The myth of DIVERSITY part 2 - Skin Deep, Journey in the Divisive Science of Race, by Gavin Evans

The myth of DIVERSITY part 2

Skin Deep, Journey in the Divisive Science of Race, by Gavin Evans


Skin Deep, Journey in the Divisive Science of Race, by Gavin Evans (Oneworld, 2019), is a timely and welcome review of the substantial body of work demonstrating the complete lack of a biological basis for the category of “race,” as well as the historical falsifications and scientific distortions that have been used to promote racism. It is well written and accessible to the non-specialist.
The book’s biographical sketch of Evans states that he was “born in London and grew up in Cape Town, where he became intensely involved in the anti-apartheid struggle. He studied economic history and law before completing a PhD in political studies, writing extensively on race and racism. He lectures in the Culture and Media department at Birkbeck College, London.” His strong antipathy toward racism is clear throughout.
Evans presents a review of relevant research and examines the results with a scientifically based and critical eye, identifying weaknesses in studies that purport to identify racial differences in physical and intellectual capabilities. These weaknesses are due to such limitations as small sample sizes, unwarranted extrapolations from weak statistical correlations, and the assumption that correlation necessarily denotes causation. He also examines exaggerations or misinterpretations presented in the popular press as well as by individuals or groups who distort the science to support predetermined conclusions.
It is impossible in this brief review to effectively summarize all of the topics examined in Skin Deep. We will highlight a few.
Evans provides a good, up-to-date summary of the evidence and interpretations regarding the genetic, paleontological, and archaeological data on human evolution. There is still much to learn. A number of recent fossil discoveries indicate the existence of a greater variety of early hominins than previously known (e.g., Homo flore siensis, aka the “Hobbit,” Homo luzonensis, and Homo naladi), suggesting local adaptation of populations in relatively isolated environments.
However, the one central fact is the overwhelming genetic similarity of all modern humans (Homo sapiens, as opposed to other members of the genus)—a much greater uniformity (99.9 percent) than is the case for most other mammals. This indicates that modern humans either replaced earlier forms and/or genetically subsumed them, when they moved out of Africa, with the latter making only minimal genetic contributions, except for Neanderthals and, perhaps Denisovans.
The bottom line is that all living humans are much more alike than they are different. Within population variation is greater than that between populations. Indeed, those differences are, metaphorically speaking, not even “skin deep.”
Archaeological evidence indicates that sophisticated tool manufacture and other evidence of abstract, symbolic thought (e.g., various forms of art), almost certainly associated with fully developed language, are nearly as old as the appearance of anatomically modern humans ( Homo sapiens ), about 200,000 years ago, before dispersal out of Africa. Consequently, early, anatomically modern humans were already equipped with sophisticated mental capabilities that allowed them to adapt primarily through the use of culture to the new environments into which they migrated—Europe, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas, rather than by physical adaptation.
This runs counter to claims by “hereditarianists” (those who claim that human behavior is largely determined by genetics) that it was the challenge of adapting to new environments encountered in the move out of Africa that prompted biological selection for increased intelligence. This latter contention bears the stated or implicit conclusion that those who remained in Africa were not so challenged and, therefore, did not develop the more advanced intelligence acquired by the emigrants.
Of particular value is Evans’ debunking of the conception that there can be individual genes that control either intelligence in general or categories of behaviors such as “criminality.”
Research has shown that hundreds of genes may have some influence in any particular aspect of intelligence, each one contributing only a tiny amount to the observed variation. Even then, the interactions between them are complex and difficult to isolate. In short, the quest to identify one or a few genes that have a major determinative effect on intelligence has found no scientific validation.
An example of the extremely dangerous and reactionary implications of pseudo-scientific, genetically based interpretations of human behavior is illustrated by Evans. Steve Bannon, shortly before becoming the chief of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, wrote a piece for the fascist publication Breitbart.com promoting the belief that black males have a disproportionately high frequency of an “extreme warrior gene” that leads them to an increased rate of violence. Thus, according to Bannon, “Here’s a thought: What if the people getting shot by the cops did things to deserve it? There are, after all, in this world, some people who are naturally aggressive and violent.”
The gene allegedly identified as promoting extreme warrior behavior, the MAOA-2R allele, is cited by such hack writers as Richard Lynn and Nicholas Wade, to “explain” the supposed overly aggressive behavior of black males. Evans provides an extensive review of research regarding this gene. The bottom line is that there is absolutely no scientific justification for such a claim. Nevertheless, this and similar pseudo-science is employed by Bannon and others to provide an ideological justification for racism to their fascistic base.
A graph showing the spread of human migration
Another important aspect of the concept of race examined by Evans is the mistaken idea that, until recently races corresponded to broad geographic units—Europe, Asia, Africa, etc. And that these populations were cohesive wholes, genetically distinct, and historically stable. In fact, nothing could be farther from the truth. Human populations have been on the move for hundreds of thousands of years, mixing and remixing genetically, culturally, and linguistically, with the rate of movement accelerating significantly following the development of agriculture, beginning roughly 10-12 thousand years ago.
While biological adaptation did occur, these are minor and superficial. Current configurations of physical characteristics simplistically described as races are simply a snapshot in time, reflecting a single moment in an ever-changing landscape. Evans cites dozens of examples of such migrations, including the movement of early agriculturalists from the Middle East into Europe and the southward migration of Bantu-speaking farmers in Africa. Many are only recently being identified through genetic research, such as the discovery of a significant admixture of Eurasian DNA into East Africa dating to about 3,000 years ago.
Evans summarizes the historical data that exposes the promotion of racism by Europeans as an ideological justification for colonialism, that Africans, due to supposed inferior intelligence, were incapable of developing advanced civilizations. Examples cited include ancient Nubia and the Great Zimbabwe.
