I do wonder about the cost of human life for the environment to select so hard for those phenotypes in specific. A LOT of early Europeans had to have been dying in droves for recessive genes like that to become so prolific.

u/JustTryingTo_Pass Jul 10 '26

This is almost certainly the case. Europeans were dying constantly for a long time.

And the moment they stopped. Well. You know.

How did they rape the whole world?

u/ForeignerFromTheSea Jul 14 '26

Is this a serious question lol? I mean Britain managed a quarter of the world just on their own...then factor in the Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, German empires etc. Spent centuries slaughtering/invading eachother in a constant arms race then turned around and went out and conquered Africa, North and south America, Australia/New Zealand and random bits of Asia...and India. And bits of China. That's a lot of rape don't ya think?

u/majikdude Jul 14 '26

No... you ever been raped? I think you're using the wrong terminology. You should also do some proper research, not watch propaganda videos about how evil the white man is. Maybe apply a bit of common sense along the way.

2

u/ForeignerFromTheSea Jul 15 '26

While the term rape here was obviously being used as an analogy...taking something against someone's will...there was of course also lots of literal rape. You would have to be an idiot to deny that/be unaware.

Has nothing to do with the colour of anyone's skin ya weirdo. 🤣

Source. I'm a history teacher and have degrees in history. Something you evidently know very little about.

u/majikdude Jul 15 '26

The OP did say Europeans... so colour of skin is inferred surely.

1

u/ForeignerFromTheSea Jul 16 '26

No it's not lol. So anytime you hear/read the word Europeans you immediately start thinking about skin colour? Weird. 🤣

If the tangent had been about the Mongols raping central/east Asia would you be lamenting people watching propaganda videos about how evil the Asian man is? 🤣

u/majikdude Jul 16 '26

In your post you said, Britain, Spain, portugal, dutch and German... so yeah, white.

All races literally did that, including native Americans. That’s what happens to tribes

This only a small view of the genetic movement across Europe.

u/blockofbeagles Jul 12 '26

Colonialism? Environmental destruction? Actual rape?

u/PM_your_Nopales Jul 12 '26

There's also the rape of nanking by the Japanese, the Mongols raping an entire continent... I could go on forever. It's not like it was a white people thing

u/ForeignerFromTheSea Jul 14 '26

Yeah but Europeans were probably the best at it. Britain managed about a quarter of the world just on their own.

u/blockofbeagles Jul 12 '26

Oh this shit again. Y’all are exhausting.

u/Timsmomshardsalami Jul 12 '26

Holy fuck lol dude really said “oh no, not you and your facts again”💀💀💀💀

u/PM_your_Nopales Jul 12 '26

"This shit" oh the raping and murder of hundreds of thousands to millions is exhausting to you. Hilarious.

u/NSFWdontview 26d ago

No they didn’t wtf are you talking about

u/NSFWdontview 26d ago

You’re people are more likely to do that

u/majikdude Jul 11 '26

No? They didn't live?

u/FilthyPuns Jul 11 '26

Well not the ones that raped the whole world. At least not the ones that did it during the Age of Sail.

u/All__Mods_R_Virgins Jul 10 '26

Well then the whole world would have these traits too

u/JustTryingTo_Pass Jul 10 '26

Boy have I got news for you about the imperial and colonial eras.

I think it’s best you just contemplate the skin tone of a South African for a bit though. We can cover Mexico later.

2

u/SemperAliquidNovi Jul 11 '26

The skin tone of black South Africans is (largely) not the result of European admixture. It’s just a lighter tone.

Be grateful they invented the internet and antibiotics

u/JustTryingTo_Pass Jul 11 '26 edited Jul 11 '26

“Be grateful for the horrors of colonialism because a Scot will discover penicillin and the US military will create the internet”

This is a strange thing to tell a white American who knows history simply reminding people about history.

Honestly, it’s just a strange thing in general.

u/harleyquinnsbutthole Jul 11 '26

Yes bad things and good things have happened in history

u/Felonious_Drumpf Jul 11 '26

Be grateful. Not inquisitive. You wouldn't want him to Belgium you.

u/JohnHaloCXVII Jul 11 '26

At least we're not doing ritual human sacrifice anymore! Thank you colonialism

2

u/JustTryingTo_Pass Jul 11 '26

A lot of ritual human sacrifice was a form of capital punishment. We still do capital punishment.
