Human Evolution Has Sped Up Faster than Ever!

Are white people the endpoint of human physical evolution? The graphic you’ve used is itself a piece of racist fantasy that reinforces Euro-types that they represent the preeminent expression of evolutionary fitness.

This is claptrap.

Concepts like temperment are inherently contested and have little explanatory value

The claims made in the BBC piece generalized so far beyond whatever data they’ve mustered that at best it’s a excursion of psuedo-science. But I’d wager that it’s better understood as another piece of white racism passing for ignorance.

These geneticists utilize a logic that’s not dissimilar from creationists. The zeal with which these folks dismiss the role culture plays is mind bongling.

Let me summarize and second Disappointed’s comments. The interpretation is bullshit.

As for the study itself, extrodanary claims require extrodanry proof. This falls far short.

or maybe the rate at which we release chemicals in nature is increasing gemetical modifications?…..

I’m not saying for the study, but for the picture, I saw it when I was a naive [white] kid and did not understand more then evolution. I think I would have expected to find a Asian guy in the same picture in Japan for example… Saying it’s racist would be the same that saying it’s sexist because it’s picturing a man and not a woman.