A ruin from Great Zimbabwe
The bulk of Skin Deep presents an extensive review and critique of the claims by some scientists (very few in number) and others that significant differences in intelligence between races can be identified by IQ tests or other means, championed by the likes of Nicholas Wade and Richard Lynn. Such claims, based on simplistic and unfounded characterizations of what constitutes intelligence and how it can be measured, have been refuted time and again. Evans’ critique is interlaced and supported by countless examples of historical distortions, pseudo-scientific fabrications, religious dogma, and outright lies that have been employed over the last few centuries to justify the characterization of one population or another as inherently inferior and others as superior.
Evans takes particular aim at The Bell Curve, by Herrnstein and Murray. This work of pseudo-science, which purports to document genetically determined differences in intelligence between races, is based on selective, manipulated, and fabricated data and interpretations. It has been repeatedly critiqued by a variety of researchers and demonstrated to have no validity. Nevertheless, its use by those with a racist agenda persists. Evans brings together numerous lines of research that conclusively demonstrate not only the scientific worthlessness of The Bell Curve, but that of others who have followed in this line of “research.”
Time and again, claims of racial differences in intelligence, often based on culturally biased IQ tests, are in fact attributable to historical, social, and economic factors, which have nothing to do with intelligence. An extreme example Evans cites is the conclusion by one researcher that San peoples of the Kalahari Desert have an IQ equivalent to that of an eight-year-old European child. Aside from the fact that the test is based on a cultural context with which the San had little or no experience, Evans observes:
I presume Lynn [the researcher in question] has never met a San person, but my experience suggests the notion that their average intelligence is that of a European eight-year-old is absurd. And the idea that a European child could survive alone in the Kalahari is laughable; the kind of statement that could only be made by someone who’d never set foot in a desert.
And further, regarding San whom Evans has met, “They were all fluent in at least two languages, some in four or more.”
In a critique of one of the most recent examples of “scientific racism,” Nicholas Wade’s A Troublesome Inheritance, Evans states, “No one disputes that human populations evolved for skin color, lactose tolerance, altitude tolerance, defenses against malaria and the rest, but no scientist has provided evidence of population-specific evolution for wealth-making, authoritarianism, tribal loyalty or, indeed, intelligence.”
This is the crux of the matter. Pseudo-scientific works such as Wade’s conflate clearly biological phenomena with historical/cultural behaviors, and claim, without evidence, that the latter evolve in the same manner as the former, in the tradition of Social Darwinism, sociobiology, and the like
The fundamental question one is left with is: Why in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence that, while humans exhibit only a limited range of variation in a few, superficial genetic characteristics, does the concept that races exist as some sort of overriding, bounded phenomena, demarking distinct entities, nevertheless persist?
For all of the valuable information provided by Evans, the book has one significant weakness. His contention that racism is a “belief” rather than an expression of “power” (since “a powerless person can be a racist”) is fundamentally idealist, in the philosophical sense, and leaves the reader with no satisfying explanation as to why such a mistaken and pernicious belief should persist and at times become a justification for vicious behavior and mass murder, even in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence otherwise.
Evans suggests that race science, apparently as an expression of underlying racism, is a constant phenomenon that occasionally bubbles to the surface under certain conditions. In the section “What Motivates Race Science?,” Evans cites Stephen Jay Gould’s observation that each resurgence of race science coincides with waves of political attacks against the poor, which are promoted by the far right. Evans observes, “The process is influenced by the political climate, as illustrated by the proliferation of race science on social media in the wake of Trump’s election campaign and since.”
He attributes the latest resurgence to “the combination of the economic fallout from the 2008 banking crash, the decline of manufacturing and mining jobs in the West, the recalibration of the world economy as information technology changes the world, and to the wars in Syria and elsewhere in years to come.”
And further, “The current wave [of race science] is particularly strong and persistent for reasons … that relate to the rise of ethnic nationalism, which in turn is partly prompted by the existential insecurity, particularly of young white men, in response to a rapidly changing social and economic milieu.
“With the rise of the alt-right, fascists taking to the streets all over Europe, populist, nativist right-wingers winning power in several parts of the world; far-right terrorism on the increase; it is clear that racism, and the ideas that feed it, are more resilient than we hoped. The twentieth century showed us where bad ideas about race can lead. If we don’t want the twenty-first to echo those themes, bad ideas need to be countered whenever and wherever they appear.”
In a number of instances throughout the book, Evans points to the use of racism, including purported differences in intelligence, as ideological justification for oppression, such as colonialism. However, he does not go deeper and make a class analysis. Throughout history, racism and other forms of discrimination (e.g., xenophobia, religious bias) have been used by ruling classes as a weapon of domination—to “divide and conquer” the lower classes. This is nakedly obvious in recent centuries under capitalism—the Nazis’ anti-Semitism and anti-black racism in the US, for example.
Therefore, one must conclude that the driving force behind racism and the like is not simply the result of wrong ideas or bad science, whatever any individual’s subjective motivations for adopting such views may be, and regardless of the “scientific” justifications that may be concocted in their support. Rather, such ideas are promoted and sustained as tools of class rule, as the overt promotion of racism currently undertaken by both the right and “left” wings of the American bourgeoisie (e.g., Trump’s drive to build a fascist movement, on the one hand, and the New York Times ’ 1619 Project, on the other) clearly demonstrates.
Now, as world capitalism plunges into extreme crisis, the bourgeoisie feels seriously threatened by the resurgence of the working class. It, therefore, reaches for one of its deadliest weapons—racism and similar forms of ethnic and religious bigotry—to keep it divided. While detailed critiques of pseudo-science and historical falsification, such as Skin Deep, are important and indeed vital resources in the struggle against such biases, these will never be overcome until the root cause, namely class society, is eliminated.

