Africans and Inherited Behaviors

[Professor Emeritus]

If by "inherited" you mean genetics, then the answer is no.

First off, individual and group behavior is determined far more by non-genetic factors than genetic factors.

Second, the separation of races is recent (evolutionary speaking) in human history.

And finally, what genetic diversity does exist in the human race is as great or greater within Africa itself as in the rest of the world combined.


So to pretend that "Africa" is some genetic monolith, that has as a whole developed a particular genetic background in an area that no one else shares, and that this genetic background then determines behavior to any significant degree....that just displays a lot of ignorance about inheritance in general.


Even if you think that "Africans" are tending to express a particular behavior, you'd be a lot better off looking for social/historical reasons than genetic ones.

Never did I say anything about this behavior being exclusive to Africans, only more prevelant, rendering a bulk of this irrelevant.

As for genetic vs non-genetic, we will simply have to disagree. Its a combination with the qualifier that repetitive behavior over 1000s of years is most definitely genetically-backed and recorded.

k cockroach....how those european cacs treating you fukking c00n

 

[Poitier]

Putin is basically a president for life, so lets use that to make a wider point about all Europeans. Haha
fukking stupid people

Europe is overwhelmingly democratically elected nations. Africa has a significantly higher proportion of autocratic governments. Not that I idealized Europe anywhere in this thread nor have I said it should be a model for the diaspora. Smarten up, cockroach.

West Africans are selling limited primary resources to Europeans (human beings)

Soon, it will be people again. Nigeria is cruising towards 900,000,000 (900 million) people by 2100.

Think that's Africa as a whole

I'd be surprised if there is even a Nigeria in 2100

Africa is currently over 1 billion. Africa's population is expected to be 4 billion by 2100.

 

[Sinnerman]

I'm probably mistaken, but throughout history Africa has had a relatively low density in terms of population right? It'll be interesting to see the historical ramifications of the upcoming population boom.

I do not see that hitting 4 bill by 2100.

How come?

Africans kiss white people's asses.

They're quick to jump on the white side of issues when it comes to police killings etc.

They've always bussed it wide open for White master and his bible.
