In Doing SO

@RealPinkDreams As a result, successive generations of Ashkenazi benefited from this culling process by inheriting genes that gave them higher I.Q.s, better dispositions, and greater disease resistance.

@RealPinkDreams If it weren't for Hitler, Jews wouldn't be as successful as they are today. He accelerated The Evolution of Eastern European Jews (The Ashkenazi) by trying to annihilate them. In doing this he placed a selective pressure on them that although seemed arbitrary, inadvertently culled the least physically and mentally fit. You had to be disease resistant and mentally tough to survive in the ghettos and concentration camps or you had to be a lucky lender or banker (with a high IQ).

@PeeGeeBeeDee No "expert" uses all caps for a sentence - only for emphasis. I am so tired of hearing from "You Tube experts" who know Einstein was wrong or Maxwell had it wrong or Evolution is not "real" or only their religion has all the answers. It's the age of "everyone's an expert" but unfortunately, few are.
You may be an expert in many things but not in genetics or anthropology. Or maybe everyone else is completely wrong and you're right (based on extensive testing I'm sure - LOL)

@Jagged85 His point is that over Thousands of Years intelligence increased in certain populations and some of these populations with increased intelligence destroyed and conquered some of those Empires (Northern populations defeating Southern populations). These race based differences in intelligence remain today and have only gotten deeper, hence the political, social, and economic differences between some of these Northern populations and some of the populations that were formerly Empires.
-
That was only in the last millennium. Up until the 13th century, the largest empires in history were mainly centred around the Middle East (Persian and Arab empires), Southern Europe (Macedonian and Roman empires), Central Asia (Turk empires), Southern Asia (Maurya empire), and North Africa (Carthaginian empire).
If Hart were only talking about the last millennium, then it might be believable, but to stretch his hypothesis back to antiquity is extremely implausible.

@smb12321 I AM AN EXPERT, My Buddy. And You Are WRONG!

@PeeGeeBeeDee Let me put it another way. Experts whose life work concerns this subject totally disagree with you. Now, they may be completely wrong (I doubt it) and you may be 100% right.
We know know that many factors affect formative societies but principally its eco systems (hate that term). They dictate particular modes of eating, work, play and creativity. A society becomes what it is by adjusting to their surroundings THEN the genes kick it.
I may be wrong though. LOL
Dr. Hart is an absolute genius! All scholars should read "Understanding Human History." It lacks the political correctness many other academic works are saturated with so it might offend people or be at least a little off-putting. But in its logic it is brutal. THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN RACIAL INTELLIGENCE AND BEHAVIOR. This is something we all know and understand but cannot talk about because of the Nazi-esque tyranny of our state-sponsored ideology: POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.

Are there other books that are "antidotes" to Guns, Germs and Steel? (Dimaond contradicts himself by claiming throughout the book all groups are equal in potential but in one part astoundingly says the Melenesians of New Guinea are the most intelligent people. There's other matters that are problmatic with GGS.)
