does anyone know about scholarly works addressing this point that Northern people were less tolerant to criminals and exterminated them to a level where it changed social dynamics? it's a fascinating point, I would like to learn more about it
I'll admit I based this assertion on essays I read by Will Tanner at the American Tribune here on Substack. I haven't read the scholarly work on it.
However, the twin studies I reference show strong heritability of these traits, which would lead one to reasonably infer that an aggressive penal policy would tend to reduce those behaviors over time.
I came across this from some AI searches: Cochran & Harpending’s The 10,000 Year Explosion. the theory is called "genetic pacification" repeated execution of violent offenders in medieval and early-modern Europe could have shifted the population toward less aggressive behavior over generations. Even Pinker flirts with this notion in The Better Angels of Our Nature, but Cochran & Harpending go all in on the mechanism..
Another banger from my Lord
Well done.
Thank you!
boomers are enemy of the people!
I prefer the Novus Ordo and love me some Vatican 2. You should submit this article to crisis. I enjoyed reading it. God bless!!
Vehemently disagree on V2 and the NO, obviously. Thank you though.