Missing Y chromosome kept us apart from Neanderthals

They were exterminated by us, get real and drop the fairy tale... All of them if possible!
It seems we were genetically incompatible with our ancient relatives – and male fetuses conceived through sex with Neanderthal males would have miscarried. We knew that some cross-breeding between us and Neanderthals happened more recently – around 100,000 to 60,000 years ago. - in https://www.newscientist.com/article/2083381-missing-y-chromosome-kept-us-apart-from-neanderthals/

Genetic diversity "is about the same,"

When Diversity and not Fitness becomes the mantra, deception is the end of the line!

Trump, Bolsonaro and the Triumph of the Will!

"The sexual impulse is an instinct, and like most instincts, it represents the will of the species, which creates the delusion in individuals that they are seeking their own good when in fact they are seeking the good of the species (the continued existences of individuals of its kind)" - Historical Dictionary of Schopenhauer's Philosophy By David E. Cartwright

The Left is living its Emperor's New Clothes moment. In the past years there has been a phenomenon of classifying illness as diversity, doing so, the left give it up its progressive rule, the view of illnesses as the greatest burden gave place to its acceptance as something people could live with. The Left is behaving like a mother romantically saying that the handicap of their son was the best thing that happened to her to the point of celebration.

Another major illusion is the one of the Bon sauvage, this one results in the absurd believe that people born without prejudices. There is a blindness to ignore that Sexuality is the root of all prejudices and is Sexuality and not Society the origin of Prejudice.

This Prejudice exists as a tool for Waste Management, for Species Waste Management is cornerstone for their fitness and the main purpose of Sexuality.
Mutations are likely to decrease an organism’s fitness, and an avalanche like this every generation could be deadly to our species. The fact that we haven’t gone extinct suggests that over the long term, we have some way of taking out our genetic garbage. in Alexey Kondrashov – What if Sex Is Just a Garbage Dump for Genetic Mutations?
Any process produces waste and species are no exception, the sad part is that when it comes to Genetic Waste its disposal means the disposal of Human Beings! The rage that supports the far right has one single origin, Sexuality promoting a species free from garbage where the encouragement of its acceptance only increases the feeling of its repulsion. There is no Social solution but a Technical one for Genetic Waste.

The idea that peoples' genetic illness are just bad luck is another sad Romanticism, they are a necessity and the product of Meiosis, the result from the solution nature found to keep Species clean from it! By splitting those above and those below the average of acceptable amount of genetic waste, where those above become Sexually accepted and those below become Sexually wasted, this becomes a Methodology, a system, not mere bad luck. So humans must born loaded with prejudice in order to Sexually exclude Waste from the genetic pool, in order to serve the Will of the Species, in order to keep Species clean. Acceptance isn't the solution simple because isn't allowed by Sexuality!

Societies gave the illusion that we are living the "Future", where soundbites like "Artificial Intelligence" reinforce that illusion. In reality we are living the Second Middle Ages, and to recognize that we need Historical Conscience about Illnesses. In the past there was the "Valley of the Lepers", everyone knew they were victims and no one wished same destiny. During the First Middle Ages the Black Plague happen and everyone was terrified by it as they should. All these diseases are part of the past, and many others have been eradicated, like Smallpox. But if Contagions diseases made it obvious their presence, inherited ones are other story. The sexual prejudice is so strong that when it comes to Inherited Illness they become romanticized. This romanticism is well expressed in the extreme acceptance of Diversity.

"Haemophilia figured prominently in the history of European royalty in the 19th and 20th centuries. Britain's Queen Victoria, through two of her five daughters, Princess Alice and Princess Beatrice, passed the mutation to various royal houses across the continent, including the royal families of Spain, Germany and Russia. Victoria's son Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany also suffered from the disease. For this reason, haemophilia was once popularly called "the royal disease". Tests on the remains of the Romanov imperial family show that the specific form of haemophilia passed down by Queen Victoria was probably the relatively rare Haemophilia B." - Haemophilia in European royalty, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Other kings were also affected by genetic illness like Charles II of Spain!


His first wife, Marie Louise of Orleans (Charles II’s second niece), came from an arranged marriage. The French ambassador wrote to the Spanish court in 1679 that Marie wanted absolutely nothing to do with the ugly king.

In our extremely romanticized world, even leftists call sick people ugly people, like the case of the now branded Incles. This happens because everyone is unable to realize the Will of the Species, everyone refuses to accept Sexuality as its ultimate Eugenic instrument.

The Will of the Species is the blueprint of the Human psychology, and its purpose is to keep our species clean from Deleterious Mutations disguised under the fog of romanticism, Sexual Romanticism.

