With your cheap, copout nuance, @Nerthulas

species classification really is a minor issue because some have higher reproductive rates and other are lower it doesn't change the philosophy that drove the population growth to unsustainable levels

Genes when it serves us, culture and environment when it doesn't

Equal by what metric?

@BabygottBach do you understand that there is a continuum of life, and that 'species' is a relatively arbitrary designation?

Are individuals with, for example, hereditary disease, indistinct in ability and behaviour from other individuals free of such disease? @BabygottBach

culture and environment are genes

@Nerthulas you mean like race?

Son of a gun the tag didn't work

until you understand that genes make culture and environment, you will never get anywhere

to really understand this chart you need to know how PCA works..... geneetic differences can be considered as an extremely high dimensional vector space. no way to visualize. principal component analysis breaks this down and projects it into 2 dimensions like a shadow. PCA1 is the most significant variation. PCA2 is the 2nd most significant variation that's orthogonal to the first. you cant compare scale between X and Y theyre different units. WE see here that african genetics are on a completely different level compared to all other human races on PC1, the most significant axis.

yes, race is a relatively arbitrary designation, you can draw races wide or small, specific or broad

@Str3tch, what makes genes?

hey, where did GENES come from?

East Asians have higher intelligence, Africans have higher height. Neither is superior to, or equal to the other.

I guess genes created the big bang.

Genes create environment, after all

@BabygottBach u <:kekboi:417880491182653450>

the environment and culture is the output of other ppl's genes

Where

did

the reality is that there is a continuum of related living organisms who differ in traits, and that we can draw circles around groups of organisms with some level of similarity

genes

genes can shape environment and environment shapes genes

FIRST

come from?

Are individuals with, for example, hereditary disease, indistinct in ability and behaviour from other individuals free of such disease? @BabygottBach

genes came from RNA

@Leaf, ofc not. How does this impact the discussion about genetic determinist narratives about history?

epigenetics won't make jamal a genius

actually you are on the discord of one of the foremost theorists of the relationship between RNA and DNA

currently

@Nerthulas, right. And where did RNA come from?

RNA came from more simple proteins

Where did they come from?

Yeah gene-culture coevolution is basically confirmed at this point. Lots of evidence for self-domestication in humans (the degree to which also differs between races btw)

they came from chemical elements
