent of Hudson Bay, the Great Lakes and other major lakes of North America are a consequence of the Canadian Shield’s readjustment since the last ice age; different shorelines have existed over the course of Quaternary time.

The Geography and Ecology of Africa
Today’s Sahara, 5500 years ago, was wet and tropical. But it rapidly turned into desert. The climate patterns that affect the Sahara region are regulated by the climate of the high latitudes and the arctic and are very sensitive to change. This means that north Africa’s rainfall switches on and off like a lightbulb. South of the Sahara varies more like Eurasia with gradual changes in climate as the planet’s cycles pass.
This map doesn’t provide enough detail but it does explain the difference between hot, temperate, and cold climates.

This map shows the seasonal rainfall patterns.

Climate Causes Adaptation
Climactic events cause new adaptive genealogical events. Or change by crisis and opportunity create pressure for adaptability. This chart illustrates that early hominins were adapted to local environmental niches, whether grassland or forest, and during warmer and drier eras could range and intermix, and during cooler and water eras were isolated from one another. This sinusoidal back and forth by the climate cause speciation and hybridization. So after each climactic event new groups emerged.

Genus Homo

Homo (~2.4M BC) Roughly 2.4 million years ago Homo habilis had appeared in East Africa: the first known human species, and the first known to make stone tools.Leaps
- Metabolic Efficiency, and Homeostatic Regulation – Increased Possibility of Starvation
- Food Sharing
- Bigger Brains
- Stone Tools
- Early Birth,
- Increased Child Care
Primates are more metaboliclaly efficient than other animals. Humans are more metabolically efficient than other primates. To achieve that you need food sharing and body fat. That’s why humans are the fattest primate. Even athletic humans have 15% body fat. Even lazy zoo chimps have least than 50%. Other animals aren’t maximized like humans, beacue the risk of starvation is too high.
The use of tools conferred a crucial evolutionary advantage, and required a larger and more sophisticated brain to co-ordinate the fine hand movements required. A larger brain equires a larger skull, and thus requires the female to have a wider birth canal for the newborn’s larger skull to pass through. But if the female’s birth canal grew too wide, her pelvis would be so wide that she would lose the ability to run, which was a necessary skill 2 million years ago.
The solution was to give birth at an early stage of fetal development, before the skull grew too large to pass through the birth canal. This adaptation enabled the human brain to continue to grow, at the cost of the need to care for helpless infants for long periods of time forced humans to become less mobile. Human bands increasingly stayed in one place for long periods, so that females could care for infants, while males hunted food and fought with other bands that competed for food sources. As a result, humans became even more dependent on tool-making to compete with other animals and other humans, and relied less on body size and strength.
Species Homo Erectus
(Human)
Paleolithic >
Lower Paleolithic >
Homo erectus (~2M BC) (‘upright man’) Homo erectus was a species of archaic human that appeared about 2 million years ago. It’s the first recognisable members of the genus Homo (human). Homo Erectus was the first human ancestor to spread throughout the Old World, extending across Eurasia from the Iberian Peninsula in the west to Java in the east.Leaps:
- Persistence Hunting
- Superpredatory Kill Rate
- Better Food, Greater Caloric Intake
- Fire
- Gradual but Continuous virtuous cycle of somatic improvement (evolution of brains and brawn)
- Cooperation, Division of labor, and Food Sharing
- Monogamy / Pairing off?
- Proto Language?
H. Erectus had a humanlike gait and body proportions, and was the first human species to have exhibited a flat face, prominent nose, and likely had sparse body hair coverage. Brain capacity varied widely depending on the population, ranging from 546–1,251 cc (33.3–76.3 cu in), and maximum brain size matured early on in life, meaning a shorter childhood and reduced parental care compared to modern humans. Size also ranged widely from 146–185 cm (4 ft 9 in–6 ft 1 in) in height and 40–68 kg (88–150 lb) in weight. H. erectus men and women may have been roughly the same size as each other (exhibit reduced sexual dimorphism) like modern humans, which could indicate monogamy in line with general trends exhibited in primates. Skin colour potentially varied with location, but as we have seen, primates have light skin, and dark skin was the evolutionary result of losing hair, just as clothing and higher latitudes the result of losing dark skin.
H. Erectus is associated with the Acheulean (Ah-ch-yoo-LEE-an) stone tool industry, and is thought to have been the earliest human ancestor capable of using fire, hunting and gathering in coordinated groups, caring for injured or sick group members, seafaring, and possibly art-making. Sites generally show consumption of medium to large animals, such as bovines or elephants, and a high reliance on meat is associated with increasing brain size. Though groups were more social than ancestor species. It’s unclear if H. Erectus was anatomically capable of speech, though it is postulated they communicated using some proto-language.
The Result Of Multiple Species: Evolution by Hybridization
African populations of H. erectus are the direct ancestors of several human species, such as H. heidelbergensis and H. antecessor, and Asian populations of H. floresiensis and possibly to H. luzonensis, and several proposed subspecies with varying levels of possibiity. H. heidelbergensis generally considered to have been the direct ancestor to Neanderthals and Denisovans, and possibly modern humans.
Erectus..-> Heidelbergensis > Antecessor > Sapiens
… … … … -> Eurasia: Neandertal |Denisovian -> Extinct
… … … … -> Asia: Floresiensis | Luzonensis -> ExtinctMOVE ME: Interbreeding occurred between H. sapiens and archaic humans in Eurasia, Oceania and Africa, indicating that modern population groups, while mostly derived from early H. sapiens, are to a lesser extent also descended from regional variants of archaic humans.
Baboons as an Example: hybridization. olive baboon super-baboon, reticulate species, … we cannot take the morphological variation in early homo populations for territorial isolation.
Earlier hominids appear to be stenotopic: adapted to an ecological niche. H. Erectus is NOT stenotopic. Instead, it’s analogous to the “super-baboon”: a “super hominid”. It found an adaptive strategy that gave it a wider habitat opportunity. As such the many hominid species in Africa, need not be reproductively isolated, As such, we may never, and likely will not, identify a single ancestor of Homo Erectus.
Extraordinary Success of Homo Erectus
H. Erectus gradually increased it’s body size and doubled its brain size. But doing so requires extra energy. The 30kg Australopithecus would need 1200 calories a day, and 52kg homo Erectus would need 50% more calories per day and much more when lactating. Erectus had smaller teeth and lower bite force, so they were getting higher quality food – not more, but better.
They were hunters and gatherers, which required intense cooperation and food sharing, hunting, scavaging, and foraging, and tool-making, fire, and food processing. And the hunter-gatherer complex creates an interesting but simple system of feedback that serves their interests: cooperative huntering and gathering favors two kinds of skills: cognitive and social – meaning brains, and athleticism – meaning brawn. These two skills lead to increasing energy availability. And increasing energy availability leads to more opportunities for cognitive, social, and athletic evolution.
Or more formally,
- selection for better hunter-gathering abilities (brains and braw)
- Produces more available energy (especially for mothers and offspring)
- That energy for mothers and offspring can be put to an increase in cellular investment (maintenance), reproductive investment (offspring), or somatic investment (biological adaptation – especially by regulatory adaptation).
Which is an exceptionally effective feedback model for evolution.
But where did that investment go?
- Hominids are comparatively slow and awkward compared to quadruped prey.
- Hunting and savaging is difficult and risky.
- And hominids lack both weapons (fangs, claws) and defenses (fur).
- And competing with carnivores like lions and such is entering an exclusive and dangerous club.
Walking upright.
Fossil footprints of Homo Erectus show cooperating groups of males living and hunting together, with bone structure, musculature, and walking behavior identical to ours. Although we might note that except for the arch, flat footed feet that are distinctively human are found in europe and the mediterranean just after it flooded at 5.7m years ago.
Running.

