So weird how these deep and unchanging genetic differences between NW Europeans and everybody else who ever existed on the planet only showed up about 400 years ago.https://twitter.com/Outsideness/status/979579858853359616 …

Pushing it back a couple of hundred years doesn't exactly answer my point, or solve your problem.

Comprehensive genomic profiling of the entire species isn't that far off now. Then we won't have to guess. ...

We don't have to guess. Even if there are significant genetic differences between population groups, it still doesn't answer the question of why, if those differences are so earth-shattering, they showed up so late in the game.

Why did Rottweilers "show up so late in the game"? Breeding programs take time. Gregory Clark explains the process: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Farewell_to_Alms …

Directed breeding programs "take time" but undirected evolutionary processes happens really quickly? Cool story bro.

I'm not arguing with anybody. I'm merely pointing out the inconsistencies in the central pillar of your argument.

You're not being very clear about what you think they are.

... Anything I'm saying on the subject is downstream from people who know what they're talking about (such as Gregory Cochran, Gregory Clark, and Steve Hsu). Tell me why any of them are wrong, and I'll fold like an origami kit.

I find that doubtful, because your beliefs don't appear to be based on scientific evidence; you appear to use scientific evidence to validate your pre-existing beliefs.

Don't get me wrong, pre-existing beliefs - assumptions, axioms and the like - are fine. We all have them. We all need them. What's not fine is pretending that they have the same epistemological status as the research you use to validate them.
