@GabrielDuquette It's plausible that there are dents in the human psyche from (ie traits selected for by) 40k years of rape & slavery.

@GabrielDuquette Where you have repeated sweeps of hierarchical-pyramidal aggressors murdering/enslaving/raping egalitarian nomads. -
@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette Here’s a fun article about nomadic egalitarian Commanches http://squid314.livejournal.com/340809.html -
@mwiik@GabrielDuquette That's a post-apocalyptic pyramidal empire. Not what I'm talking about. -
@mwiik@GabrielDuquette They are in fact a good example of the mass murdergang, made possible by preying *on* ag. societies.

@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette dumb question: i have a poor grasp of timeline necessary to "select for traits" in a population -
@cwage@GabrielDuquette Good question, very hard to say. There's a plausible argument that the Chinese civil service system... -
@cwage@GabrielDuquette ...increased the IQ of the Han about 5 points over 2000 years. That's speculative. Less so: lactase persistence. -
@cwage@GabrielDuquette Lactase persistence genes have spread alongside cattle herding, but haven't reached 100% in any population.

@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette not really a question, but anyway: how long do you need before you suspect genetic imprint vs. culture? -
@cwage@GabrielDuquette When it surfaces despite intense cultural pressure. eg stubborn persistence of subbiness among both men & women. -
@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette i assume someone has approached it with math on a smaller scale -
@cwage@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette kind of in the ballpark of your q: https://westhunt.wordpress.com/2014/11/22/faster-than-fisher/ … -
@cwage@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette also Generations to fixation = 2 ln(N) / s N = pop size, s = selective advantage in % -
@cwage@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette (I do not know how to use these eqns intelligently but maybe they can be staying pt) -
@cwage@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette eg 2nd: take allele w 5% advantage, 1M pop, math gives 553 generations to dominance -
@simplic10@cwage@GabrielDuquette This is all kind of beside the point, in that most behaviors are probably highly polygenic. - 5 more replies

@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette i'll take my answer off the air thanks, love your show -
@cwage@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette long time listener first time caller wait no on the air please -
@Tipsycaek@cwage@GabrielDuquette Can you...turn down your radio. Turn *down* your *radio*. -