Leftist forces abandon its progressive rule and adopted a conservative one, the left basically adopt acceptance, and there is nothing progressive about it. It's the Human Nature to improve live conditions and solve problems wherever they exist.

In this Second Middle Ages we're living in Illness is the rule and not the exception despite all Romanticism, 

"Just one in 20 people worldwide (4·3%) had no health problems in 2013, with a third of the world's population (2·3 billion individuals) experiencing more than five ailments, according to a major new analysis." - Over 95% of the world’s population has health problems, with over a third having more than five ailments, The Lancet.

While contagious illnesses are fight with drugs, inherited ones are fight with prejudice, and this prejudice is the only instrument there is because civilizations haven't found other solution yet. When the left classifies Homosexuality as Sexual Diversity it fails to see the illness, it fails to understand that is Sexuality the source of Prejudice intended to be frighted.

The left is trying an impossible compromise, the Romanticism of Sexuality with Acceptance of "Diversity".

The left needs to see that individuals are Puppets of the Will, and throughout Sexual prejudice they serve the Species to avoid genetic contagion. Trump and Bolsonaro are only surfing the Sexual wave!

Bolsonaro quotes that resonate on Species' Will:
  • I’m not going to rape you, because you’re very ugly 
  • I’d rather have my son die in a car accident than have him show up dating some guy

As I explain before, Sexism, Racism and others are just different manifestations of the Same Will, and all those are the result of Sexuality. So, promoting Sexuality is in time promoting Prejudice.

To make it clear that Sexuality is the source of Prejudice just think in terms of Selections. Comparing with our middle ages analogy, we have:
  • 1st Middle Ages | Contagious Diseases | Natural Selection
  • 2nd Middle Ages | Inherit Diseases | Sexual Selection
Humans have been extremely successful in escaping from the Natural Selection grip, but when it comes the the Sexual one, humans are under it like any other animal.

The left needs to see Science and technology as means of solution and not only attitudes. So in order to free people from Sexual Selection this scientific solutions need to become the new utopia:
  1. Artificial reproduction to guarantee the minimum genetic quality to all citizens;
  2. Sexual instinct manipulation to equalize libidos between Men and Women;
  3. Eradication of Natural Selected traits that are prone to Sexual Prejudice like black skin or Aquiline noses.

Only when people free themselves from the tyranny of the Will of the Species will become able to make choices in their own consciousness. Until then, Sexual prejudice remains the main adviser.

As there aren't issues in recognizing Economic Inequality there shouldn't be in recognizing Genetic Inequality.

Adopting Romanticism as the main Politic Philosophy is laying the foundations for the the Extreme Right. Then this happens:
  1. Anti-vaccination Movements;
  2. Rage against the weak and ill;
  3. Growth of religion;
  4. Rise in popularity of complementary and alternative medicine.

An this become the Triumph of the Will... The Species' Will!

Species are Real, Species do Exist!

The point of Sexual Selection is Speciation and the preservation of Species Integrity, fortunately despite many deniers Science has its own Eureka moments...

"Claridge and I agree that the entities we call species are real biological units.
(...)
Let’s consider the two-part question introduced above: (1) Are species real? (2) Are species uniquely real? All working biologists today think that the answer to the first question is yes: species are real entities in some sense (although the grouping criterion considered to be the basis for their reality varies as described above). The current debate concentrates on the second question: whether or not species are a special level either in biological organization or in the taxonomic hierarchy. In other words, is there a unique ranking criterion for species? The two possible answers to this question can be contrasted as the Darwinian view vs. the Mayrian view." - Species Are Not Uniquely Real Biological Entities, Brent D. Mishler

And yet, the nonsense continues...


And BTW if you believe that Neanderthals inbred with Homo Sapiens it only means that you are Alice in the Wonderland!

What if Sex Is Just a Garbage Dump for Genetic Mutations?

A fresh view in a Delusional World of Diversity!

Alexey Kondrashov
When researchers looked at the DNA of a human population, the mutation rate taught them something about the evolutionary value of sex

Shocking news for the Natural Selection fundamentalists:

FOR A SPECIES whose numbers show no signs of collapsing, humans have a shockingly high mutation rate. Each of us is born with about 70 new genetic errors that our parents did not have. That’s much more than a slime mould, say, or a bacterium. Mutations are likely to decrease an organism’s fitness, and an avalanche like this every generation could be deadly to our species. The fact that we haven’t gone extinct suggests that over the long term, we have some way of taking out our genetic garbage. And a new paper, recently published in Science, provides evidence that the answer may be linked to another fascinating procedure: sex. - in Alexey Kondrashov – What if Sex Is Just a Garbage Dump for Genetic Mutations?

For those who need pictures to grasp it...!

The Surprising Origins of Evolutionary Complexity

Seems that Natural Selection isn't all there is when it comes to Evolutionary Complexity. Not a surprise for those who realize other Selections... It's a big step to place at the same level Sexual Selection an Natural Selection as engines of Evolutionary Complexity!

  • Conventional wisdom holds that complex structures evolve from simpler ones, step-by-step, through a gradual evolutionary process, with Darwinian selection favoring intermediate forms along the way.
  • But recently some scholars have proposed that complexity can arise by other means—as a side effect, for instance—even without natural selection to promote it.
  • Studies suggest that random mutations that individually have no effect on an organism can fuel the emergence of complexity in a process known as constructive neutral evolution.

