^ whoops that can’t be right. The book “why beauty matters” is deconstructionist propaganda. In that case, I can’t remember this book recommendation. It’s not “the painted word” by Tom Wolfe, although that’s another good one if people like the decline and fall.

From "African Population Projections: 1850-1960" by Patrick Manning

"Because chimps are brainier than baboons, they take longer to reach adulthood, and their slower maturation rate means they demand more maternal care. As a consequence, chimps have an older age of initial reproduction and lower rate of reproduction than baboons."
🤔 🤔 🤔
Whatchya thinking about it?
Just interesting?
I'm thinking this theory is applicable to our own species. I find nature's consistency to be satisfying.
I’m fairly certain average gestation period of blacks is shorter than whites

Asians are pretty fascinating. I need to learn more about them and their evolutionary past
Like I’m not super informed but apparently they are in general, and especially the Chinese insanely conformist
