Tyrannical on 16 May 2009
| Rath said: Tyrannical what you are arguing about is not evolution per se but rather clashes of societies. The theory of evolution deals entirely with genetics, the minor genetic differences are not what caused for example the native Americans to be so disadvantaged against the European colonists, it was the fact that European society had advanced more. Once again though tying up evolution with eugenics and genocide (incorrectly as it happens) doesn't actually have anything whatsoever to do with whether the theory of evolution is correct. |
So, Neanderthal going extinct was because of societal clashes instead of evolution?
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
