Just because it’s now mostly performed with popular narratives and public notaries instead of bare knuckles and bloody knives matters little in the grand scheme of things. The future still belongs to those tribes who defend their territories.

    If this theory is true, then war is anything but a creation of advanced society — peace is the exception to the rule of endemic tribal, territorial aggression. War is fundamental to human nature because war created human nature.

    Something clearly changed with the advent of sedentary civilised society, a change that sublimated human competition into managerial and memetic alternatives to martial conflict. But have the stakes changed all that much? Just because it’s now mostly performed with popular narratives and public notaries instead of bare knuckles and bloody knives matters little in the grand scheme of things. The future still belongs to those tribes who defend their territories.

    ‘…New Guinea may represent the low IQ version of war, in contrast to the Indo-European high IQ version…’

    Meh. While you’re right that there appear to have been genocidal episodes, the more usual primitive pattern is almost continuous raiding and petty feuding. This was still visible in Dark Age Britain barn-burning, and Highland cattle thieving.

    It’s just what the boys get up to. Now, it’s been ritualized to the point of juvenile delinquency, the Friday Night football game, and soccer hooliganism; and our frank warfare is confined to increasingly rare — but increasingly bloody — outbreaks.

    Of course, as our civilization collapses, this may change. We’re already heading in that direction; an essentially lawless populace kept under control by constant policing rather than the actual civilized order of the recent past.

    Maybe soon, the constant policing won’t suffice. It’ll be back to tightly-knit kin groups, constant raiding — and rapidly declining population.

  • Bert says:
    @Colin Wright
    Here are a series of disconnected and not necessarily relevant observations:

    1. Man has always waged war. Your primitive New Guinea Highland tribes go out and fling spears at their neighbors about once a year. Eventually someone is seriously hurt or killed, and that's it until next year. We see the same thing with petty gang warfare in the inner city.

    Endless raiding and inconclusive warfare is the norm among primitive societies. What changes with our social evolution is that the warfare becomes less frequent but more cataclysmic. Sociologically, we're still reeling from the First World War. War wasn't supposed to be like that. These days, instead of the tribal feud Pax _____ is followed by apocalypse.

    2. One striking difference between ourselves and Neanderthals is that we're curious; they apparently weren't. Someone once noted that some group of Neanderthals lived on one side of the Straits of Gibraltar for millennia -- and there's no evidence they ever crossed. Homo Sapiens never would have stood for that. We have to go see, to change it, to put in new carpeting. Leave it alone? Never.

    3. You missed the most striking example of an ancient memory of a monstrous 'other.' Grendl, in Beowulf.

    4. I've long suspected that the supposed mighty intelligence of Neanderthals owes more to an adaption to a cold climate than to great intelligence. In cold surroundings, you have to have a big, properly heated brain. Dolphins have huge brains -- but it's been pointed out that their behavior doesn't demonstrate any great intelligence. It's just that the damned thing has to be kept warm to work.

    Ditto for Neanderthals? Perhaps they were merely a cold-climate variation of Homo Erectus rather than our intellectual rivals.

    Endless raiding and inconclusive warfare is the norm among primitive societies.

    That is a hard argument to make in the face of the fact that one of our primate phylogenetic cousins, Pan troglodytes, has been documented to eliminate a neighboring band and seize its territory. And the book, War Before Civilization: The Myth of the Peaceful Savage, documents prehistorically the genocidal slaughter of human bands.

    Of course, there is the evidence of the Indo-European Y-chromosome take over in Neolithic farmer populations of Europe.

    Then there is an evolutionary argument: How can men be so warlike unless there was a genetic payoff for war in the past.

    New Guinea may represent the low IQ version of war, in contrast to the Indo-European high IQ version.

    The ancient Egyptians lived in a very rich agricultural delta. And they were fiercely expansionist and warlike.

    Europe, plus what’s now Turkey from the Atlantic shores to the beginning of the Steppe lands is one of the most productive agricultural regions of the world. Excellent soil for a variety of crops and live stock. Perfect ratio of sumner sun and rain. A great network of river highways for fish, transportation of food and goods The Atlantic and the great seas for seafood including seaweed.

    And for the last 7,000 years Europeans have incessantly warred on other.

    I know that standard military theory about the nomads from the mountains forests steppes attacking the rich farmlands. Makes sense. Until you realize the rich farmers attacked each other as much as the nomads attacked the farmers.

    French aristocracy were a bunch of pansies with powdered wigs and snuff up their noses. Good riddance.

    In Russia the elites just imploded during World War I. They ceded power, and many just fled to the West. The main campaign was radical vs radical, socialist vs communist or Trotskyite vs Stalinist. And then, the most horrible campaign wasn't against the elites but the people, the farmers of Ukraine and the like. The peasants suffered the most in Russia.

    When Cambodia fell, most of the ruling elites fled. The main horrors were done against the people of Cambodia who were dragged to work in communes.

    True, revolution is often bloody and horrifying. But there are times when the whole edifice is so rotten that it must be burned to the ground. The West has reached such a point, the Zatoichi Moment in History.

    ‘True, revolution is often bloody and horrifying. But there are times when the whole edifice is so rotten that it must be burned to the ground. ‘

    It’s questionable if the results are usually a net improvement. Stalin was not better than Tsar Nicholas — even the present state of most of the components of the old Russian Empire isn’t very edifying. On the other hand, Tsarist Russia really was progressing by leaps and bounds in every way possible — look it up.

    The same for Wilhelmine Germany vs its successors. Was there anything so awful about the ancien regime in Cambodia that exterminating a third of the population was called for? Suppose Communism had never come to China. Wouldn’t it have wound up about where it is now — minus the greatest artificially induced famine in human history? The Mexican Revolution did not lead to happy times. Others can probably furnish further examples.

    On the other hand, peaceful evolution has worked pretty well: the US, 1789-1963. Britain, 1689-1960. Japan — forever.

    Revolution red in tooth and claw may be viscerally appealing — but as a rule, it seems to be a bad idea.

  • This is a fascinating topic. Of course, deciphering prehistoric times involves a lot of… educated guesswork, but it’s safe to say human beings/mankind were certainly already quite warlike by the onset of recorded history, and there was a long, long time when nobody was keeping any records, even and especially before certain men, likely artistic geniuses, started painting cave walls, and of course, they weren’t copying or tracing photographs.

    One can quite confidently assume that the martial spirit in humans grew out of the need to defend oneself or be killed. The tribes grew out of families and groups of families that bonded together to form a defensive alliance. Most of these groupings were probably defensive but some no doubt were predatory, to eliminate competition and eat your foe in the bargain. All it takes is one guy who convinces everyone else in his group that it’s easier to steal grain from the farmers rather than laboring all summer to produce their own, and even before the rise of agriculture, tribes no doubt stored food acquired by the hunter-gatherer lifestyle that was surely tempting to others with more rapacious motivations.

    And let’s face it; recorded history itself is not always completely reliable. One really does have to learn to read between the lines by recognizing that what was put down as history had to appeal to the powers that were, so to say, without whose permission and probable support that history never would have seen the light of day.

    Who pays the piper calls the tunes.

    We do have a pretty good look at stone-age humans from the fairly extensive albeit often frustratingly incomplete historical accounts of the native people of the Americas written by the Europeans who lived among them.

