Razib and Cochrane are hardly White Nationalists, and neither am I. <BR/><BR/>But the point was really about the the way genes spread in the pre-medieval period in Europe. That is, how else could lactose tolerance spread, given humans probably did not start out with it. It's an example of how genes interact with culture, and how they spread. Evolution is about selection, and this is a specific mechanism, one that is hardly relevant today where calories and even protein is cheap in developed economies.Eric Falkensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07243687157322033496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905515.post-51890778425484542902009-03-04T12:36:00.000-06:002009-03-04T12:36:00.000-06:00Genetic theories of White global dominance seem to...Genetic theories of White global dominance seem to have the problem that the balance of world power was quite different 500 years ago, when genetics were presumably the same.<BR/><BR/>People living in London 400 years ago were hardworking, individualistic, and concerned with maintaining social stability, but they were still dirt poor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905515.post-73437947276463016902009-03-01T03:53:00.000-06:002009-03-01T03:53:00.000-06:00These people are not very familiar with primitive ...These people are not very familiar with primitive pastoralism. There is no separation between beef and milch cattle breeding, as some cows are always milked for babies and children. Chinese, for example, are intolerqant for milk when adults, yet keep cattle for milk. Cochran is searching for something similar to Jared Diamond's success, a reason why White people conquered others, a PC reason acceptable to all. I think it was not the lactose gen, it was the political ability to get organized and to fight in groups.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676167615981895061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905515.post-15456258979588437092009-02-28T22:16:00.000-06:002009-02-28T22:16:00.000-06:00That's a very interesting point on the per-calorie...That's a very interesting point on the per-calorie use of cows in breeding, haha, who woulda thunk it? <BR/><BR/>Definitely a worth while economics lesson as well!Bullish Bankershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533628422821331642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905515.post-57392351960584306862009-02-28T20:03:00.000-06:002009-02-28T20:03:00.000-06:00Milk and pasta with a thick Bolognese sauce pwns.Milk and pasta with a thick Bolognese sauce pwns.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905515.post-88892070772652719482009-02-28T16:48:00.000-06:002009-02-28T16:48:00.000-06:00When are you going to show up on bloggingheads?When are you going to show up on bloggingheads?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