The Mutational Meltdown in Asexual Populations

When Sexual Selection doesn't apply and Natural Selection is all there is!

Loss of fitness due to the accumulation of deleterious mutations appears to be inevitable in small, obligately asexual populations, as these are incapable of reconstituting highly fit genotypes by recombination or back mutation. The cumulative buildup of such mutations is expected to lead to an eventual reduction in population size, and this facilitates the chance accumulation of future mutations. This synergistic interaction between population size reduction and mutation accumulation leads to an extinction process known as the mutational meltdown, and provides a powerful explanation for the rarity of obligate asexuality. We give an overview of the theory of the mutational meltdown, showing how the process depends on the demographic properties of a population, the properties of mutations, and the relationship between fitness and number of mutations incurred.

The Guardians of the Species | Jazmina Saavedra

Ignorance is a bless, mainly in the domain of Species. Clearly, differences between species determine if one Organism ends up in a School or a Slaughterhouse, but what isn't so clear is that differences in the same Species have similar consequences.

To understand this reality we need to realize that Natural and Sexual Selection are Interfaces in a three layers evolutionary scheme. Natural Selection is the interface Environment/Species while Sexual Selection is the interface Species/Organism.

Natural Selection is the interface Environment/Species while Sexual Selection is the interface Species/Organism.

Sexual Selection means that when it comes to Species, not all Organisms are equal, something that at the eyes of Human Species means that not all Humans are equally Human, and so, they may be treated as livestock for slaughter. The means that Species has at its dispose are Human Guardians that trough their conformity to the Species Blueprint are granted the right to attack those otherwise nonconforming to that same Blueprint. As I previously write in Overdominance: The Good, the Bad and the Untermensch:
Unfortunately Species are very picky and ruthless against non conformity, it has successfully been managing its "guardians" against it. So, in the so called civilized world, and despite being very civilized, the species guardians do their work as they do in Africa. And is not difficult to have news of some of them, now named Bullies.
Besides avoiding the Species genetic contagion by nonconforming organisms, these Guardians exist also to censor the otherwise evident failures of the Species itself. It's imperative that those failures or nonconformities become hidden from the social environment, so that their perception doesn't collide with the benign view of Humanity granted that failures are placed on Organisms instead the Species. This way the discomfort remains limited to levels compatible with religious views of Humanity, useful not only to the Ubermench, but mainly, to the Species' genetic fitness.

The religious view of Humanity is the main purpose of these Guardians, they do the dirty work of all alike in order to preserve a romanticized perception much needed to the legitimization of the Ubermench and its devotion (DEVOTION: As natural as "Believing in God").

A Guardian of the Species doing its work

However, this task of being a Guardian of the Species is not enforced on a particular organism, is the result of a Will, the Will of the Species, that guaranties a minimum needed percentage of Guardians "eruptions" in the conformist population. To avoid wasting good quality organisms, not only the task of being a Guardian has to switch hands, but also, it shouldn't stick to a single conformist organism, so, it's imperative that the previously Guardian of the Species shows regret after their successful work not only to avoid being wasted but also to avoid any perception of the Species' invisible hand.

In the end is up to the Untermench to exit the scene and accept all apologies in the name of an harmonious conformist club!

Alek Minassian, the result of Sex as a Commodity!

The absolutist view of Societies above all rest resulted in the perception of Sex as a commodity like any other subject to the same rules of sale and sharing. This mistake is ultimately the legitimization of the Alek Minassian attack because when Sex becomes a Commodity it becomes a right that anyone could claim as entitled to.

No Sex due to Asymmetric Chin and Unibrow

However the truth is that Sex IS NOT a commodity, Sex is a modus operandi like a language or even a religion, you can make money from it but that doesn't make it a commodity. This mistake is intentional, it supports the perception of Societies that ultimately will provide all goods as long as you pay for it. Meaning that it's up to Societies to DECIDE who has and who hasn't. Here starts the big problem, because Sex in reality is not regulated by societies and  IS NOT a commodity the idea of the contrary puts the cause of its unavailability on the society supposedly in control of it. The oversight of Sex as a commodity promotes the idea of easy access and high availability like potatoes in a supermarket, mainly when living in a so called land of plenty.

The result of this big lie is a strong confusion and repression, confusion because despite Sex being seen as easy and plentiful it isn't and repression because assuming so makes the individual a failure subject to the worst shaming.

Unfortunately Societies are by nature extremely arrogant, and the truth will hardly emerges. The truth that the purpose of Sex is exactly not to be a Commodity, that the purpose of Sex is exactly not be easy available, that the purpose of Sex is exactly to exclude, that the purpose of Sex is exactly to be intolerant is what it makes it so heavy to emerge. Sex precedes societies by thousand of millions of years (1 000 000 000) but this is unnoticed in societies with their tiny hundred years (100)! So:
  • Societies ignore that all complex life depends on Sex to avoid genetic meltdown.
  • Societies ignore that Sex keeps the human genome clean of major genetic diseases.
  • Societies ignore that the adulteration of Sex contaminates the species genome as clearly seen with inbreeding.
  • Societies ignore that Sex is by concept for the few not the many;
  • Societies ignore that their populations are heavily contaminated by de novo genetic mutations;
  • Societies ignore that Sexual discrimination is cornerstone for limiting otherwise pandemic de novo genetic mutations (Ex. Microcephaly in Pakistani populations).
This way societies should be serious and educate people to be adults and understand that Sex is not a Commodity that Societies can provide as such.

