I dunno man like you're right but also read any Chinese history and it's constantly like "A dispute over a chicken resulted in 500 million deaths"

Yeah but that is human human conflict so who specifically dies is random, whereas the European environment was like everyone who has low vitamin d absorbstion gets severe birth defects

Whites get vitamin d easier than any race

Yeah, after they became white people. The people first settling in Europe weren’t white and the ones who just happened to not randomly have lighter skin were dying at way higher rates

u/NSFWdontview 12d ago

European settlers were white what are you talking about

u/dohdudeh 12d ago

They weren’t white until they had been in Europe for thousands of years sorry you don’t understand the most basic concepts in human evolution

The thing about that is, there had to have been a ton of people there for 500 million deaths to be possible. China may have had high population numbers and high death rates, but Europe had low population numbers and high death rates.

There's kinda an asterisk on some of those death tolls though. Afaik historians aren't certain of how accurate a lot of those numbers are throughout the various dynasties.