Most of these features are present in and evolved first in the Genus Homo.
- Decoupled Head and Shoulders
- Oral Heat Dumping
- Enlarged Semicircular Canals
- Nuchal Ligament
- Reduced Arm Mass
- Enlarged Cranial Gluteus Maximus
- Narrow Waist
- Short Femoral Neck
- Long Legs (although not uncommon in other species)
- High percentage of slow-twitch fibers
- Large Elastic Ventricles
- Long Leg Tendons
- Short Calcaneus
- Elastic Energy Storage in Arch
- Short toes
Running Gave us Persistence Hunting
Our ancestors likely started out scavenging, but we evolved Persistence Hunting: because we can run longer than all other animals. Why, because we can dissipate heat extremely well. We can run and breathe. We can run and sweat. And they don’t dissipate heat well, they can’t sweant and most importantly – they pant to dissipate heat. But when they run(gallop) they can’t pant. While quadrupeds can gallop faster than humans can run, humans can run a marathon above the trot-gallop transition speed of most game – forcing them game into gallop where it can’t pant and dissipate heat. In the middle of the day, in the heat, they chose a big animal, forced it to gallop away until it hides to rest. The track it, then chase it again, and repeat. Over about 15-30 km, half of which they spend walking, they can drive big game into hyperthermia so that it just dies from overheating. The technique is about 75% successful which puts man up with the domestic cat and the African dog (wolf) as the most successful predators on earth. The African hunter-gatherers call this The Great Dance.

Fellow Super Predatory Kill Rates
African wild dogs – 85% successful kills (but only hold 30%)
Man – 70% successful kills
Domestic cat (in wild) – 70% successful kills
Cheetah – 58% successful kills
Leopard – 38% successful kills
Lion – 30% successful kills
Wolves – 14% successful kills
Polar bear – 10% successful kills
Tiger – 5% successful killsCooperation
But we can divide labor, we can share food, we can share food capture and preparation.
We can share food preparation. We can’t chew raw meat, Human teeth are poorly adapted for chewing raw meat but you can slice it, and pound it even before cooking.
Using persistence hunting, food preparation, rates of reproduction, hunter-gatherer population density, we can estimate that it would take only 50-100k years for Erectus to ‘fill’ Africa and create pressure to migrate out of Africa, and disperse into the south pacific.
Failings
Evidence suggests that they were social, but lazy and incurious, taking advantage of running, and their success at running down game, but not seeking innovation or excellence in tools.
Exceptional Success
Homo erectus first appeared about 1.8 million years ago and, based on the fossil evidence, quickly populated Africa, Asia and Europe. Though it is unclear whether the species arose in Africa or Asia, a million years later the widespread populations were still similar enough to be considered a single species, White argued. The largest number of Homo erectus specimens are from Asia, including the first specimen – “Java Man.”
The onset of the Ice Ages about 950,000 years ago likely split the Homo erectus populations and led to their divergent evolution. The African population of Homo erectus probably gave rise to modern Homo sapiens, the European branch perhaps became the Neandertals, while the Asian population went extinct.
Anthropological “splitting” that’s common today gives the wrong impression of the biology of these early human ancestors. The different names indicate an apparent diversity that is not at least initially subsantive. Homo erectus is a biologically successful organism, not a whole series of different human ancestors, all but one of which went extinct.”
By the time Homo erectus disappeared some 400,000 years ago, its various populations had clearly diverged, since 500,000-year-old fossils from Asia, including “Peking Man,” differ significantly from African fossils of the same age, particularly in the size of the cranium.
The last known record of morphologically recognisable H. erectus are from Java, around 117–108,000 years ago. The disappearance of H. erectus is a matter of dispute but as we see throuhout history, as soon as members of Genus Homo are able to use tools, more advanced generations replace more primitive peoples, rather rapidly.
We want to make two observations: (a) the route out of africa thru the horn and iberia, and (b) the date they appear to disappear ~100k BC. And later on, when we discuss ‘Geography in Everything’, it won’t be a surprise.

Early Homo sapiens (H. sapiens) (~300,000 BC to 50,000 BC) evolves out of ancestral Homo erectus (or an intermediate species such as the hypothesized Homo antecessor, or in Europe as Homo heidelbergensis ) in Africa roughly 500,000 years ago. Between 350,000 and 260,000 years ago populations in East and South Africa merged, while North-African populations dispersed and hybridized into the Neandertals. H. sapiens disperse almost immediately with North African archaeological finds 315,000 years ago, in West Asia by 270,000 South Africa about 259,000 years ago, and in Greece 210,000 years ago.Generation Two: Anatomically Modern Humans
(Human)
Paleolithic >
Middle Paleolithic >
Generation Two:
Homo Sapiens – Anatomically Modern Human (AMH) (~200,000 BC ) distinguishes Homo sapiens that are anatomically consistent with the range of phenotypes (physical body shapes and in particular skeletons) seen in contemporary humans from extinct archaic human species. This distinction is useful especially for times and regions where anatomically modern and archaic humans co-existed such as in Paleolithic Europe. The oldest known skeleton of an anatomically modern human(AMH) dates to about 196,000 years ago. (Or approximately 200k BC).Limited Technology: It’s unclear to what extent these early modern humans had developed social abilities, techniques, and institutions such as language, music, religion, etc. They spread throughout Africa over the following approximately 50,000 years.
Maximization of Physical Form (Exhaustion of Physical Adaptivity): Most importantly is that the physical features that produced human super-predation have completed their evolution: limited digestion, narrow waisted, long legged, tall, narrow pelvis, hairless, hands free to manipulate tools and carry resource, and the ability to out disspate heat and together to out-endure every other living animal on earth except other humans. A group of humans with simple heat hardenend spears can run-down or walk-down anything living until it’s exhausted, and kill it safely.

Generation Three:
Basal Modern Human (BMH): These megadroughts result in the origin of basal population of contemporary human populations by 130,000 years ago that spread until 75000 years ago – roughly mirroring the droughts. The BMH were morphologically modern, but not technologically or culturally modern – they weren’t substantially different in technology from neanderthals.The First Great Split:
Capoid-Khosian South migrate, Niger-Congo and Nilo-Saharan migrate Central and West, and East Africans Remain.
During this period, from Around 100,000 BC–80,000 BC, three main lines of Homo sapiens diverged:1 – Bearers of mitochondrial haplogroup L1 (mtDNA) / A (Y-DNA) colonizing Southern Africa (the ancestors of the Khoisan/Capoid peoples). The Khoi-San represent an “ancestral population cluster” located in southwestern Africa (near the coastal border of Namibia and Angola).
2 – Bearers of haplogroup L2 (mtDNA) / B (Y-DNA) settling Central and West Africa (the ancestors of Niger–Congo and Nilo-Saharan speaking peoples).
3 – Bearers of haplogroup L3 remained in East Africa.The Failed Migrations:
The Failed North Migration Out of Africa (Levantine Corridor). They also spread north along the nile, through the Levantine corridor and into West Asia 80,000 to 100,000 years ago, but either went extinct or retreated back to Africa 70,000 to 80,000 years ago, possibly replaced by southbound Neanderthals escaping the colder regions of ice-age Europe. Genetic evidence suggests that admixture with Neanderthals occurred during this period – meaning likely a consequence of survival under duress – possibly competitive duress.The Failed East Migration out of Africa (Red Sea Crossing): They also migrated the route through the present-day Bab-el-Mandeb Strait on the Red Sea (at that time, with a much lower sea level and narrower extension), crossing to the Arabian Peninsula and settling in places like the present-day United Arab Emirates (125,000 years ago) and Oman (106,000 years ago), and the Indian Subcontinent (75,000 years ago), and perhaps even southern China (67,000 years ago – although evidence is uncertain), and South Asia and Australia (50,000 years ago.) Although no reliable human remains have yet been found in these places, the similarities between the stone tools and what little remains we have, suggest that their creators were all modern humans. But these migrations from Africa didn’t leave traces in the results of genetic analyses, suggesting that those anatomically modern humans didn’t survive in large numbers and were assimilated by our major antecessors, or died out.

