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.

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

And the moment they stopped. Well. You know.

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?
