Libertarianism, immigration, race, cultural roots and collective identity

There are many rooms in the libertarian  ideological house.  That fact often derails rational discussion of libertarian issues, but it need not be a problem in this instance because the question being asked is most  efficiently  examined   by testing  it against  the flintiest wing of libertarian thought. If  that pristine, uncompromising  form of libertarianism is incompatible [...]

Out of Africa? – Races are more different than previously thought

This is the cover story on the February edition of American Renaissance vol 22.2 Some interesting new research appeared too late to be included in the article. This is my summary of them:  “There is also recent research which suggests that the Out-of-Africa 200,000 years ago version of the evolution of modern man may be [...]

The bigger the genome, the less efficient?

Researchers at Kew Gardens’ Jodrell Laboratory*  have identified the largest genome so far discovered. It belongs to the Paris japonica, a slow-growing herb native to the mountains of  the Japanese island of Honshu and  to the chagrin of many a frustrated gardener trying to cultivate in gardens , a very difficult plant to grow.  The [...]

IQ and the position of ethnic minorities

Ethnic minorities have a built-in insoluble problem – the majority population will invariably resent their presence if the ethnic population is of a size which allows them to effectively colonise a territory – and that territory may be as small as a few streets – and to be visible as a distinct group. Where this [...]

Low and high IQ behaviour

 Low IQ individuals are not monsters. Rather, they are simply people with a more limited range of behaviour than the common run of homo sapiens, just as children display a more limited range of behaviour than a normal adult. In particular low IQ individuals have difficulty with abstractions. This has implications both for problem solving [...]

The increasing IQ demands of modern society

 Take a simple everyday example of how everyday life has rapidly become more complex in our own society. Fifty years ago if you looked in the pockets of the ordinary working man you would find a wallet which probably contained money and the odd photo or a scrap of paper on which notes had been [...]

Race – the most potent of human behavioural triggers

The most potent of human behavioural triggers are racial differences for they exercise the strongest control over the group in a territory where different racial groups exist. Race trumps ethnicity where the ethnic clash is one of people of the same race but different ethnicities. Place a significant population of a different race into a [...]

Speciation by culture

If the argument for Man’s special place in Nature is moved to the ground of culture, Man’s position as an organism with unique qualities which differentiate him from all other organisms undoubtedly becomes stronger, but at the cost of threatening his position as a species as traditionally defined. Objections have been raised to the conclusions [...]

Homo Sapiens – How primitive is primitive?

If the current estimates of hominid evolution are correct, the variety classified as modern Man has a surprisingly short geological history, the upper estimates being a paltry 200,000 years. Nor is that history a simple progression. The remains of the older examples of modern Man normally have more ancient features than the younger examples, but [...]