Neanderthal Aside: The archeological community is desperately overcompensating for previous denials of human hybridization with neanderthals, The assumption of complete replacement has been revised in the 2010s with the discovery of admixture events (introgression) of populations of H. sapiens with populations of archaic humans over the period of between roughly 100,000 and 30,000 years ago, both in Eurasia and in Sub-Saharan Africa. Neanderthal admixture, in the range of 1-4%, is found in all modern populations outside of Africa, including in Europeans, Asians, Papua New Guineans, Australian Aboriginals, Native Americans, and other non-Africans. This suggests that interbreeding between Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans took place after the recent “out of Africa” migration, likely between 60,000 and 40,000 years ago.[86][87][88] Recent admixture analyses have added to the complexity, finding that Eastern Neanderthals derive up to 2% of their ancestry from anatomically modern humans who left Africa some 100 kya.[89] The extent of Neanderthal admixture (and introgression of genes acquired by admixture) varies significantly between contemporary racial groups, being absent in Africans, intermediate in Europeans and highest in East Asians. Certain genes related to UV-light adaptation introgressed from Neanderthals have been found to have been selected for in East Asians specifically from 45,000 years ago until around 5,000 years ago.[90] The extent of archaic admixture is of the order of about 1% to 4% in Europeans and East Asians, and highest among Melanesians (the last also having Denisova hominin admixture at 4% to 6% in addition to neanderthal admixture). Cumulatively, about 20% of the Neanderthal genome is estimated to remain present spread in contemporary populations.
Crisis: Near Extinction
The Population Bottleneck 70,000 Years Ago. Genetic evidence suggests that today’s humans are descended from a very small population of between 1,000 and 10,000 breeding pairs that existed about 70,000 years ago. It’s possible that the Toba Super Volcanic Event (74,000 years ago), and the global consequences, may have pushed humans, already fragile becuase of the climate, to the brink of extinction. It may have just put additional migratory pressure on the small population too seek better food sources, or its effects may have have been negligible. Either way, the result was a tiny population and another effort colonize the world outside of africa.Opportunity and Crisis: Red Sea floods
The barrier across Bab-el-Mandeb, between Ethiopia and Yemen underwent an outbreak flooding similar to that found in the Mediterranean. The Lake Toba event, approximately 70,000 years ago, caused a massive drop in sea levels, exposing the barrier and enabling modern Homo sapiens to leave Africa via an alternative route than Sinai. Saline evaporites found on the floor of the Red Sea confirms that this dam has closed at various periods in the past. Rising sea levels during earlier interglacial periods suggest that this area was subject to outburst flooding.Generation Four: Behavioral Modernity: The First Great Leap Forward
Generation Four: The “Great Leap Forward” leading to full behavioral modernity sets in only after this separation. Rapidly increasing sophistication in tool-making and behaviour is apparent from about 80,000 years ago, and the migration out of Africa follows towards the very end of the Middle Paleolithic, some 60,000 years ago.
Recent Out of Africa Migration: At the end of the Megadrought, beginning around 70,000-50,000 years ago, Basal Contemporary Humans (BCH) re-populated Eurasia. In this expansion, bearers of mt-DNA haplogroup L3 left East Africa, likely reaching Arabia via the Bab-el-Mandeb (the mouth of the Red Sea), and in the Great Coastal Migration spread across Arabia, into South Asia (India), Maritime South Asia (southeast asia) and Oceania between 65,000-50,000 years ago.
Likely Opportunity: Exploitation of ocean fishing.
Rate of Migration: Surviving hunter-gatherers migrate by a kilometer (half-mile) per year.
Scale of Migration: Disturbingly small – the number of those that migrated and survived may have been small. Very small. As little as one hundred people.Dispersal: The From the Port of Africa to the Ports Of Eurasia
Routes Out of Africa: Uncertainty. We are not entirely clear on the routes modern humans took as they migrated from east africa. There are at least three routes out of the region and into eurasia:
West: Strait of Gibraltar: The Strait of Gibraltar is only 14 km wide with heavy currents. A decrease in sea levels during the Pleistocene due to glaciation would not have brought this down to less than 10 km. Some researchers have also suggested the route across Sicily but this fails both archeological evidence, and rational incentives given the knowledge at the time.
North: The Levantine Corridor across the Nile delta and the Sinai Peninsula into the Levant. And the strait of Gibraltar. Archaeological remains suggest repeated use of the Levantine corridor and genetic analysis of human populations suggests that this route was more important for migration and trade over time. But that doesn’t tell us about human dispersal out of Africa. Recent evidence suggests that while early H. sapiens spread north through the Levantine corridor 80,000 to 100,000 years ago, these humans either went extinct or retreated back to Africa 70,000 to 80,000 years ago, possibly replaced by southbound Neanderthals escaping the colder regions of ice-age Europe.
South: The Bab-el-Mandeb strait (Red Sea Route) is 20km wide, then an island, then 2km wide. The Red Sea straight is a more likely dispersal route given the pattern of human dispersal, and the distribution of, and rates of differentiation of different peoples of the world. But while it’s a narrow strait it’s not as obvious a route as the Levantine corridor. And despite the distance, during this period of drought, the sea level was lower, making the straight passable. But perhaps more importantly, today’s Persian gulf is a likely candidate for Eden – with rivers feeding what was at the time, a lush region of fertile land and marshes for hunting game. And while evidence is still emerging, there was some sort of industrial complex producing tools and trading with East Africa during the period. So it’s difficult to believe from the archaeology that the southern route
Migration occurs in all directions: north up the red sea, into the Levant, east then north along the Persian Gulf and Mesopotamian rivers, and then east along the coast, and back across are all equally plausible. Like Johnny Appleseed, they seeded groups behind them as they spread. And those seeds took everywhere along the southern route all the way to Australia. It’s this evidence of following the seas, crossing visible horizons of water, and tools for fishing, that weakens objections to the southern route as the primary means of modern human dispersal.