    For whatever set of reasons, civilization in the Americas was several thousand years behind that of the opposite hemisphere, the so-called Old World, where men had both the horse and firearms among the many technological advantages of the Europeans that spelled doom for the native American tribes.

    But putting that aside, it is possible to glean some understanding of the native culture before the Europeans knocked it over, stomped it down, and destroyed it.

    Certainly. lack of the horse and other draft animals resulted in a severe shortage of power and energy for the tribes of the New World, although llamas were domesticated and used as pack animals to carry burdens, but that did not stop the Maya, Inca, Aztecs and other native tribes from producing fairly advanced civilizations even as they lingered in the Stone Age.

    One is certainly tempted to think that the undisturbed passage of time and a period of good climate might have allowed New World tribes to advance to the Iron Age eventually. Most of the parts are already there, including the wheel, and also several species such as llamas and caribou that conceivably might have been tamed enough to pull loads.

    In N. America, the tribes seem to have co-existed in cycles of violence and peace. Some tribes were said to be at war, while others passed the Peace Pipe, known as the Calumet, a tradition that was thought to have arrived from tribes to the southwest. Pere Marquette attested to the power of the Peace Pipe during his trip down the Mississippi. when merely displaying the Calumet pacified previously threatening tribes all the way down the big river.

    Torture and cannibalism were practiced by any number of the tribes. The Illini said they learned it from the Iroquois, merely one of the Illini’s several mortal enemies, who were known by some of the tribes as The Roasters due to the Iroquois’ practice of torturing captured enemies while burning them alive at the stake until they were well-cooked and ready for, you know, the feast.

    In Iroquois mythology, the Flying Head – yes, really – is a ravenous, flying flesh-eating head with evil eyes and razor sharp teeth that gets around on bat wings, which if nothing else gives a peek at Stone Age thinking in N. America.

  • When the warlike Proto-Indo-Europeans emerged out of the Steppe and conquered Northern Europe and parts of Asia, they wiped out the lineages of less combative indigenous groups:

    In vast regions of Northern Europe, the Bronze Age steppe herders replaced earlier farming societies, the invaders unceremoniously sweeping away all before them, which often meant the extermination of indigenous male-dominated elites (ancient DNA studies show that Neolithic farmers too structured their societies around male kin-groups).

    Quite accurate but needs corrections.

    Proto-Indo-Europeans emerged out of the Steppe –
    Correct: the ancestors of today’s Westerners, primitive nomads, came from the Russian steppes to Europe 4.5-4.800 K years ago.

    Incorrect: the name is meaningless, initially there was an item in the language classification called Indo-Germanic which was later changed to Indo-European and hence the meaningless (proto) Indo-Europeans, who supposedly brought the language to Europe and imposed it on all Europeans who were at a much higher level of civilization and a large part of Asia. PIE did not exist.

    they wiped out the lineages of less combative indigenous groups –
    Correct. Primitive nomads, who did not even know agriculture or metals or house building or crafts, committed genocide against the indigenous peoples of Europe (I2 and I1 genetics), who at least 2000 years before the arrival of the nomads did not know about war. From then (4800 years ago) until now, the descendants of those primitive nomads have started almost all the wars in Europe. They mostly committed genocide in northern Europe and more in the south where the natives fled to the Dinaric Mountains and the Carpathians and went all the way to Spain. It is believed that the nomads killed 88% of the native men and took their wives.

    Bronze Age steppe herders –
    Incorrect. Primitive nomads did not know about metals, they did not reach the Bronze Age and were still in the Stone Age, i.e. they came with stone axes to Europe and committed genocide with them.

    one thing I’ve noticed about the discussion of the disappearance of our hominid cousins never mentions one of homo sapiens greatest gifts, and that is our ability to engage in deceit.
    �
    I think you're right in pointing out deceit as "one of homo sapiens' greatest gifts", but I don't know if it played a part in the disappearance of other hominids, since "conscious" deceit may have developed much later. That's the theory proposed by Julian Jaynes, who posits that consciousness in its modern sense began to arise during the second millennium B.C. in Mesopotamia. To Jaynes, deception could have played a vital role in the emergence of consciousness.

    The Origin of the Analog ‘I’ in Deceit
    Deceit may also be a cause of consciousness. But we must begin any discussion of the topic by making a distinction between instrumental or short-term deceit and long-term deceit, which might better be expressed as treachery. Several examples of the former have been described in chimpanzees. Female chimpanzees will present in sexual posture to a male to whisk away his banana when his prandial interest is thus distracted. ... the deceit involved is a case of instrumental learning, a behavior pattern that is followed immediately by some rewarding state of affairs. And it needs no further explanation.

    But the kind of deceit that is treachery is quite another matter. It is impossible for an animal or for a bicameral man. Long-term deceit requires the invention of an analog self that can ‘do’ or ‘be’ something quite different from what the person actually does or is, as seen by his associates.

    The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind
    Julian Jaynes
    �
    I am mostly interested in this because I think deception is the most important tool of the Jews in their relentless march towards world domination. The Mossad motto, "by deception thou shall do war", could be applied to the whole of the Jew species, Homo Judaicus: the alien Jews have been waging war against humanity since ancient times, mostly through deception and treachery, especially as fifth columnists ensconced in almost every country on earth.

    Unfortunately, very few "goyim" can see through Jewish deception, which the Jews have been perfecting since the dawn of human consciousness itself. In a way, the vast majority of "goyim" are still transitioning out of bicamerality, for they have not been able to pierce through the veil of Jew treachery and deception. The Jews, on the other hand, are fully conscious beings endowed with a "three-thousand year consciousness" (Carl Jung), the most ancient on earth alongside that of the Chinese.

    The survival of the human race depends fundamentally on reaching this inescapable conclusion: through deception, the alien Jews are waging a relentless war on the human race with the ultimate goal of killing most of us off and enslaving the few that survive. To stop the alien Jews from reaching their satanic goal, humans will have to begin to NOTICE Jew treachery, en masse: that's the "Noticing" the world desperately needs (sorry, Steve Sailer). After the more tab I'll put some more Julian Jaynes quotes, summarized here below by chatgpt:

    Julian Jaynes explores the Khabiru (identified with the Hebrews) as a case study in the transition from the bicameral mind to subjective consciousness, highlighting the role of deception in this transformation. The Khabiru were a nomadic, marginalized group navigating survival through raiding, cunning, and adaptation. Their circumstances demanded behaviors requiring self-awareness, such as strategic planning and deceit, traits absent in bicameral individuals reliant on divine hallucinations for guidance.

    Here are three longer quotes from Jaynes's discussion on the Khabiru and deception:

    CHAPTER 6: The Moral Consciousness of the Khabiru

    On Deception as a Hallmark of Consciousness:

    "The Hebrew arum meaning crafty or deceitful, surely a conscious subjective word, is only used three or four times throughout the entire Old Testament. It is here used to describe the source of the temptation. The ability to deceive, we remember, is one of the hallmarks of consciousness. The serpent promises that 'you shall be like the elohim themselves, knowing good and evil' (Genesis 3:5), qualities that only subjective conscious man is capable of. And when these first humans had eaten of the tree of knowledge, suddenly 'the eyes of them both were opened,' their analog eyes in their metaphored mind-space, 'and they knew that they were naked' (Genesis 3:7), or had autoscopic visions and were narratizing, seeing themselves as others see them."

