       Do Aryans all descend from 1 root race, or is there possibility
       of convergent evolution?
   DIR By: guest27

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I wonder this because if convergent evolution is possible, then
       Aryan character could be due to unique 'locally coadapted gene
       complexes', which would therefore be prone to loss of genetic
       cooperation upon their "shuffling" with other distinct gene
       complexes, resulting in loss of the trait itself. If you
       understand this great, if you don't I can probably elucidate.
       But the implication of this would be an inherent danger in
       inter-ethnic or inter-caste reproduction to the continuity of
       each's own harmonious Aryan genetics. This is a form of
       outbreeding depression, which is just as valid a concept as
       inbreeding depression, and I'm pretty sure we can appreciate the
       likely deleterious effect of incest on Aryan genetics.
       It's horrible to have this concern, so I prefer to think of
       Aryan character as something inherent to us as humans (or, more
       broadly, as animals), and not something that merely cropped up
       during our divergent ethnic/caste evolution. If this were the
       case, there'd be no real concern of "shuffling" different Aryan
       genetics; because they're all essentially the same.

       "Do Aryans all descend from 1 root race, or is there possibility
       of convergent evolution?"
       Convergent evolution due to similar selective pressures is the
       meaning of root race. See the motto of our Human Evolution
       board.
       "if convergent evolution is possible, then Aryan character could
       be due to unique 'locally coadapted gene complexes', which would
       therefore be prone to loss of genetic cooperation upon their
       "shuffling" with other distinct gene complexes, resulting in
       loss of the trait itself."
       But this assumes that the Aryan gene complex has not already
       been shuffled with non-Aryan gene complexes, which in reality it
       has (at the latest by the end of the Neolithic era), with the
       trait already having been lost from consistent heritability
       (which is why almost all of us here (as far as I know) do not
       have Aryan parents or siblings, and often quite the contrary).
       We are here to try to the recover the trait.
       "I prefer to think of Aryan character as something inherent to
       us as humans (or, more broadly, as animals), and not something
       that merely cropped up during our divergent ethnic/caste
       evolution."
       We currently believe that Aryan character is related to
       sufficiently retained Original Nobility. All newborn children
       begin noble; it is merely a question of how fast we lose it.
       This however does not imply that divergent evolution is
       irrelevant, because:
       1) ability to retain Original Nobility is believed to be
       correlated with neoteny;
       2) neoteny is at least partially genetic;
       3) some lifestyles exert more selective pressures than others
       against genes that cause neoteny
       If you are saying that you want to focus on recovery of Original
       Nobility through effort, that is fine. But a non-Aryan will
       require more effort to recover the same level of Original
       Nobility as an Aryan. And non-Aryans who successfully recover
       their Original Nobility through great effort will produce
       offspring who will themselves require the same great amount of
       effort to recover their Original Nobility, in other words no
       lasting improvement has occurred between generations. The point
       of Aryanization is to establish a gene pool whose individuals
       can recover their Original Nobility with minimal effort.

       Thanks for the response!
       Yet it's not a case of recovering a specific lost set of genes,
       is it? Any neotenous/Aryan genotype should do, the important
       thing is the result: retention of Original Nobility. But then
       it'd be subject to variation across individuals and groups,
       meaning two heritably Aryan individuals are liable to have
       incompatible genotypes, a risk which grows the more dissimilar
       and distant their genetic backgrounds are to each other.
       Heritability isn't based on parents sharing the same heritable
       phenotype, but the compatibility of their underlying genotypes
       -- something we can't see, but can make conjectures about. The
       fact Aryan gene pools have already been shuffled with non-Aryan
       gene pools doesn't make a non-issue of further shuffling, this
       time between disparate Aryan genotypes.
       This wouldn't be an issue if Aryan genotypes (not merely
       phenotypes) were equivalent across ethnicities, which would
       suggest common ancestry, not convergent evolution. Race means
       quality, not ethnicity; but quality alone doesn't make a race
       (unless you use the word in a purely spiritual sense, like
       'folk' if I remember your definitions correctly). You can have a
       phenotypic race comprised of various ethnicities, or even
       species, (I gather this is what's typically meant by 'Aryan
       race'), but "root race" suggests common inheritance.