(Human)
Paleolithic >
Upper Paleolithic (50,000 BC to 9700 BC) >
Behaviorally Modern Humans >
Generation Five: Physically, Culturally, Behaviorally, and Technologically Modern.The people who dispersed along this route appear to have been technologically and culturally modern as well as physically modern. Instead of a few primitive stone tools, they had specialized hunting, the use of aquatic (ocean) resources, blade and microlithic technology, fishing tools, bone shaped as a tool, hearths, significant artifact diversity, and elaborate graves, systematic processing and use of pigment, and art and decoration. Art becomes common as does increased geographic range and long-distance trade.
They traveled over longer distances. From these coastal expansions, they spread into Eurasia, East and North Asia by about 45,000 years ago. The earliest of these migrations reached present-day Australia, with humans arriving between 50,000 and 40,000 years ago.
They maintained a nomadic lifestyle of hunting and gathering, and some populations began to establish seasonal or permanent human settlements. These settlements are some of the first known organized, permanent civilizations. Ancient humans designed these establishments to include sleeping quarters, kitchens, butchering areas, and underground storage in order to preserve food.
They emerged into a world of west Eurasian Neanderthals, east Eurasian and Asian Denisovans, and likely remnants of earlier – perhaps three or four different hominids, with multiple branches in isolated regions such as the islands; and possibly remains of Eomo Erectus or others. We these ancestors adapted morphologically, and quickly – possibly because of the rate at which they could spread. And they were sexually opportunistic ( indiscriminate ) and mixed with Neanderthals, Denisovans, and one or more Ghost (lost) populations. So sustained admixture (Hybridization) between archaic humans and modern humans occurred both in Africa. And in 30k years, by 30K years ago, we had hybridized and exterminated the previous species of hominids (competitors).
Travel, Communication and Trade: The greatest contributions of the Upper Paleolithic Revolution were over-water travel, the establishment of long-range trade routes, and the development of complex spoken languages.
The Upper Paleolithic Revolution: This expansion results in The Upper Paleolithic Revolution between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago, just before the widespread practice of agriculture. It produces fully modern behavior, including figurative art, music, self-ornamentation, trade, burial rites etc. is evident by 30,000 years ago. The oldest unequivocal examples of prehistoric art date to this period, the Aurignacian and the Gravettian periods of prehistoric Europe, such as the Venus figurines and cave painting (Chauvet Cave) and the earliest musical instruments (the bone pipe of Geissenklösterle, Germany, dated to about 36,000 years ago).
Rapid Adaptive Speciation
The First Invisible Age
t looks like no one really knows. The best candidates for the various dispersals are around the pre-flood Persian gulf just like the neolithic expansion around upper Mesopotamian rivers, just like the later expansion around the black sea. But some authors advocate the Levantine corridor and basal Eurasian in the Sinai. AFAIK this is an artifact of the availability of data the same way we know so much more about europe and the levant than the rest of the world.
A Gradual Process or Incremental Revolutions? ( … )
Divisions: Origins of The Basal Populations
The Coastal Dispersal: Southern route across the then-passable Red Sea Straight, across the Saudi Arabian peninsula (Today’s Yemen), across the then-closed Persian gulf with its two freshwater lakes, and along the Coast of India to the Indus River Valley, then the Ganges, and continuing along the coast to southeast Asia, eventually reaching then-combined Australia–New Guinea landmass. Subsequent migrations, partly driven by agricultural expansions, have largely erased the genetic evidence of this early dispersal, with the possible exception of certain ‘refugia’ populations, such as Southeast Asian hunter-gatherers (e.g., Malaysian Semang and Filipino Negrito groups), Andamanese and indigenous Australians.
The Basal Eurasians – “We Don’t Know”
The Basal South Eurasian Dispersal: (South of the black sea, caucuses, and Caspian sea) By …. the basal south Eurasians have formed by spreading from today’s Persian gulf and Pakistan, into today’s Iran, Caucuses and Anatolia, and into Mesopotamia, the Levant, and north Africa.
Basal West Eurasian Dispersal (West of the Urals and north of the Caucuses) ( … ) By … the basal central Eurasians have formed by spreading north (we don’t know how) east of the Caspian, and into today’s Russia.
Basal East Eurasian Dispersal (east of the Urals and North of the Himalayas) … ) by … the basal east Eurasians have formed by spreading north and east (we don’t know how) into today’s Tibet, Mongolia, and Siberia. This group appears to have split off into today’s north China, Korea, and Japan.
The Basal East Asian Dispersal: A branch of these early arrivals 60000 years ago, migrated northward, and settled East Asia. However, the genetic history of East Asia consists of three waves of immigrants from the south, followed by two waves of migrants from the north and west, including a smaller, later dispersal between 15–50 kya or 40-30 ka) arrived from the north of the Himalayas. This immigration pattern produced a north-south cline of east asians that we still observe today.
Like the rest of Eurasia, while East Asia consisted of divergent groups, the agrarian expansion dominated the genetic expansion and somewhat homogenized the regional populations in east and south asia just as it did in central Eurasia and western Europe. But unlike the indo european expansion in Eurasia, and like the southwest Eurasians of the middle east, the East Asians were relatively unaffected by the indo european expansion, and as such had less hybridization with the west Eurasians.
The Future will produce:
The Basal Ancient North Eurasians will not evolve until 24, 000 BC, and it’s their admixture with eastern and western hunter-gatherers that provides the genetic basis for the cultural and technological revolution of the indo Europeans.
The Basal Early Americans (Amerindians) will evolve from admixture between north Asians and ancient north Eurasians thereafter.
The Basal Modern Europeans evolve only 5000 years ago, by the hybridization of western and eastern hunter-gatherers, early neolithic farmers, and Steppe pastoralists.

LIFE
- Life: Organization, Metabolism, and Homeostasis defeat entropy by taking advantage of entropy, and influence in, participation in, or production of reproduction of the information necessary to reproduce genetic information and processes, and adaptation is necessary to evolve into those conditions. As far as I know, genes function as the “life” form with the cell to body of the individual or cell to bodies of the group a carrier.
- Species: “Populations that do not regularly breed with one another.” Preference and capacity for reproductive cooperation by morphological, phenotypical, behavioral, identification and preference.

Hyper Adaptability
Human hyper-adaptability can be maximized across the spectrum of human abilities:
Physiologically (Skeleton, organs, organic processes),
… Morphologically (Features),
… … Behaviorally(socially),
… … … Cognitively(neurology),
… … … … Conceptually(ideas),
… … … … … Informationally(knowledge),
… … … … … … Technologically(material),
… … … … … … … Institutionally(organizational).The story of mankind, as we shall see, is the sequential exhaustion of opportunity of adaptability across that spectrum – and that story is the primary lesson of our present study. And that lesson will lead us to very different understandings compared to our ancestral cyclical(natural) and linear(technological) understandings of the universe, of mankind, our present condition, and our future potential.
The seed that I would like to plant, that I hope will grow for the remainder of our journey together, is that evidentiary(scientific) truth, (free of pretense of knowlege by ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, deceit, and fraud), provides humans with new opportunity for adaptability, if willing to pay the cost of adaptation today in exchange for the continuous benefits of adaptation tomorrow – and thereafter.
And this is a critical insight, because only one group of people on earth, and in human history, chose to pay the high cost of truth (adaptation) while all other peoples chose to not pay the costs of adaptation. This is why europeans institutionalized truth-before-face, truth-before-dominance_hierarchy, truth-before-desirability, truth-regardless-of costs: maximum adaptability. It is this choice, first among the other uniquensses of european peoples and their civilization, that caused european peoples to evolve – not first – but faster than all other peoples combined, in the steppe, mediterranean, continental, and sea ages. The question is – do we have the will to continue dragging mankind out of it’s continuous efforts to resist adaptation by resisting the truth?
Why Is Evolutionary History Confusing?
- Academic disciplinary specialization
- Non-Operational, or arbitrary names
- Difficulting in forming a coherent narrative prior to genetic evidence and contemporary techniques (and costs).
- The postwar attempt to undermine the sciences
A Narrative Provides a System of Measurement for Testing Coherence of cross Disciplinary Dnformation
To make human history into a coherent (accross time) and consistent (using the same systems of comparison) we need to produce a narrative (explanation) of the evolution of man from his first emergence to the present. In doing so we produce a system of measurement (skeleton) upon which we can draw consistent and coherent deductions about mankind – free of our tendency to error, bias, wishful thinking, deciet and fraud. (Partcularly political fraud.) And while adademic specialization, non operational names, and lack of a coherent narrative are confusing.The Game of Life, Time, Pattern Identification, and History

