@razibkhan Was the rice cultivation in Italy since renaissance (mostly in Lombardy and Piedmont, afaik) widespread enough to merit testing the hypothesis in Italy? If it was, not sure it would hold there.

One thing I'd consider: Ningxia is an Autonomous Region for the Hui Muslim recognised ethnicity, + Qingtongxia is on the border of this region with Mongols to the north+west. A low-res map of Chinese eth groups on my office wall suggests Hui might be fewer in Qingtongxia district

I've worked with ethnic demographic data from Chinese censuses. Only the province-level data though -- you have to pay to get access to the district-level data you'd need to check if Hui are considerably less in Qingtongxia compared to other districts in Ningxia

Good post. I've read this research and am fully on board with the Nisbett model of East-West, but am conflicted about how instrumental or mechanical the ecological story is. Is it that simple? Maybe I just don't want to believe it.

Enviro of wheat vs rice farming selects for different set of bio inherited traits (working together in large group to farm rice, as you say), and / or the eating of wheat vs rice modulates how the genes express within person's life (epigenetic) causing the different behaviors?

Northern Chinese are much more like southern Chinese than they are like Europeans or Middle Easterners. Personality-wise, emotionally. The wheat/rice thing probably isn’t very important.
