yeah, that's why I completely ignored the hajnal line. the current polish border is too new, and also precisely in the gray zone of the divide.

still, the hajnal line and the polish electoral divide are extremely congruent -and I really wish there was an easy explanation for this (I'm having some ideas, but until they mature into a hypothesis, I'll just point at the hbd nerds and laugh until they come up with something)

if anything, the pattern for Warsaw and the its surroundings is what you usually could expect from urbanisation. but the divide in relation to the older German border is really weird, if it's not overfitting.

to fit into a Hajnal line explanation, though, the populations in the north would have to be descended from populations in that area around 1000AD. not very likely in that region, I suppose.

well that's the thing with the hajnal line *it isn't actually a theory about hereditary traits but about cultural customs*, the hbd blogsphere just appropriated it

cultural customs (like rules of marriage and other mating patterns) select for certain traits, which makes the hajnal line about gene-culture coevolution.

yeah according to hbd blogs, but when Hajnal, the person, drew Hajnal, the line, right through the middle of Poland in 1965 he divided it in a way that is not explicable in this manner (which also isn't what he was trying to do, as I said)

"In 1965, John Hajnal discovered it divides Europe into two areas characterized by different levels of nuptiality." that sounds a lot like sexual selection.

if the selection of hereditary traits is what you're looking for -he, however, wasn't.

I'll defer to whatever the @hbdchick take is on the issue.