There is a solution that needs to be considered and that societies can indeed provide. The solution for Sex as a modus operandi previously explained is the following:
  • Artificial reproduction with heavy genetic scanning to limit genetic diseases and consequent lack of sexual attractiveness;
  • Prescription of Anaphrodisiac drugs that reducing the libido would reduce the need for Sex and respective violence while increasing social compliance;
  • The right to Euthanasia for those which the lack of Sex is shameful to the individual beyond the reasonable.
Ultimately there is the need for a revolt against Sex as the result of the conscience that Sex is the cause and not the solution for problems like Racism, Sexism, Domestic violence, Homophobia, and many others that will prevail as long as we still see Sex as a benign Commodity.

Commodities aren't Pranks

The corruption of the #metoo movement!

Because is SEX we are talking about, is important to notice that humans are instinctively puritans with no exception and that is the source of conflict between individuals and their species.

Because is SEX we are talking about, people ignore that libidos are not equal between men and women, that means that there are no possible convergence but an equilibrium many times in the form of coercion and violence.

Because is SEX we are talking about, is sad that Natural Selection is still used as the ultimate model for social reality and Sexual Selection is still ignored despite being the real cause of what is wrongly attributed to Natural Selection.

Because is SEX we are talking about, is important to notice that evolutionary biology calls it the queen of problems for some reason.

Because is SEX we are talking about, is important to notice that Sexual Selection as a promoter of DIVERSITY instead of UNIFORMITY is a romantic perspective with scientific proofs otherwise.

Because is SEX we are talking about, racism attributed simple to colonialism is much more likely the result of a conflict between Natural and Sexual Selection when a trait is promoted by one Selection against the other, in this scenario everyone is racist (sexist) just because blackness was promoted by Natural Selection against Sexual Selection and Sex is the main peoples' actions driver.

Because is SEX we are talking about, men is as victim of it as often as women are, men having a greater libido means that they are subject to sexual frustration much more times than women, and thus it might well be the main reason for men committing suicide more frequently than women and because of that these victims are not considered by any #metoo movement.

Because is SEX we are talking about, the strong romanticism about it might well be just part of its spectrum of instincts to conceal their real function, to serve the cleanliness of the species genome, and thus to oppress individuals considered inferior by it.

Because is SEX we are talking about, is important to note that the ambiguity of Social opinion about Sex might well be the proof that we are naturally corrupted by it to the point of not seeing how it really works.

Evolution or Evolutions? The "Natural" mist!

In a well written article called "The Rise and Fall of Sociobiology" by Peter Augustine Lawler, there is stated the conflict between two extreme views, Social Constructionism and Sociobiology, as follows:
"Social constructionism is the belief that human nature does not matter or exist, and that most of what we believe about human nature is actually the product of human institutions and cultures, and therefore open to be changed. Sociobiology is the belief that human beings have real natures and natural purposes, but natures and purposes that are fully intelligible through evolution and not really different from those of the other animals." in The Rise and Fall of Sociobiology by Peter Augustine Lawler
Nowadays we live the victory of Social Constructionism with the concept of Diversity as its cornerstone. While Sociobiology saw that Diversity as Biological Inequality, Social Constructionism due to social discomfort and lack of any technical solution made the idea of Biological Diversity mainstream, proof that reality is just too much to Humanity deal with it as it is. Amazingly no one argues about Economical Inequality, if someone had the idea of labeling it Economical Diversity it would be immediately called cynical.

Sadly the delusion is much more deep than "Biological Diversity". There is the big "Natural" mist! If the first delusion has a deadline called Biotechnology the second has not. Natural is that big carpet that you can sweep everything under it. This mist started with the ubiquitous and inflated name "Natural" Selection. If Natural nothing else can escape it. That's why Evolution is seen as something singular, simple because under "Nature" there must be only one evolution. And so, Sexual Selection is lost under this "Natural" umbrella, and naturally, Natural Evolution is all there is.

The puzzling respected book The Selfish Gene is a prime example of this "Natural" mist:
"This is an extremely difficult question (Sexual Selection) for the evolutionist to answer. Most serious attempts to answer in evolve sophisticated mathematical reasoning. I am frankly going to evade it except to say one thing. Whether or not it benefits all the rest of an individual's genes is comparatively irrelevant. Seen from the selfish gene's point of view (Natural Selection), sex is not so bizarre after all." in The Selfish Gene - Richard Dawkins
The previous quote shows clearly this sweeping under the "Natural" carpet! Same happens with the so called Human "Nature". Again, is everything and nothing at the same time, the Mist that feeds the "Natural" and ancestral mysticism...

Reality as People like and are able to see it!