Timeline of Mankind
The Beginning
(Geologic)
The Cenozoic (66M BC to Present): The period of Mammals, beginning 66 million years ago, beginning with the K-T extinction event when an asteroid hit the earth. The terrestrial animals that succeeded in dominating both hemispheres were mammals – the Eutherians (placentals) in the northern hemisphere and the Metatherians (marsupials, now mainly restricted to Australia) in the southern hemisphere. The extinction of many groups allowed mammals and birds to greatly diversify so that large mammals and birds dominated the Earth. The continents also moved into their current positions, and the Earth’s climate had begun a drying and cooling trend, culminating in the glaciations of the Pleistocene Epoch, and only partially offset by the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum.The Paleolithic

Pre-History: c. 3.3M BC – 300,000 BC) The period between the appearance of Homo (“humans”; first stone tools c. three million years ago) and the invention of writing systems (for the Ancient Near East: 3,000 BC).(Human)
The Paleolithic (“Old Stone Age”) (3.3M BC to 9700 BC), is the period in human prehistory beginning with original development of stone tools. It extends from the earliest known use of stone tools by hominins c. 3.3 million years ago, to the end of the Pleistocene in 9700 BC, and covers 99% of the time period of human technological prehistory.(Human)

The Quaternary: (“Fourth Period”) (2.6M BC to Present) The Period of Glaciations.
The current geological period, the Quaternary, is marked by warm and cold episodes, cold phases called glacials (Quaternary ice age) lasting about 100,000 years, and which are then interrupted by the warmer interglacials which lasted about 10,000–15,000 years. The last cold episode of the last glacial period ended about 10,000 years ago. Earth is currently in an interglacial period of the Quaternary, called the Holocene.The Quaternary represents the entire time during which recognizable humans existed. The major geographical changes during this time period included the emergence of the Strait of Bosphorus and Skagerrak during glacial epochs, which respectively turned the Black Sea and Baltic Sea into fresh water, followed by their flooding (and return to salt water) by rising sea level; the periodic filling of the English Channel, forming a land bridge between Britain and the European mainland; the periodic closing of the Bering Strait, forming the land bridge between Asia and North America; and the periodic flash flooding of Scablands of the American Northwest by glacial water. The current extent of Hudson Bay, the Great Lakes and other major lakes of North America are a consequence of the Canadian Shield’s readjustment since the last ice age; different shorelines have existed over the course of Quaternary time.

The Geography and Ecology of Africa
Today’s Sahara, 5500 years ago, was wet and tropical. But it rapidly turned into desert. The climate patterns that affect the Sahara region are regulated by the climate of the high latitudes and the arctic and are very sensitive to change. This means that north Africa’s rainfall switches on and off like a lightbulb. South of the Sahara varies more like Eurasia with gradual changes in climate as the planet’s cycles pass.
This map doesn’t provide enough detail but it does explain the difference between hot, temperate, and cold climates.

This map shows the seasonal rainfall patterns.

Climate Causes Adaptation
Climactic events cause new adaptive genealogical events. Or change by crisis and opportunity create pressure for adaptability. This chart illustrates that early hominins were adapted to local environmental niches, whether grassland or forest, and during warmer and drier eras could range and intermix, and during cooler and water eras were isolated from one another. This sinusoidal back and forth by the climate cause speciation and hybridization. So after each climactic event new groups emerged.

Homo (~2.4M BC) Roughly 2.4 million years ago Homo habilis had appeared in East Africa: the first known human species, and the first known to make stone tools.Leaps
- Metabolic Efficiency, and Homeostatic Regulation – Increased Possibility of Starvation
- Food Sharing
- Bigger Brains
- Stone Tools
- Early Birth,
- Increased Child Care
Primates are more metaboliclaly efficient than other animals. Humans are more metabolically efficient than other primates. To achieve that you need food sharing and body fat. That’s why humans are the fattest primate. Even athletic humans have 15% body fat. Even lazy zoo chimps have least than 50%. Other animals aren’t maximized like humans, beacue the risk of starvation is too high.
The use of tools conferred a crucial evolutionary advantage, and required a larger and more sophisticated brain to co-ordinate the fine hand movements required. A larger brain equires a larger skull, and thus requires the female to have a wider birth canal for the newborn’s larger skull to pass through. But if the female’s birth canal grew too wide, her pelvis would be so wide that she would lose the ability to run, which was a necessary skill 2 million years ago.
The solution was to give birth at an early stage of fetal development, before the skull grew too large to pass through the birth canal. This adaptation enabled the human brain to continue to grow, at the cost of the need to care for helpless infants for long periods of time forced humans to become less mobile. Human bands increasingly stayed in one place for long periods, so that females could care for infants, while males hunted food and fought with other bands that competed for food sources. As a result, humans became even more dependent on tool-making to compete with other animals and other humans, and relied less on body size and strength.
Species Homo Erectus
(Human)
Paleolithic >
Lower Paleolithic >
Homo erectus (~2M BC) (‘upright man’) Homo erectus was a species of archaic human that appeared about 2 million years ago. It’s the first recognisable members of the genus Homo (human). Homo Erectus was the first human ancestor to spread throughout the Old World, extending across Eurasia from the Iberian Peninsula in the west to Java in the east.Leaps:
- Persistence Hunting
- Superpredatory Kill Rate
- Better Food, Greater Caloric Intake
- Fire
- Gradual but Continuous virtuous cycle of somatic improvement (evolution of brains and brawn)
- Cooperation, Division of labor, and Food Sharing
- Monogamy / Pairing off?
- Proto Language?
H. Erectus had a humanlike gait and body proportions, and was the first human species to have exhibited a flat face, prominent nose, and likely had sparse body hair coverage. Brain capacity varied widely depending on the population, ranging from 546–1,251 cc (33.3–76.3 cu in), and maximum brain size matured early on in life, meaning a shorter childhood and reduced parental care compared to modern humans. Size also ranged widely from 146–185 cm (4 ft 9 in–6 ft 1 in) in height and 40–68 kg (88–150 lb) in weight. H. erectus men and women may have been roughly the same size as each other (exhibit reduced sexual dimorphism) like modern humans, which could indicate monogamy in line with general trends exhibited in primates. Skin colour potentially varied with location, but as we have seen, primates have light skin, and dark skin was the evolutionary result of losing hair, just as clothing and higher latitudes the result of losing dark skin.
H. Erectus is associated with the Acheulean (Ah-ch-yoo-LEE-an) stone tool industry, and is thought to have been the earliest human ancestor capable of using fire, hunting and gathering in coordinated groups, caring for injured or sick group members, seafaring, and possibly art-making. Sites generally show consumption of medium to large animals, such as bovines or elephants, and a high reliance on meat is associated with increasing brain size. Though groups were more social than ancestor species. It’s unclear if H. Erectus was anatomically capable of speech, though it is postulated they communicated using some proto-language.
The Result Of Multiple Species: Evolution by Hybridization
African populations of H. erectus are the direct ancestors of several human species, such as H. heidelbergensis and H. antecessor, and Asian populations of H. floresiensis and possibly to H. luzonensis, and several proposed subspecies with varying levels of possibiity. H. heidelbergensis generally considered to have been the direct ancestor to Neanderthals and Denisovans, and possibly modern humans.
Erectus..-> Heidelbergensis > Antecessor > Sapiens
… … … … -> Eurasia: Neandertal |Denisovian -> Extinct
… … … … -> Asia: Floresiensis | Luzonensis -> ExtinctMOVE ME: Interbreeding occurred between H. sapiens and archaic humans in Eurasia, Oceania and Africa, indicating that modern population groups, while mostly derived from early H. sapiens, are to a lesser extent also descended from regional variants of archaic humans.
Baboons as an Example: hybridization. olive baboon super-baboon, reticulate species, … we cannot take the morphological variation in early homo populations for territorial isolation.
Earlier hominids appear to be stenotopic: adapted to an ecological niche. H. Erectus is NOT stenotopic. Instead, it’s analogous to the “super-baboon”: a “super hominid”. It found an adaptive strategy that gave it a wider habitat opportunity. As such the many hominid species in Africa, need not be reproductively isolated, As such, we may never, and likely will not, identify a single ancestor of Homo Erectus.
Extraordinary Success of Homo Erectus
H. Erectus gradually increased it’s body size and doubled its brain size. But doing so requires extra energy. The 30kg Australopithecus would need 1200 calories a day, and 52kg homo Erectus would need 50% more calories per day and much more when lactating. Erectus had smaller teeth and lower bite force, so they were getting higher quality food – not more, but better.
They were hunters and gatherers, which required intense cooperation and food sharing, hunting, scavaging, and foraging, and tool-making, fire, and food processing. And the hunter-gatherer complex creates an interesting but simple system of feedback that serves their interests: cooperative huntering and gathering favors two kinds of skills: cognitive and social – meaning brains, and athleticism – meaning brawn. These two skills lead to increasing energy availability. And increasing energy availability leads to more opportunities for cognitive, social, and athletic evolution.
Or more formally,
- selection for better hunter-gathering abilities (brains and braw)
- Produces more available energy (especially for mothers and offspring)
- That energy for mothers and offspring can be put to an increase in cellular investment (maintenance), reproductive investment (offspring), or somatic investment (biological adaptation – especially by regulatory adaptation).
Which is an exceptionally effective feedback model for evolution.
But where did that investment go?
- Hominids are comparatively slow and awkward compared to quadruped prey.
- Hunting and savaging is difficult and risky.
- And hominids lack both weapons (fangs, claws) and defenses (fur).
- And competing with carnivores like lions and such is entering an exclusive and dangerous club.
Walking upright.
Fossil footprints of Homo Erectus show cooperating groups of males living and hunting together, with bone structure, musculature, and walking behavior identical to ours. Although we might note that except for the arch, flat footed feet that are distinctively human are found in europe and the mediterranean just after it flooded at 5.7m years ago.
Running.