    David and the Role of Deception in Conscious Acts:

    "David, whom Samuel chooses from all the sons of Jesse in a bicameral manner, and who is only so bicameral as to obtain short sharp 'Go up's from He-who-is. His subjective consciousness is demonstrated in his ability to deceive Achish (I Samuel 21:13). And then Jonathan, subjectively able to deceive his father, but having to rely on cledonomancy, or divining by first words spoken by someone, for military decisions (14:8-13)."

    Deception and Craftiness in Survival:

    "To the established city-states, these refugees were the desperate outcasts of the desert wilderness. The city people thought of them collectively as robbers and vagrants. And so they often were, either singly, as miserable homeless wretches stealing by night the grapes which the vine-dressers scorned to pick, or as whole tribes raiding the city peripheries for their cattle and produce... Some perhaps were still trying to follow inadequate bicameral voices... while others, having struggled unsuccessfully to mingle with more settled peoples, then pushed out into the open desert where only the ruthless survive, perhaps in precarious pursuit of some hallucinated vision, some back parts of a god, some new city or promised land."

    These quotes collectively emphasize Jaynes's view of deception as a critical function of emerging consciousness, marking a shift from bicameral guidance to introspection and intentionality.

    Neanderthal Hardcover – April 7, 1996
    by John Darnton (Author)
    A novel by a NYT reporter.

    the Neanderthals Lose because the Humans can Lie, and the Neanderthals can’t.

  • Adam and Eve are about 6,000 years old.
    This makes makes more sense to me than evolution, apes and Neanderthal man.

  • In 1971, Oscar Kiss Maerth published a book titled “The Beginning Was the End” (originally published in German as “Der Anfang war das Ende”).
    This book claimed that humans evolved from cannibalistic apes that systematically consumed the brains of their fellow species over thousands of years.
    According to Maerth, this brain-eating diet led to an increase in brain size, sex drive, and aggression in these apes, ultimately resulting in the emergence of modern humans.

    When Cambodia fell, most of the ruling elites fled. The main horrors were done against the people of Cambodia who were dragged to work in communes.

    �
    It's questionable if the results are usually a net improvement. Stalin was not better than Tsar Nicholas -- even the present state of most of the components of the old Russian Empire isn't very edifying. On the other hand, Tsarist Russia really was progressing by leaps and bounds in every way possible -- look it up.

    The same for Wilhelmine Germany vs its successors. Was there anything so awful about the ancien regime in Cambodia that exterminating a third of the population was called for? Suppose Communism had never come to China. Wouldn't it have wound up about where it is now -- minus the greatest artificially induced famine in human history? The Mexican Revolution did not lead to happy times. Others can probably furnish further examples.

    On the other hand, peaceful evolution has worked pretty well: the US, 1789-1963. Britain, 1689-1960. Japan -- forever.

    Revolution red in tooth and claw may be viscerally appealing -- but as a rule, it seems to be a bad idea.

    Here are a series of disconnected and not necessarily relevant observations:

    1. Man has always waged war. Your primitive New Guinea Highland tribes go out and fling spears at their neighbors about once a year. Eventually someone is seriously hurt or killed, and that’s it until next year. We see the same thing with petty gang warfare in the inner city.

    Endless raiding and inconclusive warfare is the norm among primitive societies. What changes with our social evolution is that the warfare becomes less frequent but more cataclysmic. Sociologically, we’re still reeling from the First World War. War wasn’t supposed to be like that. These days, instead of the tribal feud Pax _____ is followed by apocalypse.

    2. One striking difference between ourselves and Neanderthals is that we’re curious; they apparently weren’t. Someone once noted that some group of Neanderthals lived on one side of the Straits of Gibraltar for millennia — and there’s no evidence they ever crossed. Homo Sapiens never would have stood for that. We have to go see, to change it, to put in new carpeting. Leave it alone? Never.

    3. You missed the most striking example of an ancient memory of a monstrous ‘other.’ Grendl, in Beowulf.

    4. I’ve long suspected that the supposed mighty intelligence of Neanderthals owes more to an adaption to a cold climate than to great intelligence. In cold surroundings, you have to have a big, properly heated brain. Dolphins have huge brains — but it’s been pointed out that their behavior doesn’t demonstrate any great intelligence. It’s just that the damned thing has to be kept warm to work.

    Ditto for Neanderthals? Perhaps they were merely a cold-climate variation of Homo Erectus rather than our intellectual rivals.

    That is a hard argument to make in the face of the fact that one of our primate phylogenetic cousins, Pan troglodytes, has been documented to eliminate a neighboring band and seize its territory. And the book, War Before Civilization: The Myth of the Peaceful Savage, documents prehistorically the genocidal slaughter of human bands.
    https://www.amazon.com/War-Before-Civilization-Peaceful-Savage/dp/0195119126/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2GHRKKAUMCQ0B&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.G4DLizsFh-NTxP77VixiXY-1BzkZmh8YUol6a7He-cmgqWGVYn062y4s69-fW7Go.NBZtn1Gt0zRRiN_GLlF6u70AtZK9GfdrDvdHvBUdljM&dib_tag=se&keywords=war+before+civilization+the+myth+of+the+peaceful+savage&qid=1733229867&sprefix=war+before%2Caps%2C134&sr=8-1

    Of course, there is the evidence of the Indo-European Y-chromosome take over in Neolithic farmer populations of Europe.

    Then there is an evolutionary argument: How can men be so warlike unless there was a genetic payoff for war in the past.

    New Guinea may represent the low IQ version of war, in contrast to the Indo-European high IQ version.

  • @MarLuc7

    If this theory is true, then war is anything but a creation of advanced society — peace is the exception to the rule of endemic tribal, territorial aggression. War is fundamental to human nature because war created human nature.

    Something clearly changed with the advent of sedentary civilised society, a change that sublimated human competition into managerial and memetic alternatives to martial conflict. But have the stakes changed all that much? Just because it’s now mostly performed with popular narratives and public notaries instead of bare knuckles and bloody knives matters little in the grand scheme of things. The future still belongs to those tribes who defend their territories.
    �
    What Progressed the Human Species? Mating and Selective Breeding. Whenever there is the creation of a stable society, (food, water and shelter) then Societal Culture determines mating rituals and mate selection.

    1) I think it was the Transition from Hunter / Gatherer to Agrarian Farmer that began the true progression of the human race.

    Only by first satisfying the need for food, clothing and shelter does the Neanderthal have time to pontificate on life's mysteries. In today's society our Academics come from wealthy families...."Poor Boy goes to Work....Rich Boy Goes to College". It takes time to sit and read.

    2) Nature - Vrs - Nurture: If we look at Developmental Psychology ---We now know the Formative Years of Brain Development (Birth to about 8 years old). So adequate food to build our bodies and brains and a culture that values interaction, training and education of the young. Culture only develops out of a stable tribe environment. Those tribes with plentiful access of high quality protein evolved. Protein is key for survival.

    The Invention of the Written Language: This staggering leap in cognitive development set the stage for Intellectual thought. Before the written Language, only tribal elders could pass down campfire stories containing nuggets of wisdom (Oral Tradition). After written language ----The ability to Read greatly enhanced our success in life ---We could become wise without gaining access to Tribal Elders. We could learn all sorts of things. A similar shift in cognitive advancement is now occurring with the Smart Phone. Consider this ---The Chat GPT AI App on a 12 Year old's Smart Phone is more powerful than all Brick and Mortar Libraries on the face of the earth COMBINED. Knowledge used to be power. The you young had to cautiously approach a tribal elder with their questions. Now the young have access to more wisdom and understanding than their parents every knew. It is revolutionary.

