Your own quotation demonstrates that an Englishman is just as capable of advocating abolition as of enslaving. Mq's anecdotes demonstrate that Japanese are just as capable of peaceful productive actions as they are of war.
I think an hypothesis could be made that humans descended from the Asian population after the Mount Toba super-eruption were different from the African population, but after a few generations they got back together and mixed the DNA so it's just a thought, awaiting further research.
For one thing, sub-Saharan Africans have greater genetic diversity than non-Africans, most likely because the non-African population declined to just a few thousand, at most.
Apparently the humans who left Africa were behaviorally modern, as were the ones who remained, mostly, but all? If something happened to humans in Africa that made a divide between humans like us, and not like us, what then? Is this just an idle pipe dream? Yet the oldest living human genes, in the iKung in the Kalahari, occur in people we, ourselves, recognize as fully human. Their neighbors disagree.
At any rate, the differences between English and Germans, or Japanese and Chinese, are really miniscule. |