Most of these features are present in and evolved first in the Genus Homo.
- Decoupled Head and Shoulders
- Oral Heat Dumping
- Enlarged Semicircular Canals
- Nuchal Ligament
- Reduced Arm Mass
- Enlarged Cranial Gluteus Maximus
- Narrow Waist
- Short Femoral Neck
- Long Legs (although not uncommon in other species)
- High percentage of slow-twitch fibers
- Large Elastic Ventricles
- Long Leg Tendons
- Short Calcaneus
- Elastic Energy Storage in Arch
- Short toes
Running Gave us Persistence Hunting
Our ancestors likely started out scavenging, but we evolved Persistence Hunting: because we can run longer than all other animals. Why, because we can dissipate heat extremely well. We can run and breathe. We can run and sweat. And they don’t dissipate heat well, they can’t sweant and most importantly – they pant to dissipate heat. But when they run(gallop) they can’t pant. While quadrupeds can gallop faster than humans can run, humans can run a marathon above the trot-gallop transition speed of most game – forcing them game into gallop where it can’t pant and dissipate heat. In the middle of the day, in the heat, they chose a big animal, forced it to gallop away until it hides to rest. The track it, then chase it again, and repeat. Over about 15-30 km, half of which they spend walking, they can drive big game into hyperthermia so that it just dies from overheating. The technique is about 75% successful which puts man up with the domestic cat and the African dog (wolf) as the most successful predators on earth. The African hunter-gatherers call this The Great Dance.

Fellow Super Predatory Kill Rates
African wild dogs – 85% successful kills (but only hold 30%)
Man – 70% successful kills
Domestic cat (in wild) – 70% successful kills
Cheetah – 58% successful kills
Leopard – 38% successful kills
Lion – 30% successful kills
Wolves – 14% successful kills
Polar bear – 10% successful kills
Tiger – 5% successful killsCooperation
But we can divide labor, we can share food, we can share food capture and preparation.
We can share food preparation. We can’t chew raw meat, Human teeth are poorly adapted for chewing raw meat but you can slice it, and pound it even before cooking.
Using persistence hunting, food preparation, rates of reproduction, hunter-gatherer population density, we can estimate that it would take only 50-100k years for Erectus to ‘fill’ Africa and create pressure to migrate out of Africa, and disperse into the south pacific.
Failings
Evidence suggests that they were social, but lazy and incurious, taking advantage of running, and their success at running down game, but not seeking innovation or excellence in tools.
Exceptional Success
Homo erectus first appeared about 1.8 million years ago and, based on the fossil evidence, quickly populated Africa, Asia and Europe. Though it is unclear whether the species arose in Africa or Asia, a million years later the widespread populations were still similar enough to be considered a single species, White argued. The largest number of Homo erectus specimens are from Asia, including the first specimen – “Java Man.”
The onset of the Ice Ages about 950,000 years ago likely split the Homo erectus populations and led to their divergent evolution. The African population of Homo erectus probably gave rise to modern Homo sapiens, the European branch perhaps became the Neandertals, while the Asian population went extinct.
Anthropological “splitting” that’s common today gives the wrong impression of the biology of these early human ancestors. The different names indicate an apparent diversity that is not at least initially subsantive. Homo erectus is a biologically successful organism, not a whole series of different human ancestors, all but one of which went extinct.”
By the time Homo erectus disappeared some 400,000 years ago, its various populations had clearly diverged, since 500,000-year-old fossils from Asia, including “Peking Man,” differ significantly from African fossils of the same age, particularly in the size of the cranium.
The last known record of morphologically recognisable H. erectus are from Java, around 117–108,000 years ago. The disappearance of H. erectus is a matter of dispute but as we see throuhout history, as soon as members of Genus Homo are able to use tools, more advanced generations replace more primitive peoples, rather rapidly.
We want to make two observations: (a) the route out of africa thru the horn and iberia, and (b) the date they appear to disappear ~100k BC. And later on, when we discuss ‘Geography in Everything’, it won’t be a surprise.