Natural Selection is clearly an overstatement for what really is. What it really is is Environmental Selection. But:
"But like all popularized science, these big pictures gain clarity by distorting reality." in The Rise and Fall of Sociobiology by Peter Augustine Lawler
Yes, Natural Selection is that big picture that distorts what in reality is, Environmental Selection. The advantage of naming things by what they really are is simple, they give space for other things that go behind. Evolution is another "big picture" derived from naming Environmental Evolution as Natural. because Nature is everything and naturally Evolution is just one. No space for other Evolution like the one promoted by Sexual Selection. Reality is more complex than this "Natural" absolutism, Reality is like this:

  • Environmental Selection:
    • Individuals best adapted to their environments are more likely to survive and reproduce.
  • Sexual Selection:
    • Selection of individuals most similar to the uniform Sexual characteristics of their Species.
Calling Environmental Selection "Natural" has the perverse effect of distorting and neglecting Sexual Selection as a simple branch from the big "Natural" one, like this:
  • Sexual selection is a "special case" of natural selection.
  • Sexual selection is a mode of natural selection where members of (...)
  • Sexual selection is natural selection arising through preference by one sex for certain characteristics in individuals of the other sex.
Clearing the mist means that Sexual Selection isn't "Natural" Selection, quite the oppose it, where "Natural" Selection is a delusion in the sense that "Natural" is everything there is (absolutism), what it really exists is Environmental Selection and Sexual Selection an they are two different things. Clearing the mist is also recognize that there isn't THE ubiquitous Evolution, there are two Evolutions, the Sexual and Environmental ones! Avoiding these concepts just because they are too clumsy or too baffling is no different from a church avoiding the idea of Sun in the center just because. Only reality should determine how thing are described. Languages are contaminated with ideology where "Natural" is one of their mists...
Naturally voting Left is voting Right!

Humans in Morocco 300,000 years ago are the proof that Toba catastrophe theory is wrong!

So, the fairytale goes that before the Great Human expansion, when Humans where in a very tiny concentrated space in south Africa, the Toba supereruption at 70Kya was able to kill many humans almost to the point of extinction... Accordingly to that theory, those newly found bones must belong to an extraterrestrial alien! Why not...?


In The great human expansion
Brenna M. Henna, L. L. Cavalli-Sforzaa,1, and Marcus W. Feldmanb,2

Another nail in the coffin of the Toba nonsense and its Bottleneck Theory! Unfortunately, there is no worse blind man than the one who doesn’t want to see, there is no worse deaf man than the one who doesn’t want to hear, and there is no worse madman than the one who doesn’t want to understand!

The bones, about 300,000 years old, were unearthed thousands of miles from the previous record-holder, found in fossil-rich eastern Africa. The new discovery reveals people from an early stage of our species’ evolution, with a mix of modern and more primitive traits. - in This is us: Earliest fossils of our species found in Morocco


One more fact to add to the list of my previous post: No Diversity in Humans, it was Toba or just Sex?

Inbred Songbirds Croon out of Tune - Scientific American

So, there is a Blueprint after all...!
Read the post EVOLUTION #2 - MENDEL, THE WHYS GUY to understand better the effect of sexual inbreeding in Genetic Noise (drift from the Blueprint)!


Species as the Organism Blueprint

Inbred canaries sang songs with less pure tones, and at slightly different pitches, than their outbred cousins—and female canaries seemed to be able to tell the difference.

Inbred Songbirds Croon out of Tune

Just like humans have to learn to talk, songbirds aren't just born singing—they have to learn to carry a tune. "So in the beginning they just babble." Raissa de Boer, a behavioral ecologist at the University of Antwerp in Belgium. "And they learn from a tutor, so they need an example song in order to learn it."
She says the example song might come from the chick's father. And over time, the baby bird tweaks that tweet, to make it its own. "And then it takes almost a year until they're fully adult, until the next spring, for the final song to come out."
De Boer and her colleagues investigated that song-learning process in canaries, using two groups of baby birds: the first consisted of inbred birds, whose parents were siblings; the second had parents that were. And the researchers found that the songs of inbred birds [sound of inbred birds singing] and those of the other, outbred birds [sound of outbred birds singing] sound… pretty similar to the human ear. "I cannot tell the difference."
But computer analysis revealed that the inbred birds sang notes at slightly different pitches—and with tones that were not quite as pure. "So basically they sang out of tune, in comparison to outbred birds." The results appear in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B. [Raissa A. de Boer, Marcel Eens and Wendt Muller, ‘Out of tune’: consequences of inbreeding on bird song]
And even though our untrained ears have a hard time telling the tones apart, female canaries seemed to notice. They tended to lay smaller eggs, and fewer of them, when they mated with inbred birds as opposed to the better songsters. Suggesting that the quality of a songbird's genes may be revealed in its tunes.

No Diversity in Humans, it was Toba or just Sex?

"Modern humans display less genetic diversity than great apes, a puzzling finding given our much larger census population size (1, 2). Interestingly, recent studies have shown that modern humans are not the only hominins characterized by comparatively low levels of genetic diversity. The variability of Neanderthal mitochondrial DNA is on par with that found in modern humans (3–5). More importantly, the effective population size of the common ancestor of modern humans and Neanderthals was recently estimated at 9,999 (95% CI: 9,603–10,335)*, concurring with Noonan et al.'s (6) assumption that the effective population size of the common ancestor was similar to that of modern humans, ≈104. Why are all 3 of these Pleistocene hominin populations characterized by levels of genetic diversity that are lower than those found in extant great apes?" - Culture, population structure, and low genetic diversity in Pleistocene hominins
The lack of diversity in Humans is that kind of thing that makes any evolutionist anxious for a "Natural" explanation, something in the environment that made it happen!

The Toba catastrophe theory is exactly that, the environmental cause that the holly Natural Selection must explain. Species, Sexual Selection, who cares? In the end, all it matters is Natural Selection! This is the way it must be...