    The American Indians were eventually obliterated by similarly armed English settlers because they had NO Written Language. They could not organize, unite and create meaningful military strategy...they could not unite themselves. The English settlers quickly figured them out and realized they were stupid children who could be lied to and played against each other. They sold their land for Shiny Mirrors and Beads. Their military strategy was to get high on peyotes, dance around a campfire and pray to some White Buffalo.

    Why do Jews excel in Law and Finance? Because 2000 years of selective breeding. Attaining the level of Rabbi was the holy grail of self development for a young Jewish boy. Valuing intelligence and reading at an early age. Mastering the Talmud, the Torah and all other documents of Jewish life required intense study. Those who had the knack were elevated in their society and had their pick of mates. Even today the very big difference between a Jewish Home and a Gentile home is that the Jewish home has a library trove of BOOKS and the Gentile home has PS2 and X-Box.

    War is fundamental to human nature because war created human nature.
    �
    As sentient beings with the ability for Empathy --I do not think it is in our nature to kill / harm and mutilate each other. These are cultural traits. An infant has to be taught to hate and kill and harm. War takes a heavy toll on those men who proudly march off for Glory and Fame ---and maybe some pussy when they return triumphantly. 20 Veterans a Day commit suicide in America. They suffer from PTSD. If killing is so naturally hard wired into our DNA why is there such regret for the ones we kill.

    Do you think this kid returned home in one piece? He is terrified. He sits in utter fear, which drives extreme violence and cruelty. Kill or Be Killed:

    https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/gettyimages-2668826-master-1522353987.jpg

    Certain peoples, cultures and societies are known for their cruelty. Societal norms EVOLVE without Darwinian Pressures. What is in vogue in one century becomes aberrant in the next. Boys in early Europe used to hunt, capture and horribly torture house cats. Cats were considered Evil. Now they are treasured pets.

    Why do we still War in Modern Times? War is Profit --For many, It is a Business Model. War just another expression of Capitalism. The average person does not want war. It is only Fear and Propaganda and Societal Pressures crafted via sustained Propaganda Campaigns (i.e. The White Feather Movement of WWI) that send young men off to war. Those who have studied the human condition know how to appeal to emotion, and fuel the Fear that creates war. Governmental Drafts are non-negotiable. Those elites instituting Drafts do not send their own sons into war.

Excellent soil for a variety of crops and live stock. Perfect ratio of sumner sun and rain.

    And for the last 7,000 years Europeans have incessantly warred on other.

  • @Pepé Le Pew
    Could the Khazarian Jews be descendants of the Denisovans?

    Arnold Leese writing in 1938 about Jewish Ritual Murder had this to say about Jews in chapter 1:

    "IT is incontestable that the ancient "Semites" manifested a peculiar leaning towards the practice of bloody sacrifices to their gods.

    Typical is the Jewish story of Abraham offering to slay with a knife his first-born, Isaac, as an offering to Yahweh who had commanded him so to do. More typical still is the Semitic idea that his god would require such a murder to be done.

    In Excavations at Gezer, R. A. S. Macalister tells us that the bodies of sacrificed young children were found in all semitic strata; this work describes the remains of these victims of which pictures are given. Isaiah charges the Jews with "enflaming themselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks" (lvii, 5). There are many other Old Testament references to the practice of sacrificing children to Moloch.

    Says the Rev. J. Kitto in the Cyclopædia of Biblical Literature, 1895, "their altars smoked with human blood from the time of Abraham to the fall of the Kingdoms of Judah and Israel." "

    �
    In chapter 2 he goes on:

    "SOME people say that it is the Talmud that made the Jew what he is. I take another view. I say that it is the Jew that made the Talmud.

    I believe that the urge for human sacrifice comes not through religion but through race; the idea is, I think, an original one, and came to me from observation on one race in particular, that known as the Armenoid or Hither Asiatic race, which I consider has a decided instinct towards sadism.

    It is, I believe, the strong Armenoid or Hither Asiatic strain which exists in the Jewish Nation upon which we have to lay the responsibility for many unpleasant Jewish traits and practices, among them Ritual Murder. The Jews are a nation without a home, not a race; they are a mixture of races, and the racial constituent which is most frequently to be found among them is the Armenoid, or, as it is sometimes called, Hither Asiatic. The other races which have contributed most to the Jewish types, whether Ashkenazim or Sephardim, are the Mongoloid, Negroid, Oriental and (White) Alpine.

    The Armenoid race seems to have concentrated in Asia Minor, where it predominates not only in Jews, but in Armenians, and affects the blood of many "Turks," "Syrians," "Georgians" and even Kurds. From this Asiatic centre, a veritable plague of Armenoid blood has spread in every direction. Northward, in the early centuries A.D., it advanced through the Khazar Empire which flourished about 730 A.D."
    �
    I find the usage of the term Armenoid" to be interesting in light of this books usage:

    Carleton Coon (1904–81) described the regions of West Asia such as Anatolia, the Caucasus, Iraq, Iran, and the Levant as the center of distribution of the Armenoid race.

  • ‘WAR MAKING APES’ CREATED THE ENGLISH EMPIRE

    BLOOD LUST AND ADVENTURE-SEEKING LIMEYS CREATED THE ENGLISH EMPIRE

    THE ENGLISH EMPIRE WAS NOT CREATED “IN A FIT OF ABSENT-MINDEDNESS”

    I got 1630s Virginia Company ancestry and 1630s Massachusetts Bay Colony ancestry and my English ancestors were ‘war making apes’ who worshipped the God of Warr. The American colonial Connecticut people were even more naturally bellicose and piratical and they also worshipped the God of Warr. Scripture and religious talk is just a cover for the rock to bash somebody’s brains out.

    The key is discernment and discretion as to when to let loose with the inborn, innate primeval skull crushing natural forces within each person.

    Slow boil Limeys can keep up the murderousness for a long time and with great purpose.

    This is why sometimes English people are so appalled at wanton, needless violence; pointless violence is deemed to be brutish and unseemly behaviour best left to filthy, uncivilized savage Nig Nog Wogs.

    Milius, Coppola and maybe even Brando did the ‘war making apes’ bit in the movie Apocalypse Now:

    I’ve seen horrors… horrors that you’ve seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that… but you have no right to judge me. It’s impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror… Horror has a face… and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies!

    I remember when I was with Special Forces… seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate some children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn’t see. We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember… I… I… I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out; I didn’t know what I wanted to do! And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it… I never want to forget.

    And then I realized… like I was shot… like I was shot with a diamond… a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, my God… the genius of that! The genius! The will to do that! Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we, because they could stand that these were not monsters, these were men… trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love… but they had the strength… the strength… to do that.

    If I had ten divisions of those men, our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral… and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling… without passion… without judgment… without judgment! Because it’s judgment that defeats us.