Generation One:
Early Homo sapiens (H. sapiens) (~300,000 BC to 50,000 BC) evolves out of ancestral Homo erectus (or an intermediate species such as the hypothesized Homo antecessor, or in Europe as Homo heidelbergensis ) in Africa roughly 500,000 years ago. Between 350,000 and 260,000 years ago populations in East and South Africa merged, while North-African populations dispersed and hybridized into the Neandertals. H. sapiens disperse almost immediately with North African archaeological finds 315,000 years ago, in West Asia by 270,000 South Africa about 259,000 years ago, and in Greece 210,000 years ago.Generation Two: Anatomically Modern Humans

Generation Two:
Homo Sapiens – Anatomically Modern Human (AMH) (~200,000 BC ) distinguishes Homo sapiens that are anatomically consistent with the range of phenotypes (physical body shapes and in particular skeletons) seen in contemporary humans from extinct archaic human species. This distinction is useful especially for times and regions where anatomically modern and archaic humans co-existed such as in Paleolithic Europe. The oldest known skeleton of an anatomically modern human(AMH) dates to about 196,000 years ago. (Or approximately 200k BC).Limited Technology: It’s unclear to what extent these early modern humans had developed social abilities, techniques, and institutions such as language, music, religion, etc. They spread throughout Africa over the following approximately 50,000 years.
Maximization of Physical Form (Exhaustion of Physical Adaptivity): Most importantly is that the physical features that produced human super-predation have completed their evolution: limited digestion, narrow waisted, long legged, tall, narrow pelvis, hairless, hands free to manipulate tools and carry resource, and the ability to out disspate heat and together to out-endure every other living animal on earth except other humans. A group of humans with simple heat hardenend spears can run-down or walk-down anything living until it’s exhausted, and kill it safely.

Generation Three:
Basal Modern Human (BMH): These megadroughts result in the origin of basal population of contemporary human populations by 130,000 years ago that spread until 75000 years ago – roughly mirroring the droughts. The BMH were morphologically modern, but not technologically or culturally modern – they weren’t substantially different in technology from neanderthals.The First Great Split:
Capoid-Khosian South migrate, Niger-Congo and Nilo-Saharan migrate Central and West, and East Africans Remain.
During this period, from Around 100,000 BC–80,000 BC, three main lines of Homo sapiens diverged:1 – Bearers of mitochondrial haplogroup L1 (mtDNA) / A (Y-DNA) colonizing Southern Africa (the ancestors of the Khoisan/Capoid peoples). The Khoi-San represent an “ancestral population cluster” located in southwestern Africa (near the coastal border of Namibia and Angola).
2 – Bearers of haplogroup L2 (mtDNA) / B (Y-DNA) settling Central and West Africa (the ancestors of Niger–Congo and Nilo-Saharan speaking peoples).
3 – Bearers of haplogroup L3 remained in East Africa.The Failed Migrations:
The Failed North Migration Out of Africa (Levantine Corridor). They also spread north along the nile, through the Levantine corridor and into West Asia 80,000 to 100,000 years ago, but either went extinct or retreated back to Africa 70,000 to 80,000 years ago, possibly replaced by southbound Neanderthals escaping the colder regions of ice-age Europe. Genetic evidence suggests that admixture with Neanderthals occurred during this period – meaning likely a consequence of survival under duress – possibly competitive duress.The Failed East Migration out of Africa (Red Sea Crossing): They also migrated the route through the present-day Bab-el-Mandeb Strait on the Red Sea (at that time, with a much lower sea level and narrower extension), crossing to the Arabian Peninsula and settling in places like the present-day United Arab Emirates (125,000 years ago) and Oman (106,000 years ago), and the Indian Subcontinent (75,000 years ago), and perhaps even southern China (67,000 years ago – although evidence is uncertain), and South Asia and Australia (50,000 years ago.) Although no reliable human remains have yet been found in these places, the similarities between the stone tools and what little remains we have, suggest that their creators were all modern humans. But these migrations from Africa didn’t leave traces in the results of genetic analyses, suggesting that those anatomically modern humans didn’t survive in large numbers and were assimilated by our major antecessors, or died out.

Neanderthal Aside: The archeological community is desperately overcompensating for previous denials of human hybridization with neanderthals, The assumption of complete replacement has been revised in the 2010s with the discovery of admixture events (introgression) of populations of H. sapiens with populations of archaic humans over the period of between roughly 100,000 and 30,000 years ago, both in Eurasia and in Sub-Saharan Africa. Neanderthal admixture, in the range of 1-4%, is found in all modern populations outside of Africa, including in Europeans, Asians, Papua New Guineans, Australian Aboriginals, Native Americans, and other non-Africans. This suggests that interbreeding between Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans took place after the recent “out of Africa” migration, likely between 60,000 and 40,000 years ago.[86][87][88] Recent admixture analyses have added to the complexity, finding that Eastern Neanderthals derive up to 2% of their ancestry from anatomically modern humans who left Africa some 100 kya.[89] The extent of Neanderthal admixture (and introgression of genes acquired by admixture) varies significantly between contemporary racial groups, being absent in Africans, intermediate in Europeans and highest in East Asians. Certain genes related to UV-light adaptation introgressed from Neanderthals have been found to have been selected for in East Asians specifically from 45,000 years ago until around 5,000 years ago.[90] The extent of archaic admixture is of the order of about 1% to 4% in Europeans and East Asians, and highest among Melanesians (the last also having Denisova hominin admixture at 4% to 6% in addition to neanderthal admixture). Cumulatively, about 20% of the Neanderthal genome is estimated to remain present spread in contemporary populations.
Crisis: Near Extinction
The Population Bottleneck 70,000 Years Ago. Genetic evidence suggests that today’s humans are descended from a very small population of between 1,000 and 10,000 breeding pairs that existed about 70,000 years ago. It’s possible that the Toba Super Volcanic Event (74,000 years ago), and the global consequences, may have pushed humans, already fragile becuase of the climate, to the brink of extinction. It may have just put additional migratory pressure on the small population too seek better food sources, or its effects may have have been negligible. Either way, the result was a tiny population and another effort colonize the world outside of africa.Opportunity and Crisis: Red Sea floods
The barrier across Bab-el-Mandeb, between Ethiopia and Yemen underwent an outbreak flooding similar to that found in the Mediterranean. The Lake Toba event, approximately 70,000 years ago, caused a massive drop in sea levels, exposing the barrier and enabling modern Homo sapiens to leave Africa via an alternative route than Sinai. Saline evaporites found on the floor of the Red Sea confirms that this dam has closed at various periods in the past. Rising sea levels during earlier interglacial periods suggest that this area was subject to outburst flooding.Generation Four: Behavioral Modernity: The First Great Leap Forward
Generation Four: The “Great Leap Forward” leading to full behavioral modernity sets in only after this separation. Rapidly increasing sophistication in tool-making and behaviour is apparent from about 80,000 years ago, and the migration out of Africa follows towards the very end of the Middle Paleolithic, some 60,000 years ago.
Recent Out of Africa Migration: At the end of the Megadrought, beginning around 70,000-50,000 years ago, Basal Contemporary Humans (BCH) re-populated Eurasia. In this expansion, bearers of mt-DNA haplogroup L3 left East Africa, likely reaching Arabia via the Bab-el-Mandeb (the mouth of the Red Sea), and in the Great Coastal Migration spread across Arabia, into South Asia (India), Maritime South Asia (southeast asia) and Oceania between 65,000-50,000 years ago.
Likely Opportunity: Exploitation of ocean fishing.
Rate of Migration: Surviving hunter-gatherers migrate by a kilometer (half-mile) per year.
Scale of Migration: Disturbingly small – the number of those that migrated and survived may have been small. Very small. As little as one hundred people.Dispersal: The From the Port of Africa to the Ports Of Eurasia
Routes Out of Africa: Uncertainty. We are not entirely clear on the routes modern humans took as they migrated from east africa. There are at least three routes out of the region and into eurasia:
West: Strait of Gibraltar: The Strait of Gibraltar is only 14 km wide with heavy currents. A decrease in sea levels during the Pleistocene due to glaciation would not have brought this down to less than 10 km. Some researchers have also suggested the route across Sicily but this fails both archeological evidence, and rational incentives given the knowledge at the time.
North: The Levantine Corridor across the Nile delta and the Sinai Peninsula into the Levant. And the strait of Gibraltar. Archaeological remains suggest repeated use of the Levantine corridor and genetic analysis of human populations suggests that this route was more important for migration and trade over time. But that doesn’t tell us about human dispersal out of Africa. Recent evidence suggests that while early H. sapiens spread north through the Levantine corridor 80,000 to 100,000 years ago, these humans either went extinct or retreated back to Africa 70,000 to 80,000 years ago, possibly replaced by southbound Neanderthals escaping the colder regions of ice-age Europe.
South: The Bab-el-Mandeb strait (Red Sea Route) is 20km wide, then an island, then 2km wide. The Red Sea straight is a more likely dispersal route given the pattern of human dispersal, and the distribution of, and rates of differentiation of different peoples of the world. But while it’s a narrow strait it’s not as obvious a route as the Levantine corridor. And despite the distance, during this period of drought, the sea level was lower, making the straight passable. But perhaps more importantly, today’s Persian gulf is a likely candidate for Eden – with rivers feeding what was at the time, a lush region of fertile land and marshes for hunting game. And while evidence is still emerging, there was some sort of industrial complex producing tools and trading with East Africa during the period. So it’s difficult to believe from the archaeology that the southern route
Migration occurs in all directions: north up the red sea, into the Levant, east then north along the Persian Gulf and Mesopotamian rivers, and then east along the coast, and back across are all equally plausible. Like Johnny Appleseed, they seeded groups behind them as they spread. And those seeds took everywhere along the southern route all the way to Australia. It’s this evidence of following the seas, crossing visible horizons of water, and tools for fishing, that weakens objections to the southern route as the primary means of modern human dispersal.

