—“Genetic deviation between groups is smaller than between individuals in the group.”— That is a meaningless truism that easily fools the innumerate. – ethnocentrism is the optimum group political strategy. – markets the optimum economic strategy. – eugenics the optimum group competitive strategy. – neoteny the optimum genetic strategy. Very minor variations in group genes produce very profound group outcomes. It appears that a relatively small number of genes (in the thousands) produces 100% of the competitive variation between groups (symmetry, neoteny, dimorphism). Meanwhile we have no idea how much of the genome is used (functional), which expressed (conditional), which unused (reserve) or noise (dead). As such, “deviation between groups vs individuals” is in itself true but by implication a profound deception (fraud).