    Nonsense. Long before the genus Homo (including Neanderthals) made it to Europe, all of their ancestors (a small band and that's it), moved into some caves along the South African coast. Many of the things that make human beings (including Neanderthals) different from apes arise from this. Hairlessness is an adaptation for swimming. So is the fact that women's hair grows long and they do not go bald. The babies needed to hang on to it while floating in the sea. So does our down-facing noses. Preventing sea water from flooding into our lungs every time we went under.

    The era you are talking about (actually several eras) occurred aeons after that idyll by the South African sea.

  • Mr. Woods have you read about the concept of sexual dimorphism? The work of Peter Frost would be of great benefit in refining your theories. He has written extensively on sexual selection and sexual dimorphism in humans. He also has from what I have read the best theory on the origin of light hair and eyes in ice age europeans. Which stems from a sexual selection bias on the part of men and food scarcity ( most food was meat provided by male hunters) so as to prohibit polygamy in the region.

    Also I am unaware of the Levant being the cradle of cro magnon culture and phenotype. The earliest skeletons come from west europe. Recent skeletal remains in Greece and North west Africa throw in to doubt the rift valley origin of humanity.

    Gerry,

    And where, and when, and how exactly did LIFE begin? No one knows; there is no proof, only theories.

    I am no educated scientist. I am a 73-year-old retired industrial electrician. In my years, I have done a fair amount of thinking about "life" and its origin. From what I have learned, one must have life in order for there to be new life.

    As far as the origin of war is concerned, I believe that it is mankind's INHERENT NATURE to covet what is not his and to obtain as much as he (or she) can, even if it means killing others.

    From what I understand, humanists believe that mankind, if given enough time, will perfect himself (or herself) and that because of this, their bad traits will disappear.

    I believe that just the opposite is true. I believe that mankind is inherently evil and that he (or she) must work at being "good." In other words, we are the way we are because of human nature. And human nature being what it is, the killing will go on, with ever more efficient ways of accomplishing it.

  • MarLuc7 says:

    If this theory is true, then war is anything but a creation of advanced society — peace is the exception to the rule of endemic tribal, territorial aggression. War is fundamental to human nature because war created human nature.

    Something clearly changed with the advent of sedentary civilised society, a change that sublimated human competition into managerial and memetic alternatives to martial conflict. But have the stakes changed all that much? Just because it’s now mostly performed with popular narratives and public notaries instead of bare knuckles and bloody knives matters little in the grand scheme of things. The future still belongs to those tribes who defend their territories.

    What Progressed the Human Species? Mating and Selective Breeding. Whenever there is the creation of a stable society, (food, water and shelter) then Societal Culture determines mating rituals and mate selection.

    1) I think it was the Transition from Hunter / Gatherer to Agrarian Farmer that began the true progression of the human race.

    Only by first satisfying the need for food, clothing and shelter does the Neanderthal have time to pontificate on life’s mysteries. In today’s society our Academics come from wealthy families….”Poor Boy goes to Work….Rich Boy Goes to College”. It takes time to sit and read.

    2) Nature – Vrs – Nurture: If we look at Developmental Psychology —We now know the Formative Years of Brain Development (Birth to about 8 years old). So adequate food to build our bodies and brains and a culture that values interaction, training and education of the young. Culture only develops out of a stable tribe environment. Those tribes with plentiful access of high quality protein evolved. Protein is key for survival.

    The Invention of the Written Language: This staggering leap in cognitive development set the stage for Intellectual thought. Before the written Language, only tribal elders could pass down campfire stories containing nuggets of wisdom (Oral Tradition). After written language —-The ability to Read greatly enhanced our success in life —We could become wise without gaining access to Tribal Elders. We could learn all sorts of things. A similar shift in cognitive advancement is now occurring with the Smart Phone. Consider this —The Chat GPT AI App on a 12 Year old’s Smart Phone is more powerful than all Brick and Mortar Libraries on the face of the earth COMBINED. Knowledge used to be power. The you young had to cautiously approach a tribal elder with their questions. Now the young have access to more wisdom and understanding than their parents every knew. It is revolutionary.

    The American Indians were eventually obliterated by similarly armed English settlers because they had NO Written Language. They could not organize, unite and create meaningful military strategy…they could not unite themselves. The English settlers quickly figured them out and realized they were stupid children who could be lied to and played against each other. They sold their land for Shiny Mirrors and Beads. Their military strategy was to get high on peyotes, dance around a campfire and pray to some White Buffalo.

    Why do Jews excel in Law and Finance? Because 2000 years of selective breeding. Attaining the level of Rabbi was the holy grail of self development for a young Jewish boy. Valuing intelligence and reading at an early age. Mastering the Talmud, the Torah and all other documents of Jewish life required intense study. Those who had the knack were elevated in their society and had their pick of mates. Even today the very big difference between a Jewish Home and a Gentile home is that the Jewish home has a library trove of BOOKS and the Gentile home has PS2 and X-Box.

    War is fundamental to human nature because war created human nature.

    As sentient beings with the ability for Empathy —I do not think it is in our nature to kill / harm and mutilate each other. These are cultural traits. An infant has to be taught to hate and kill and harm. War takes a heavy toll on those men who proudly march off for Glory and Fame —and maybe some pussy when they return triumphantly. 20 Veterans a Day commit suicide in America. They suffer from PTSD. If killing is so naturally hard wired into our DNA why is there such regret for the ones we kill.

    Do you think this kid returned home in one piece? He is terrified. He sits in utter fear, which drives extreme violence and cruelty. Kill or Be Killed:

    Certain peoples, cultures and societies are known for their cruelty. Societal norms EVOLVE without Darwinian Pressures. What is in vogue in one century becomes aberrant in the next. Boys in early Europe used to hunt, capture and horribly torture house cats. Cats were considered Evil. Now they are treasured pets.

    In America we slaughter and eat pigs, yet pigs are more intelligent and loyal than Dogs. And other Countries love Dog Meat. Readily available Food Sources determine our Societal Norms. Food Sources vary greatly by Geographical Location.

    CULTURE: One perverted tribal elder can lead his entire tribe down the wrong path and before you know it, you have a whole culture of perverted weirdos —and that ridiculous shit is passed down from one generation to the next.

    Why do we still War in Modern Times? War is Profit –For many, It is a Business Model. War just another expression of Capitalism. The average person does not want war. It is only Fear and Propaganda and Societal Pressures crafted via sustained Propaganda Campaigns (i.e. The White Feather Movement of WWI) that send young men off to war. Those who have studied the human condition know how to appeal to emotion, and fuel the Fear that creates war. Governmental Drafts are non-negotiable. Those elites instituting Drafts do not send their own sons into war.

    I say:

    The greedy White ‘war making ape’ scum born before 1965 are waging evil and demonic war against their own people and their own nations, and their main weapons are monetary policy extremism and nation-killing open borders mass immigration.

    The primordial urge to kill, within Whites born before 1965, has been subverted by JEWS ORGANIZED GLOBALLY(JOG) into an urge to kill their own nations by using open borders mass immigration and multicultural mayhem.

    If a person were cynical, they would muse about the CIA utilizing various CIA bank grants or stipends to send some of the over-educated academic ‘apes’ abroad to “study” various cultures in nations of some strategic or profitable concern. The ulterior motives would be to determine the best way to subvert and sabotage these cultures and foreign peoples to make them more suitable for plutocratic plundering using globalization and financialization and the American Empire to ‘farm’ them as it were.

