It was only before that they were sailing out looking for trading partners.
And another when they decided to search again.
It was the ideas of the emperor that changed. How does the genetics affect that?
This relative isolation lead to different societes and those different socites lead to those different peoples having differen forms of government which worked for them.
Autocraatic? Then how does that explain the mongols?
They also were very good at spreading their seed, and assimilating other nations.
I told you I don't know why Asians are more autocratic I gess their environment required it.
How about the zulus in africa?
They assimilated them in the sort term. After the Mongols fell their ideas and culture were replaced by others.
They were able to wage war against technologically superior enemies
Because of the death of a leader.
And lost what is your point? @Deleted User
Same with rome
Genes don't determine ability, is what i'm saying
Khan's strategic prowess did not pass down to his sons.
How about Babur and the Mughals?
Yes the Romans were a genetic population on the ethnic level and once the Italians lost alot of that blood they weren't as successful anymore.
They took over delhi, and the rest of north india, while being technologically primitive and numerically smaller
Or because they relied too much on conquest and were running out of land to give to their millitary that wasnt being thinned out by war.
And replacing them with less disciplined barbarians that were paid the same despite being less disciplined which led to the downfall of quality.
Once the Babure and Mughals lost control they didn't have much cultural influce that stayed because they didn't leave a large genetic legacy.
To be honest, I feel like I am having a very good discussion here.
But you know what?
How would be go about testing this?
Assuming we have infinite resources at our disposal
Sure.
This would be more fun to theorize
So heres the thing, youd need some genetic stock from a sizable population.
Divided by race?
Ok.
So you get like say
What is defined by genetics really?
Like 100 asian samples, 100 african ones, 100 caucasian ones.
X race I mean
Like divided youd get mongolian, scottish, british, german ect
How specific could it go though?
I would say the ethnic/nationality leve.
Ignore health issues as well id assume
Or like, in perfect health. Nothing with any blemishes both mental and physical
ok