       "The fact Aryan gene pools have already been shuffled with

       The DNA strand is a fixed length. Let us represent it with
       playing cards, with A representing the Aryan mutation, mixed
       with non-Aryan blood 2-K. Suits represent ethnicity.
       Let's say you are playing with spades, so you have 13 cards
       containing one A. I am playing with hearts, same thing. But if
       we combine our decks and then pick a new deck of 13 at random
       from the 26, the possibilities are:
       a) the new deck contains both As;
       b) the new deck contains one A;
       c) the new deck contains no As.
       We want a), but you are worried about c) happening instead.
       However, you are ignoring the role of state control over
       reproduction, which is the power to simply discard all the b)
       and c) decks while keeping the a) decks.

       I like your metaphor very much, I'll use it to better describe
       the issue.
       The nature of the game is important: Our deck needs to be
       structured in a certain way in order to be playable. It's more
       like Yu-Gi-Oh, really. You might draw an A card, but you can't
       play it, or it's not as efficacious, unless you also have some
       other card. And of course the weird thing is we have to shuffle
       our decks with each other before every game.
       Spades and hearts decks are not only different, but carefully
       balanced in the context of their respective suit. A of spades
       might only work in a spades deck, not in a hearts or a mixed
       spades/hearts deck.
       Were all our A's of the same suit (suggesting they predate
       ethnic divergence), 'shuffling suits' would pose less danger.
       Come to think of it, it'd still be a little dangerous since
       you're still radically restructuring the deck. Soo my real
       concern is: We're not racist, but genes probably are. Is it
       possible to totally ignore ethnicity in our Aryanization effort,
       or must be beware of outbreeding depression? Maybe the risk is
       compensated for by some sort of hybrid vigour, maybe reversing
       ethnic divergence de-adulterates the genome or something?

       "A of spades might only work in a spades deck, not in a hearts

       Might. So why not try it out and find out?
       "Is it possible to totally ignore ethnicity in our Aryanization
       effort, or must be beware of outbreeding depression?"
       We would not ignore ethnicity. Under state control over
       reproduction, we would keep records of the genetic background of
       the parents of every individual bred. In whatever way ethnicity
       may be consequential, we would quickly learn about it by
       studying patterns that emerge.
       As for bewaring, again we can simply prohibit from further
       reproduction any individuals who lack the heritable traits we
       are seeking.
       By the way, controlled outbreeding by farmers has consistently
       succeeded in collecting wanted traits in other species:

       If I'm understanding you correctly, Emily, are you suggesting
       that we Aryanize genetically by finding Aryan traits and
       verifiable genes that are Aryan typical or Aryan ideal from
       everyone regardless of ethnicity? Because I believe that is

       'Typical' is the important word here because my concern is that
       different populations, even if they're equally genetically Aryan
       with the same Aryan phenotype, might still have their own unique
       codependent set of Aryan genes. Like, you can breed a lion with
       a tiger, they might each be perfectly beautiful specimens, but
       they lack genetic compatibility, which in ligers results in a
       condition called growth dysplasia. In a mixed ethnicity
       individual there might be a more subtle 'bug', but when it comes
       to character I imagine subtle bugs can be devastating.
       But I'm inclined to think over the course of hominid evolution,
       Aryan genetics were lost more than they were acquired, since
       it's a story of us leaving our largely herbivorous lives in the
       jungle, to hunt and scavenge and branch into different
       ethnicties and cultures who'd war very brutally and intently.
       Our gender roles also diverged greatly during this phase. I
       doubt there was any noteworthy increase in empathy or idealism,
       quite the opposite, despite developing larger prefrontal
       cortexes, more gracile bodies and longer childhoods. Agriculture
       is what allowed Aryan character to shine, but there's no reason
       to think Aryans have surpassed the infancy of hominid evolution
       in sheer terms of character. For that reason I suspect our most
       fundamental Aryan genetics were more soiled than developed
       during ethnic evolution, and interethnic breeding could serve to
       cleanse the genome.

       I've recently learned that the human brain likely evolved
       through eating cooked starches, not animals, in which case maybe
       human evolution isn't fundamentally defined by a deeper descent
       into violence. Maybe agriculture wasn't necessary to be vegan
       but only made things easier for vegans.
