@whyvert @pseudoerasmus @akarlin88 @CraigJWilly the church+tptb imposed it, then over time certain traits were selected for in the pop...1/2
@whyvert @pseudoerasmus @akarlin88 @CraigJWilly 2/2...which perpetuated the tendency. "every society selects for something." - g.cochran.
@hbdchick @whyvert @akarlin88 @CraigJWilly sure but I also want to know why a society creates those pressures in the 1st place
@pseudoerasmus @whyvert @akarlin88 @CraigJWilly ...beyond that, i haven't been able to tease apart the causal factors.
@hbdchick @whyvert @akarlin88 @CraigJWilly church-state conflict was endemic in Latin Christendom
@pseudoerasmus @hbdchick @whyvert @CraigJWilly because Church would legitimize them? IMO real Q is why church itself adopted these policies.
@akarlin88 @pseudoerasmus @whyvert @CraigJWilly then thomas aquinas was heavily influenced by his readings of augustine, of course.
@hbdchick @akarlin88 @pseudoerasmus @whyvert Catholic Church continued Romans' exo-monogamous practices. (So where did Romans' come from?)
@CraigJWilly @akarlin88 @pseudoerasmus @whyvert ...debate about that around the time. maybe the early christians picked up on that? (5/5)

@hbdchick @JayMan471 @whyvert @akarlin88 @CraigJWilly early Germanic history does not suggest a conformist people !
@pseudoerasmus @JayMan471 @whyvert @akarlin88 @CraigJWilly maybe it's just the coincidence of living on that nice, flat plain...
.@hbdchick @pseudoerasmus @whyvert @akarlin88 @CraigJWilly Tho outbreeding took hold fine in the Alps. Most other mountain areas not so much
@JayMan471 @pseudoerasmus @whyvert @akarlin88 @CraigJWilly ...some posts on the swiss.
.@hbdchick @pseudoerasmus @whyvert @akarlin88 @CraigJWilly This Swiss don't seem classically clannish though. More like Finns or Icelandic.