I will give my own explanation for what caused the lack of Diversity in humans to the point of being almost clones (virtually identical DNA). This means that you will end up with two causes, that I named like this:
  • The Toba cause;
  • The Sex cause.

The Toba cause:


Simple putted, 75.000 years ago, a Supervolcano in Indonesia called Toba, erupted, causing an extreme change in the environment that led to the death of many modern humans almost to the point of extinction, and doing so, made a genetic bottleneck that eliminated the human diversity that existed before. Simple, practical, all questions answered... or so it looks like.

But not all questions were answered:
  • Why modern humans, and only modern humans, lost their diversity the way they did?
  • How it proves that modern humans had more diversity before the eruption in the first place?
  • Why modern humans never had recuperate a bit of that diversity considering that the event happen half way the existing time of modern humans?
  • Why modern human with an astronomical population size had never catch up a bit of diversity?
  • Why ancient stone tools in southern India were found above and below a thick layer of ash from the Toba eruption and were very similar across these layers?
Many studies dismiss this cause, like the following:
"The Youngest Toba Tuff (YTT) eruption, which occurred in Indonesia 74,000 years ago, is one of Earth's largest known volcanic events. The effect of the YTT eruption on existing populations of humans, and accordingly on the course of human evolution, is debated. Here we associate the YTT with archaeological assemblages at Jwalapuram, in the Jurreru River valley of southern India. Broad continuity of Middle Paleolithic technology across the YTT event suggests that hominins persisted regionally across this major eruptive event." - Middle Paleolithic Assemblages from the Indian Subcontinent Before and After the Toba Super-Eruption
The reason for this hypothesis is the same as the Red Queen one. The fanaticism of Natural Selection over everything else, including Sexual Selection.

The Sex cause:


As I have been arguing in my Posts, with references to many scientific studies and publications, Sex reduces genetic diversity. So, to explain why humans lack all that wonderful diversity that pure Naturalists love so much, the Sex cause is a good place to start.

First of all considerate the following hypothesis:
  • Sex is the mechanism of speciation that defines and standardizes the respective Species;
  • Sexual Selection opposes Natural Selection as the first decreases diversity while the second increases it.
Supported by:
"We reviewed arguments from a diverse assemblage of biologists—ecologists, cancer biologists, population geneticists, paleontologists, molecular biologists, genome theorists, epigeneticists—who implore that sex reduces genetic variation." - Root Gorelick Henry H. Q. Heng, 2010.Sex Reduces Genetic Variation: A Multidisciplinary Review
In this moment I answered all the previous questions but one:
  • Why modern humans, and only modern humans, lost their diversity the way they did?
To start with, you should see what distinguish humans (homo) from other animals:
  • Upright walking and consequent liberation of the hands;
  • Ability to make tools that overcame physical limitations;
  • Capacity to change the Environment.

Slowly but steadily, and contrary to other animal, Natural Selection lost its initial grip on humans, leaving it to Sexual Selection alone that without opposition was able to destroy the preexisting diversity.

So simple, isn't it? Ok, I will explain slowly, step by step...
  1. Homo habilis;
  2. Homo erectus;
  3. Homo neanderthalensis;
  4. Homo sapiens (modern humans).
Homo habilis is the human species that started to lose body hair, and a good cause for it was clothing. I know that there are studies that point out the beginning of clothing 70.000 years before, but there are also other studies that say that Neanderthals used clothes, many thousand years before, so the clothing I talk here are simple furs from other animals. This means that the use of clothing was not out of reach to the Homo habilis and certainly is hand to hand with its lose of body hair.

It must be said that Natural Selection is a more critical kind of thing (life and death) than Sexual Selection, and body hair needed to protect us from cold, found its critical purpose in night and winter. So, clothing was only needed to eliminate this critical purpose of body hair, the one that really matters to Natural Selection.

This doesn't meant the end of the Natural Selection grip on humanity, no. With the decreasing of body hair close to nothing, Homo erectus changed its skin color from white to black. Yes, Natural Selection gave up body hair to Sexual Selection but took black skin color in exchange (promoted by the African Savannah). Nevertheless, the bargain was positive to Sexual Selection, better black than hairy.

With humans able to tool making, use of caves as shelter and fire making, soon Environment started to be a very different thing, acting less directly on the human animal. The relationship between humans and Nature changed from a direct to an indirect one, convergent to an environmental alienation as we have today.

With an human environment more and more alienated of the real one, new challenges emerged. In this new alienated environment, intelligence become decisive to a new and complex courtship that gave birth the Homo sapiens, well capable of the most mystified and sophisticated relationships decisive in the breeding race dictated by an ubiquitous ruler, Sex.

There is no better example of this lose of grip from Natural to Sexual Selection than the reverse of the skin color bargain as soon as Homo emigrated to north, first as Neanderthals and later as modern humans (see Why we born Racist!). This and many other traits were lost in favor of Sexual Selection, until very little remained of the original human diversity, in an alienation process that lasted more than 2 million years.

In conclusion, the greatest triumph of humanity as a Species was not hairless or even intelligence, but the lost of its diversity through environmental alienation, the triumph of our species over the rule of Natural Selection greedy to disrupt the loved dominant standard called homo sapiens.

This could end here, but a ruler is a ruler, and Sexual Selection makes its own victims from all those who don't comply with its standard...
