Nope
Whose laughing now honkey
stop it you racist
ELLE OH ELLE
some ethnic groups are more suited for certain levels of "civilization" than others
why?
a mixture of genetic and cultural factors
I don't think that "genetic" is the reason of development
why not?
the culture maybe
but the genetic no
Culture largely stems from genetics.
example?
Differences in genetic capability for civilization-qualities like cooperation, trust, future-orientation, etc
No, that is the culture
these are genetic, population scale differences
no it isn't
no it doesn't
no values like future-orientation or other heritable traits
IQ is largely heritable
personality traits are 50-70% heritable
a culture as a meta-structure may adopt population scale traits as valuable
and some of those traits certainly play a bigger role at creating higher civilization than others
yes
If a culture is very conservative, there will be no progress
Example some african cultures
again, that largely depends on the general intelligence and personality traits of the population at hand
The intelligence depends of the culture and the way of life
@Kalier Progress is only necessary if the environment changes
in a traditionalist culture
What is the antonym of tradition?
Drawing a blank here
intelligence depends very little on culture / way of life. extensive twin research demonstrates this
its mostly heritable
and nutrition?
nutrition is a red herring, historically speaking
its not really a distinct variable in the civilization building eras we're discussing