Upper Paleolithic (50,000 BC to 9700 BC) >
Behaviorally Modern Humans >
Generation Five: Physically, Culturally, Behaviorally, and Technologically Modern.The people who dispersed along this route appear to have been technologically and culturally modern as well as physically modern. Instead of a few primitive stone tools, they had specialized hunting, the use of aquatic (ocean) resources, blade and microlithic technology, fishing tools, bone shaped as a tool, hearths, significant artifact diversity, and elaborate graves, systematic processing and use of pigment, and art and decoration. Art becomes common as does increased geographic range and long-distance trade.
They traveled over longer distances. From these coastal expansions, they spread into Eurasia, East and North Asia by about 45,000 years ago. The earliest of these migrations reached present-day Australia, with humans arriving between 50,000 and 40,000 years ago.
They maintained a nomadic lifestyle of hunting and gathering, and some populations began to establish seasonal or permanent human settlements. These settlements are some of the first known organized, permanent civilizations. Ancient humans designed these establishments to include sleeping quarters, kitchens, butchering areas, and underground storage in order to preserve food.
They emerged into a world of west Eurasian Neanderthals, east Eurasian and Asian Denisovans, and likely remnants of earlier – perhaps three or four different hominids, with multiple branches in isolated regions such as the islands; and possibly remains of Eomo Erectus or others. We these ancestors adapted morphologically, and quickly – possibly because of the rate at which they could spread. And they were sexually opportunistic ( indiscriminate ) and mixed with Neanderthals, Denisovans, and one or more Ghost (lost) populations. So sustained admixture (Hybridization) between archaic humans and modern humans occurred both in Africa. And in 30k years, by 30K years ago, we had hybridized and exterminated the previous species of hominids (competitors).
Travel, Communication and Trade: The greatest contributions of the Upper Paleolithic Revolution were over-water travel, the establishment of long-range trade routes, and the development of complex spoken languages.
The Upper Paleolithic Revolution: This expansion results in The Upper Paleolithic Revolution between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago, just before the widespread practice of agriculture. It produces fully modern behavior, including figurative art, music, self-ornamentation, trade, burial rites etc. is evident by 30,000 years ago. The oldest unequivocal examples of prehistoric art date to this period, the Aurignacian and the Gravettian periods of prehistoric Europe, such as the Venus figurines and cave painting (Chauvet Cave) and the earliest musical instruments (the bone pipe of Geissenklösterle, Germany, dated to about 36,000 years ago).
Rapid Adaptive Speciation
The First Invisible Age
t looks like no one really knows. The best candidates for the various dispersals are around the pre-flood Persian gulf just like the neolithic expansion around upper Mesopotamian rivers, just like the later expansion around the black sea. But some authors advocate the Levantine corridor and basal Eurasian in the Sinai. AFAIK this is an artifact of the availability of data the same way we know so much more about europe and the levant than the rest of the world.
A Gradual Process or Incremental Revolutions? ( … )
Divisions: Origins of The Basal Populations
The Coastal Dispersal: Southern route across the then-passable Red Sea Straight, across the Saudi Arabian peninsula (Today’s Yemen), across the then-closed Persian gulf with its two freshwater lakes, and along the Coast of India to the Indus River Valley, then the Ganges, and continuing along the coast to southeast Asia, eventually reaching then-combined Australia–New Guinea landmass. Subsequent migrations, partly driven by agricultural expansions, have largely erased the genetic evidence of this early dispersal, with the possible exception of certain ‘refugia’ populations, such as Southeast Asian hunter-gatherers (e.g., Malaysian Semang and Filipino Negrito groups), Andamanese and indigenous Australians.
The Basal Eurasians – “We Don’t Know”
The Basal South Eurasian Dispersal: (South of the black sea, caucuses, and Caspian sea) By …. the basal south Eurasians have formed by spreading from today’s Persian gulf and Pakistan, into today’s Iran, Caucuses and Anatolia, and into Mesopotamia, the Levant, and north Africa.
Basal West Eurasian Dispersal (West of the Urals and north of the Caucuses) ( … ) By … the basal central Eurasians have formed by spreading north (we don’t know how) east of the Caspian, and into today’s Russia.
Basal East Eurasian Dispersal (east of the Urals and North of the Himalayas) … ) by … the basal east Eurasians have formed by spreading north and east (we don’t know how) into today’s Tibet, Mongolia, and Siberia. This group appears to have split off into today’s north China, Korea, and Japan.
The Basal East Asian Dispersal: A branch of these early arrivals 60000 years ago, migrated northward, and settled East Asia. However, the genetic history of East Asia consists of three waves of immigrants from the south, followed by two waves of migrants from the north and west, including a smaller, later dispersal between 15–50 kya or 40-30 ka) arrived from the north of the Himalayas. This immigration pattern produced a north-south cline of east asians that we still observe today.
Like the rest of Eurasia, while East Asia consisted of divergent groups, the agrarian expansion dominated the genetic expansion and somewhat homogenized the regional populations in east and south asia just as it did in central Eurasia and western Europe. But unlike the indo european expansion in Eurasia, and like the southwest Eurasians of the middle east, the East Asians were relatively unaffected by the indo european expansion, and as such had less hybridization with the west Eurasians.
The Future will produce:
The Basal Ancient North Eurasians will not evolve until 24, 000 BC, and it’s their admixture with eastern and western hunter-gatherers that provides the genetic basis for the cultural and technological revolution of the indo Europeans.
The Basal Early Americans (Amerindians) will evolve from admixture between north Asians and ancient north Eurasians thereafter.
The Basal Modern Europeans evolve only 5000 years ago, by the hybridization of western and eastern hunter-gatherers, early neolithic farmers, and Steppe pastoralists.