    In a similar manner, JEWS ORGANIZED GLOBALLY(JOG) used the imposition of White Guilt and the so-called “moral high ground” provided by WWII and the magic of monetary policy extremism and open borders mass immigration and multicultural ideology to render the White slobs born before 1965 numb and fat as to what was happening to their nation.

    Why did the White Americans born before 1965 allow their nation to be invaded and colonized by mass legal immigration and mass illegal immigration after World War II? Was it the doings of the anti-White, anti-Christian gang of nation-wreckers in JEWS ORGANIZED GLOBALLY(JOG)?

    My connection of monetary policy and immigration policy still stands as one of the most sophisticated political conceptual works of the last 60 years. Simple it is:

    The JEW/WASP Ruling Class of the American Empire used monetary policy to buy off the greedy White slobs born before 1965 so those greedy White slobs would keep their mouths shut about the nation-killing effects of mass legal immigration and mass illegal immigration. The multiple series of asset bubbles inflated by the privately-controlled Federal Reserve Bank bought off the greedy White slobs born before 1965 and that is why the nation-wrecking mass legal immigration and mass illegal immigration wasn’t stopped sooner.

    The monetary policy extremism and open borders mass immigration currently underway is WAR WAR WAR against the European Christian ancestral core of the USA.

    The open borders mass immigration is demographic war against the European Christian ancestral core of the USA.

The arc of humanity is to settle, build, destroy, re-build and keep rebuilding untill it is no longer feasible. Then move elsewhere and restart the cycle.

    There’s a simpler explanation for women’s long hair:

    “The heterosexual evolutionary perspective suggests that men, over time and across cultures, prefer youthful features (smooth skin, white eyes, full lips, good muscle tone, leg length, lumbar curvature, facial symmetry, LONG/FULL HAIR, feminine voice) as indications of FERTILITY or HEALTHY GENES.”

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminine_beauty_ideal#Evolutionary_perspectives

    In other words, the presence of long hair in a woman suggests she may have avoided diseases, thereby increasing her fertility prospects.

    one thing I’ve noticed about the discussion of the disappearance of our hominid cousins never mentions one of homo sapiens greatest gifts, and that is our ability to engage in deceit.

    I think you’re right in pointing out deceit as “one of homo sapiens’ greatest gifts”, but I don’t know if it played a part in the disappearance of other hominids, since “conscious” deceit may have developed much later. That’s the theory proposed by Julian Jaynes, who posits that consciousness in its modern sense began to arise during the second millennium B.C. in Mesopotamia. To Jaynes, deception could have played a vital role in the emergence of consciousness.

    The Origin of the Analog ‘I’ in Deceit
    Deceit may also be a cause of consciousness. But we must begin any discussion of the topic by making a distinction between instrumental or short-term deceit and long-term deceit, which might better be expressed as treachery. Several examples of the former have been described in chimpanzees. Female chimpanzees will present in sexual posture to a male to whisk away his banana when his prandial interest is thus distracted. … the deceit involved is a case of instrumental learning, a behavior pattern that is followed immediately by some rewarding state of affairs. And it needs no further explanation.

    But the kind of deceit that is treachery is quite another matter. It is impossible for an animal or for a bicameral man. Long-term deceit requires the invention of an analog self that can ‘do’ or ‘be’ something quite different from what the person actually does or is, as seen by his associates.

    The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind
    Julian Jaynes

    I am mostly interested in this because I think deception is the most important tool of the Jews in their relentless march towards world domination. The Mossad motto, “by deception thou shall do war”, could be applied to the whole of the Jew species, Homo Judaicus: the alien Jews have been waging war against humanity since ancient times, mostly through deception and treachery, especially as fifth columnists ensconced in almost every country on earth.

    Unfortunately, very few “goyim” can see through Jewish deception, which the Jews have been perfecting since the dawn of human consciousness itself. In a way, the vast majority of “goyim” are still transitioning out of bicamerality, for they have not been able to pierce through the veil of Jew treachery and deception. The Jews, on the other hand, are fully conscious beings endowed with a “three-thousand year consciousness” (Carl Jung), the most ancient on earth alongside that of the Chinese.

    The survival of the human race depends fundamentally on reaching this inescapable conclusion: through deception, the alien Jews are waging a relentless war on the human race with the ultimate goal of killing most of us off and enslaving the few that survive. To stop the alien Jews from reaching their satanic goal, humans will have to begin to NOTICE Jew treachery, en masse: that’s the “Noticing” the world desperately needs (sorry, Steve Sailer). After the more tab I’ll put some more Julian Jaynes quotes, summarized here below by chatgpt:

    Julian Jaynes explores the Khabiru (identified with the Hebrews) as a case study in the transition from the bicameral mind to subjective consciousness, highlighting the role of deception in this transformation. The Khabiru were a nomadic, marginalized group navigating survival through raiding, cunning, and adaptation. Their circumstances demanded behaviors requiring self-awareness, such as strategic planning and deceit, traits absent in bicameral individuals reliant on divine hallucinations for guidance.

    [MORE]
    Here are three longer quotes from Jaynes’s discussion on the Khabiru and deception:

    CHAPTER 6: The Moral Consciousness of the Khabiru

    On Deception as a Hallmark of Consciousness:

    “The Hebrew arum meaning crafty or deceitful, surely a conscious subjective word, is only used three or four times throughout the entire Old Testament. It is here used to describe the source of the temptation. The ability to deceive, we remember, is one of the hallmarks of consciousness. The serpent promises that ‘you shall be like the elohim themselves, knowing good and evil’ (Genesis 3:5), qualities that only subjective conscious man is capable of. And when these first humans had eaten of the tree of knowledge, suddenly ‘the eyes of them both were opened,’ their analog eyes in their metaphored mind-space, ‘and they knew that they were naked’ (Genesis 3:7), or had autoscopic visions and were narratizing, seeing themselves as others see them.”

    David and the Role of Deception in Conscious Acts:

    “David, whom Samuel chooses from all the sons of Jesse in a bicameral manner, and who is only so bicameral as to obtain short sharp ‘Go up’s from He-who-is. His subjective consciousness is demonstrated in his ability to deceive Achish (I Samuel 21:13). And then Jonathan, subjectively able to deceive his father, but having to rely on cledonomancy, or divining by first words spoken by someone, for military decisions (14:8-13).”

    Deception and Craftiness in Survival:

    “To the established city-states, these refugees were the desperate outcasts of the desert wilderness. The city people thought of them collectively as robbers and vagrants. And so they often were, either singly, as miserable homeless wretches stealing by night the grapes which the vine-dressers scorned to pick, or as whole tribes raiding the city peripheries for their cattle and produce… Some perhaps were still trying to follow inadequate bicameral voices… while others, having struggled unsuccessfully to mingle with more settled peoples, then pushed out into the open desert where only the ruthless survive, perhaps in precarious pursuit of some hallucinated vision, some back parts of a god, some new city or promised land.”

    These quotes collectively emphasize Jaynes’s view of deception as a critical function of emerging consciousness, marking a shift from bicameral guidance to introspection and intentionality.

    There is much evidence for the acquatic theory, but much of it doesn’t apply to sub-saharan Africans. If you see it as having applied to the Bushmen and Kha Soi or Hottentonts, how so. Can’t see it at all.

