Did you actually read the Diamond book, Abacab? If you did, your reading comprehension is shit.

The biggest differences were beasts of burden and the direction of trade routes. Africa and South America both have shitloads of mineral resources, but they didn't have good animals to help with physical labor and the north to south orientation of both continents made it hard to migrate with familiar crops. In contrast, Europe and Asia developed with multiple species of large domesticated mammals and the trade routes developed along longitudinal lines.

Oh and uh.. wehrmacht... I guess you're right. Science is a bitch, and I'm not politically correct: It must be hard for you to swallow that there's almost no (i.e. nothing of importance) genetic difference between you and a black person or an indian or whatever group you have beef with, which from your posting history seems to be blacks but who knows... so you have to proliferate lies and hatred to make yourself feel better.

Go get cozy in your bed tonight, put a gun in your mouth, and pull the trigger because the world would be better without faggots like you.

Woah econ professor, I don't mean to bust your balls but I'm fairly certain labor is considered a resource, and shit like oxen would fall underneath this. Only an idiot would believe that isolated villages in sub-Sahara Africa, or packs of nomads living in the cold, barren, Mongolian steppes would have had the same resource advantages as the Middle East, Central Europe, and coastal Asian countries.

You're trying to knock me for a simplistic example that only scratches 1% of the reason why certain societies by-passed others, I don't have the time to write a 110 page thesis over human progress from the stone age and on, but if you missed my point that "some areas have advantages over others" and that greatly influenced the way society was forged then the only thing you're doing right now is trolling.

Truth.

Two white people can have a black baby, just as two black people can have a white baby, because if anywhere down your genetic line be it from a century ago or ten thousand years ago that there is a genetic trait resembling of people from certain areas of the world (asia, africa, native america etc.) it can resurface at any given time.

Genes are genes, it's not race because if people were totally different nothing could be mingled, just like a St. Bernard and a Beagle are both dogs it's just selective breeding that made them different, it's only the genes and both those species can mate cause genetically they're the same.

Racism wouldn't even be the word, it's more like culuralist because we only hate people that don't adhere to our moral standards and the reason some people hate blacks, or asians, or even hispanics comes from a self-gratifying thought that our culture is superior.

No, I'm trying to knock you because I think you either didn't read the book or else you didn't understand it. Culture doesn't advance when everybody is busy scratching a subsistence living out of a dirt farm. That's Diamond's thesis on why the golden crescent dominated.

It's ill-advised to bring the subjective term negligible into your supposedly scientific argument.

Evolution occurs with every generation. Biology isn't like pokemon. your lineage doesn't need to gain a million years of levels before spontaneously pooping out a raichu. Your genetic differentiation from your parents is an example of evolution.

Bio 101 example: Africans present with sickle cell at a higher rate than other populations. Sickle cell disease actually confers a resistance to malaria. Malaria is a huge problem in Africa for white people -- in colonial times we called it the "white man's disease" because we honkies died at alarming rates while the natives were thriving. This didn't come about through natural selection? Our evolutionary history is identical?

You've taken the "99.99% of our genes are the same!" cliche and based a fallacious argument on it. You do not judge what is negligible with your gut and your cock. If it can be detected with statistical significance, it can only be your meaningless uneducated redneck opinion that it is "negligible". Keep that noise to yourself.

Wow. Do you really believe this?

I take it you don't believe in the "out of africa" theory then.
