Hierarchism and the myth of ill will
2023-04-19 13:46 I have previously mentioned population growth as consequence of the development of agriculture.  This did not only result in the spread of agriculture over the world.  Population density also increased where agriculture was established.
Why ill will is a myth
2023-04-14 13:13 I don’t think ill will exist because I can’t see it filling any evolutionary function.  So why would humanity have it to a lager or lesser degree?  Egoism, anger and revenge fills evolutionary functions.
What is one-sided exploitation?
2023-04-12 14:25 When people are used by others without consideration of conflicting goals.  Oftentimes the exploiter does not know the conflicting goal exist.  I don’t think this was payed attention to until the 19th century.
What is conflicting goals?
2023-03-30 13:20 It means different people wanting different things.  Of cause, it happens people want the same thing.  But you can’t presuppose this to always to be the case.
In defence of migrationism
2023-03-24 11:41 This is not about promoting migration.  Instead, this is about migration as explanation for the spread of agriculture.  Historically this idea has been associated with racism.
Which differences there are evidence for
2023-03-22 13:55 I have previously pointed out that human nature is the same everywhere.  This of cause does not mean we have not evolved at all.  Naturally there are differences in physical characteristics between different parts of the world.
Human nature changes too slowly
2023-03-22 13:36 What you need to know about human evolution is how long generation time we have.  Genetic scientists count 25 years as a human generation.  This is the average difference in age between parents and children over many societies.
The demands of the original human society
2023-02-16 16:55 It is problematic to think physical strength was crucial to human survival.  If the original condition demanded this, how could we succeed the Neandertals?  They had markedly larger muscles than we.
The myth of our evil nature
2023-01-31 13:51 I once heard an American saying “nature is evil”.  Now this was eavesdropped out of context.  But I can’t help seeing this as a symptom of just how out of touch with the natural world too many Americans have become.
On social incompetency
2023-01-26 13:25 A far too large fraction of humanity holds severe misconceptions about what others can and want.  It is one thing to live in a society where you can’t learn to know others.