    So if the theory is true, it didn’t affect them, since they had no such time of semi-acquatic life. It is clearly seen as scientifc heresy by the inadequate and very biased wikipidea article.

    The one of Carl Sagan’s serial wives who wrote a book on the hypothesis, I read the book and it was very convincing.

    The points are convincing, and only apply to east Asian and European populations.

    The aquatic hypethosis is suppressed since it contradicts the ‘recent out of Africa’ dogma, which is broken in so many ways in any case.

    Are you a woman? I share your overall sentiment re war. Better to look for the win/win, to my mind. But there are times when all that is served is win/lose. Wasn’t that the case for the people of Germany, after World War 1? If your introductory reference is ‘The Jews’, why don’t you just say so (this is TUR, after all)?

    Look, …. I think you may be a woman (or alternatively, a very very mixed up man, of which I have met many) because you don’t seem to understand that the whole set-up, (from an evolutionary psychology perspective, let’s say) had men fighting over resources, in large part, to obtain access to, and then subsequently maintain support, of women. Humans of course are not the only species like this. Long periods of helplessness of infants and very young children makes this dynamic accentuated for humans. Then the human pre-civilizational dynamic grew into a the cultural dynamic of civilization, and this normal masculine human drive was somewhat subverted thereafter (i.e. – if you are a young childless dead man, for a king’s war let’s say, … well, that completely collapses the raison d’être for the deeply encoded masculine drive to try to dominate the environment, including other human tribes, if necessary, for instance, for women).

    So what did we do then, post advent of civilization, as humans? We devised non-lethal competition as a high human art form. It is not enough to just denounce war. You must recognize that this masculine drive still requires an outlet. The young men in particular, need outlets for competition. And we do have a whole lot of that, in various forms. Sporting events is a good example. I think Elon Musk has got the epitomic idea, around this though …. dominate the stars (new environments, that we will find ways to get to, so as to dominate). We don’t need wars to eventuate that (and in fact, wars will be counter-productive to such epitomic endeavors). It’s win/win for us then (the humans). Maybe for all life on this planet too. Maybe the human species is the spore, for life-flowering elsewhere. Maybe the immensely deep ways of the earthly life-force, use the human species, in ways we do not even remotely understand, yet.

    ======================================================================

    Thats right ! The crux of this long, convoluted and tiresome article is that we are so smart we have outsmarted ourselves i.e. we have used our brains to invent weapons which can wipe us out. Kind of like inventing the revolver so we could play Russian Roulette.

    And, to add to our brilliance, after we smoke planet Earth, we will leave its confines to settle another planet which, given our nasty character and habits, we will wreck as well. Like present day immigrants we will flee this shithole, head to another planet for a new start and a better life, and, turn that into a shithole too.

    Maybe the Shrinks are right. Men who are super intelligent descend into insanity.

    Many years ago I spent some time among an Indian group in Brazil. Until 4-5 decades ago they were the terror of the Amazon. From time to time they would kill encroachers on their territory. From time to time, a raiding party (about 15 men) would also sneak into the territory of a neighbouring tribe, bash in a few heads and make off with the women, some children and whatever loot was useful. Raid were usually for revenge, women, or “war”.

    Whites in the nearby settlements, while murdering and perverting the Indians for their land and resources, considered THEM, “murdering bastards”. Imagine the awed silence and then the screams of disbelief when the men gathered in the communal hut to watch the Battle of the Somme. It boggled their minds that the White Man, by the millions, indulged in such an orgy of violence. They were even more horrified when I told them men were specifically trained to kill, maim and destroy. The Indian lad, the “savage” would know how to use the bow and arrow, blowpipe, club and in later years the shotgun but never to the deliberate destructive level of the Civilizado !

    If you ask me the Big Bang of Human Consciousness is all nonsense unless of course we admit we stopped killing on a small scale to survive and for fun and started killing on a grand scale for fun or for no sensible reason at all !

    I somehow dont think we have arrived at this point in our evolution after clear and careful conscious thought. After 45,000 years of art, poetry, music and culture and whatever, we still dont seem to understand that loading a revolver with 5 cartridges and pointing it at our own heads in not a good idea.

    I think you're right in pointing out deceit as "one of homo sapiens' greatest gifts", but I don't know if it played a part in the disappearance of other hominids, since "conscious" deceit may have developed much later. That's the theory proposed by Julian Jaynes, who posits that consciousness in its modern sense began to arise during the second millennium B.C. in Mesopotamia. To Jaynes, deception could have played a vital role in the emergence of consciousness.

    The Origin of the Analog ‘I’ in Deceit
    Deceit may also be a cause of consciousness. But we must begin any discussion of the topic by making a distinction between instrumental or short-term deceit and long-term deceit, which might better be expressed as treachery. Several examples of the former have been described in chimpanzees. Female chimpanzees will present in sexual posture to a male to whisk away his banana when his prandial interest is thus distracted. ... the deceit involved is a case of instrumental learning, a behavior pattern that is followed immediately by some rewarding state of affairs. And it needs no further explanation.

    But the kind of deceit that is treachery is quite another matter. It is impossible for an animal or for a bicameral man. Long-term deceit requires the invention of an analog self that can ‘do’ or ‘be’ something quite different from what the person actually does or is, as seen by his associates.

    In fact, two movies came out in April 1968: Kubrick's Ode to Violent Rapid Evolution was the one.

    Planet of the Apes was the other, and it considered evolutionary intelligence as springing from the human ability to communicate by language. The apes are dumbstruck when Heston shouts something like "Get your paws off me you damn dirty ape."

    Most thinking people give points to Boulle's ape fantasy. Language seems the primary conductor. Even if Neanderthals had some speech abilities, early humans had some sort of lead. If it had all been about learning on the fly, we'd be extinct.

    The usual explanation for early human language was hunting packs. We had to be able to make points involving potable water, good pinch-points to trap game, and so on. When the Neanderthals came to eat us up, we already had the basics. How much it speeded things up is speculation.

    So we don’t need Vendramini’s elaborate theory about human’s unique aesthetic features and martial prowess developing specifically as an “anti-Neanderthal†trend enforced by the collective. These traits could have been the result of anything that enduced endemic warfare against other hominids (not necessarily Neanderthals) or just between human tribes. This would explain a general pattern in the development of humans, with complex civilisations emerging out of migrations from fertile river valley regions that became the cradles of civilisation, since it was in these cauldrons of endemic warfare that martial evolution was most rapid.
    �
    Can see there are more than a few incongruities with this piece, especially from the quoted passage:

    1. How exactly would you explain the trend of mate selection of females based on their neotenic features, without appealing to Vendramini's theory that this was done in order to accentuate differences in exterior appearance between humans and Neanderthals?
    Because if the enemy you want to differentiate from were other tribes of humans instead of Neanderthals as Keith Woods purposes, then each of these neighbouring human tribes would engage in doing the same thing, meaning that female neotenic features cannot be explained in terms of such so-called "martial ape" evolutionary theory, other than in terms of Vendramini's hypothesis.

    2. How is it that fertile-valley-dwelling Bronze Age societies are here purported to be more warlike, when in reality they all succumbed to nomadic tribes descending on them from the fringes of their world, or in the case of Egypt, were eventually conquered by hill-dwelling, peripherally located, and thus supposedly less-warlike Assyrians?

    The ancient Egyptians lived in a very rich agricultural delta. And they were fiercely expansionist and warlike.

