    GENETIC COMPOSITION OF EGYPTIANS

    (HINT: You want to have either Phoenician, Persian, or North Caucasian Genetics. The people who got there first did so for a reason.)

    There are two major admixture events that affected north africa.

    In historical order, Egyptians consist of about 45% late east africans, 45% South caucasians, and 10% Phoenicians.

    The last major migration out of africa was about 25000 years ago. Africa is best thought of as three or four separate “continents” due to its size and geography. The mediterranean, the desert, the ‘green band’ from west africa to ethiopia/Yemen, the inhospitable south, and the south/southeast coast.

    The civilization that developed on the trade route between ethiopia and yemen gave birth to that major migration. That migration “E”, spread north and then west into north africa.

    There was an admixture event between west eurasians (Caucasians “J1″) and these peoples. Current admixture (E+J1) is about even between the two. (An interesting nit is that it’s possible north africans domesticated cattle separately. )

    I am not sure of the admixture relationship between the Phoenicians and Berbers, although I am certain there are people in the world who know that. It’s not an area that I have studied. As I understand it the Phoenicians (east mediterraneans) contributed about ten percent to the current distribution.

    So between Red Sea origins, north African expansion, conquest by or integration with, south caucasians (people with black hair), and conquest by/integration with the Phoenicians (as well as some mixture because of the usual mediterranean trade), I think we understand most of the genetic history of North Africans.

    The Arab conquest of North Africa that destroyed North African, Egyptian, and Levantine civilizations left less genetic impression on these peoples than one would think.

    In my understanding, there has been negligible crossover between subsaharan africans and north africans because the desert and distance has been prohibitive.

    The Roman defeat of Carthage (west phoenicians) was a catastrophe for mankind just as the battle between Sparta and Athens, and between Germany(ie: sparta) and england(ie:athens) were catastrophes. We never seem to learn from history that the farmer-army and merchant-navy require each other to compete successfully.

    The Arab conquest was far worse however (as it was everywhere in the world), because islam is the last civilization to adjust to the end of the Abrahamic Dark Age and the Restoration of Science (the enlightenment) and the most resistant to it – and even if we are lucky, it will take another one to two hundred years of progress to bring north africa out of its current condition.

  • ON FRAUDULENT HISTORICISM (READ THIS) One Of The Most Important Bits You Can Eve

    ON FRAUDULENT HISTORICISM (READ THIS)

    One Of The Most Important Bits You Can Ever Read:

    (from elsewhere- similarities between christianity and mithraism)

    The author’s argument uses a methodology called Pilpul (from theology) one technique of which is to construct differences from distinctions – and does not use the methodology used by technological and economic historians, following current scientific method, which is that information spreads exhaustively and is applied to opportunities by all groups that have identified an opportunity to make use of it.

    The fact of the matter is that at the axis of african-eurasian trade routes the pastoralist underclasses and their teachers sought wisdom literature (normative rules) using information from every available religion in a time of rapid change, when the predominance of the homeric epic (the trial of Achilles) filled all the libraries of the Greco-Roman world. The old world’s obsession with Homer equals the Islamic obsession with Muhammed, and medieval with Jesus. Hence why christians closed the stoic schools, then Christians first and Muslims second destroyed everything that addressed those narratives.

    The spreading wealth that disrupted social orders but enabled the underclasses sent them searching for justificationary narratives just as our labor force did under Marx/Freud/Boaz (pseudoscience) in the 19th century and our literary and female classes have under Postmodernism(pseudo-rationalism) in the 20th, just as islamists are doubling down on fundamentalism in the late 20th to early 21st: to preserve local status hierarchies and political rent seeking in the face of change.

    The texts were produced the way scripts are today, and marxism was in the previous century, like a game of telephone where a storyteller with the best story gets status and attention for it. History without exposition of underlying incentives produced by the expansion of social, economic, political, and military markets for status is not historicism, but Mythology.

    There is absurdly obvious similarity between these religions (fantasy moral literature), because all peoples of the high competition, low trust, and high population density in the levant made use of all available technology to create a replacement for the aristocratic mythos’ (Roman, Persian, and Egyptian – the levantine-north-african is lost to us.

    *Among low trust pastoralists unable to develop high-cost, high-trust martial and agrarian ethics of homogenous peoples, expensive rituals that often require recitation of falsehoods (belief) and attendant mythology function as do States and Borders that resist invasion and resist defection.*

    If you understand these simple principles you will understand the levantine origins of authoritarian religion and consequently why far east, india, and far west developed rapidly in isolation and the levant stagnated and declined after the arab conquest and the abrahamic dark age that followed, and th 500M deaths that resulted in the old world and the 100M deaths from communism in the modern world was the greatest crime in history.

    The Abrahamic dark age was the worst catastrophe in human history, second only to the great plagues and diseases, and ever-present malaria. And we are still dragging humanity kicking and screaming one civilization at a time, out of that dark age – at tragic cost to western civilization.

