There's a curious confluence of subscribers to human biodiversity, IQ, cliodynamics, transhumanism, neo-reaction, and the paleo diet. #fb

@hbdchick@Scholars_Stage +1 Paleo good 4 individuals; Agriculture good 4 groups - 100 malnourished peasant soldiers will defeat 10 hunters. -
@akarlin88@Scholars_Stage "Paleo good 4 individuals; Agriculture good 4 groups" - yes. i think that's prolly right. -
@hbdchick@akarlin88 That is why agriculture beat the nomads. But what happened in the 10,000 years AFTER that? HBD peeps talk about all -
@hbdchick@akarlin88 ^kind of crazy adaptations and pressures. But really, two greatest pressures since adoption of agriculture? 1) Disease -
@hbdchick@akarlin88 2) The food agriculturists eat. This is what killed most of humanity for most of history. Everything else is fluff. -
@Scholars_Stage@akarlin88 but that's the question: does the food agriculturalists eat kill them off BEFORE they reproduce? if not, then... -
@hbdchick@akarlin88 Well, life expectancy in neolithic was what - something close to 21? Most premoderns DID die before they had children. -
@Scholars_Stage@hbdchick (1) Neolithics had far lower life expectancy than Upper Paleolithics (yes, thx to grains & disease).