    Europe, plus what’s now Turkey from the Atlantic shores to the beginning of the Steppe lands is one of the most productive agricultural regions of the world. Excellent soil for a variety of crops and live stock. Perfect ratio of sumner sun and rain. A great network of river highways for fish, transportation of food and goods The Atlantic and the great seas for seafood including seaweed.

    And for the last 7,000 years Europeans have incessantly warred on other.

    I know that standard military theory about the nomads from the mountains forests steppes attacking the rich farmlands. Makes sense. Until you realize the rich farmers attacked each other as much as the nomads attacked the farmers.

  • Could the Khazarian Jews be descendants of the Denisovans?

    Arnold Leese writing in 1938 about Jewish Ritual Murder had this to say about Jews in chapter 1:

    “IT is incontestable that the ancient “Semites” manifested a peculiar leaning towards the practice of bloody sacrifices to their gods.

    Typical is the Jewish story of Abraham offering to slay with a knife his first-born, Isaac, as an offering to Yahweh who had commanded him so to do. More typical still is the Semitic idea that his god would require such a murder to be done.

    In Excavations at Gezer, R. A. S. Macalister tells us that the bodies of sacrificed young children were found in all semitic strata; this work describes the remains of these victims of which pictures are given. Isaiah charges the Jews with “enflaming themselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks” (lvii, 5). There are many other Old Testament references to the practice of sacrificing children to Moloch.

    Says the Rev. J. Kitto in the Cyclopædia of Biblical Literature, 1895, “their altars smoked with human blood from the time of Abraham to the fall of the Kingdoms of Judah and Israel.” ”

    In chapter 2 he goes on:

    SOME people say that it is the Talmud that made the Jew what he is. I take another view. I say that it is the Jew that made the Talmud.

    I believe that the urge for human sacrifice comes not through religion but through race; the idea is, I think, an original one, and came to me from observation on one race in particular, that known as the Armenoid or Hither Asiatic race, which I consider has a decided instinct towards sadism.

    It is, I believe, the strong Armenoid or Hither Asiatic strain which exists in the Jewish Nation upon which we have to lay the responsibility for many unpleasant Jewish traits and practices, among them Ritual Murder. The Jews are a nation without a home, not a race; they are a mixture of races, and the racial constituent which is most frequently to be found among them is the Armenoid, or, as it is sometimes called, Hither Asiatic. The other races which have contributed most to the Jewish types, whether Ashkenazim or Sephardim, are the Mongoloid, Negroid, Oriental and (White) Alpine.

    The Armenoid race seems to have concentrated in Asia Minor, where it predominates not only in Jews, but in Armenians, and affects the blood of many “Turks,” “Syrians,” “Georgians” and even Kurds. From this Asiatic centre, a veritable plague of Armenoid blood has spread in every direction. Northward, in the early centuries A.D., it advanced through the Khazar Empire which flourished about 730 A.D.”

    I find the usage of the term Armenoid” to be interesting in light of this books usage:

    Carleton Coon (1904–81) described the regions of West Asia such as Anatolia, the Caucasus, Iraq, Iran, and the Levant as the center of distribution of the Armenoid race.

    Nonsense. Long before the genus Homo (including Neanderthals) made it to Europe, all of their ancestors (a small band and that's it), moved into some caves along the South African coast. Many of the things that make human beings (including Neanderthals) different from apes arise from this. Hairlessness is an adaptation for swimming. So is the fact that women's hair grows long and they do not go bald. The babies needed to hang on to it while floating in the sea. So does our down-facing noses. Preventing sea water from flooding into our lungs every time we went under.

    The era you are talking about (actually several eras) occurred aeons after that idyll by the South African sea.

    Even if it was it doesn’t weaken his point, it undercuts the belief that warlike aggression is a basic (primordial) human trait and that war “was always here.” War wasn’t always here, it was just a special development out of barbarism, the cultural stage that succeeded peaceable savagery, usually after a primitive community started hunting large game and the men in turn start getting bigger and bigger egos and weird ideas.

    Those “basic traits” are really the new kids on the block among human traits.

  • You can certainly tell who Woods is working for! The obvious fact that war is a waste of precious human resources is missing from his ‘just so story’ (the educated will recognize my reference).

    Look at Germany. An idiot leader, not smart enough to consolidate his victories, pushed war as a religion and got his ass kicked and cowardly committed suicide after his country’s best and brightest young men were eliminated because of his stupid lust for war. Imagine the intelligence and beauty missing from modern Germany because of Hitler’s romantic and suicidal and low IQ embrace of the exact same pseudo psychological concepts promoted in this garbage article which is fit only to be printed and used as a liner in a cat litter box.

    An intelligent society does not waste its beautiful and intelligent young men. An intelligent society defends itself but does not carry out aggressive war. And it defends itself intelligently not like Putin who will be known in the future as a great slav killer on par with Hitler and Stalin.

    Are you a woman? I share your overall sentiment re war. Better to look for the win/win, to my mind. But there are times when all that is served is win/lose. Wasn't that the case for the people of Germany, after World War 1? If your introductory reference is 'The Jews', why don't you just say so (this is TUR, after all)?

    Look, .... I think you may be a woman (or alternatively, a very very mixed up man, of which I have met many) because you don't seem to understand that the whole set-up, (from an evolutionary psychology perspective, let's say) had men fighting over resources, in large part, to obtain access to, and then subsequently maintain support, of women. Humans of course are not the only species like this. Long periods of helplessness of infants and very young children makes this dynamic accentuated for humans. Then the human pre-civilizational dynamic grew into a the cultural dynamic of civilization, and this normal masculine human drive was somewhat subverted thereafter (i.e. - if you are a young childless dead man, for a king's war let's say, ... well, that completely collapses the raison d'être for the deeply encoded masculine drive to try to dominate the environment, including other human tribes, if necessary, for instance, for women).

    So what did we do then, post advent of civilization, as humans? We devised non-lethal competition as a high human art form. It is not enough to just denounce war. You must recognize that this masculine drive still requires an outlet. The young men in particular, need outlets for competition. And we do have a whole lot of that, in various forms. Sporting events is a good example. I think Elon Musk has got the epitomic idea, around this though .... dominate the stars (new environments, that we will find ways to get to, so as to dominate). We don't need wars to eventuate that (and in fact, wars will be counter-productive to such epitomic endeavors). It's win/win for us then (the humans). Maybe for all life on this planet too. Maybe the human species is the spore, for life-flowering elsewhere. Maybe the immensely deep ways of the earthly life-force, use the human species, in ways we do not even remotely understand, yet.

    In fact, two movies came out in April 1968: Kubrick’s Ode to Violent Rapid Evolution was the one.

    Planet of the Apes was the other, and it considered evolutionary intelligence as springing from the human ability to communicate by language. The apes are dumbstruck when Heston shouts something like “Get your paws off me you damn dirty ape.”

    Most thinking people give points to Boulle’s ape fantasy. Language seems the primary conductor. Even if Neanderthals had some speech abilities, early humans had some sort of lead. If it had all been about learning on the fly, we’d be extinct.

    The usual explanation for early human language was hunting packs. We had to be able to make points involving potable water, good pinch-points to trap game, and so on. When the Neanderthals came to eat us up, we already had the basics. How much it speeded things up is speculation.