  • WHY SOME CIVILIZATIONS FAIL If you have been following me for a long enough time

    WHY SOME CIVILIZATIONS FAIL

    If you have been following me for a long enough time now that you should be able to observe that I am making a very technical argument that feels, and intuits, to be horrible or excessive to those trained in consensus, cooperation at all costs, literature and philosophy rather than physics, economics, and calculation.

    In my understanding the ‘sympathetic’ properties of traditional argument are a form of mothering and tolerance that can be and has been, exploited under most if not all religions – the assumption of the value of the preservation of attempts at reconciliation of differences.

    But, there is only value in seeking cooperation if and only if we are in fact seeking cooperation, and doing so truthfully. Because otherwise it is not an attempt at truth or trade but deception, boycott, or parasitism.

    I have, as did nietzsche, (and have the chinese thru different means) come to understand that this was a profound mistake. There is a limit to the extension of kinship love to non kin and that limit is determined by the willingness to speak truthfully regardless of the impact on the status (dominance/competence) hierarchy.

    And the end result of tolerance is dysgenic, and the benefits of civilization gradually lost. It is fairly common knowledge that the even given that islam was spread by the sword and destroyed the great knowlege producing civilizations, the rather rapid failure of islamic civilizaiton esp after 1200 was due to its underclass utility and its consequential stagnation by overemphasis on tolerance rather than encouraging, rewarding, competition, and the social reward of heroism. Combined with inbreeding, and inbreeding with slaves (which is about the inverse of american blacks and whites) this produced first predation, then peace, then stagnation. The only reason for the conquests was a vast number of excess males, just as we are seeing today. And that is the cause of all disorder: an excess of males with no sexual market value because the economy is too primitive to provide them with opportunity. The only result under that model is the STEM family (extended tribal family) wherein people of low productivity pool their resources. This causes inbreeding, and reinforces not only familialism, and tribalism, but the low trust endemic in the islamic world (which muslims are incognizant of).

    Families will evolve to be dysfunctional if we do not have the competition between mother’s foolish exhaustive tolerance, and father’s limits, brother’s competition and alliance and sister’s competition and satisfaction.

    This same principle applies to nations and civilizations, and those that took the maternal path (islam, africa) and those that took the paternal path (aryan and modern europe, east asia) progressed rapidly and everyone else DECLINED. The same thing that happened in Islam happened in west africa. From dominance to decline in fairly short order.

    So in argumentative technique, I have used for many years, and I am open about using, never letting the evil people have the last word, but (a) returning any ridiucule, ralllyin or shaming (b) restating the central argument (c) criticizing them for not making such an argument, and then (d) staying with it until they are exhausted. This is somewhat like putting a child in room and ignoring him, except we cannot put these particular chlidren in a room, or beat and slap those particular teens and adults. Instead, we merely exaust every opportunity that they have for gratification for their behavior.

    I had to learn that my people were wrong. Most of us have to. The reason being that most of us and most of our people, and nearly all of our ancestors have been wrong. Not only wrong, but in many cases destructive.

  • Why Do People In Russia And Ukraine Have Asian Looking Eyes Even Though They Are White?

    Um, just to add tidbits for those fascinated by genetic heritage:

    Finnic peoples appear to have evolved around the Obskaya Gulf region (northern Russia near the arctic circle) as all of us seem to have evolved near waterways.

    It appears that they were invaded by (enslaved by, fought with) asiatic siberians in recent prehistory.

    We don’t think of it today, but the ‘eskimos’ (Inuit/Siberian/Arctic peoples) around the arctic circle were aggressive warriors and were successful at exterminating multiple tribal groups – including most of their predecessors in the new world.

    North Russians (Muscovites) are about 25% finnish composition. (If you are still one of those people that think ‘breeds of humans’ are indifferent science has arleady falsified the blank slate, and is in the process of falsifying tribe, subrace, and racial similarities – and we are pretty sure we know the sources of those differences.)

    Every gene study I have seen suggest that the mongol invasion had very little impact on the slavic peoples. Conversely, the slavic slave trade had a significant genetic impact on the Byzantine/Turkic population.

    The region’s major gene exporter was today’s Poland, and Poles, Ukrainians, and southern Russians (who are, contrary to russian ‘historicism’, ethnic and previously linguistic ukrainians) spread throughout the territory. They do not have this Finnic and Siberian admixture.

    Russia found eastern european and baltic countries too difficult to rule becasue they were more developed than ethnic russians. So the soviets moved rural russians who had been serfs (slaves) only one or two generations before, into eastern europe and the baltics as the work force.

    The asiatic population of siberia is trivial. Ethnic russians dominate the population everywhere except tribal areas just as canadians host tribal communities in the north.

    So we do see a bit of asiatic gene expression because of (a) russian relocation programs, (b) mongol invasion, (c) the usual territorial cross breeding, and (d) the mobility created by sail, rail, road, and the russian and soviet empires.
