I reviewed the first 18 links, and I thought this was an excellent list, and then I encountered two of my own articles, and I realized it was the best list.
Great list, and I’m honored to have not just one, but two entries on it! Although I ought to clarify that Southern Europeans don’t have “Turkic” ancestry, they have ancestry from modern-day Turkey that predates the Turkic invasions. Technically all Europeans do, actually, but this group itself was derived mostly from a population very similar to Europe’s indigenous Hunter gatherers. Southern Europeans do have some ancestry from later near eastern migrations as well, namely during Roman times, but the main point of the post was that both Southern Europeans and these prehistoric “Anatolian Neolithic Farmers” are closer to various Northern Europeans than to really any other populations of the Mediterranean outside of Europe. Making any notion of a trans-med race untenable (unless that race is just the entire “West Eurasian”/Caucasoid race)
Good article on the Mediterranean race. However, one question I was left is where do the Portuguese, Albanians, and south slavs fall? I’d assume the former 2 ethnic groups fall near the Italian/Spaniard/Greek cluster but I haven’t found much info regarding that.
South Slavs are kind of like northern and central Italians in terms of “northerliness” but with Balto-Slavic drift. Paleo-Balkan populations were genetically very similar to Italic tribes, modern Balkaners are that + Roman-era Aegean migration + Slavic. Pretty much all Balkaners even the non-Slavic ones have sizeable Slav ancestry. Albanians are genetically similar to Northern Greeks. Still have Slavic ancestry but probably less than Yugoslavs and Bulgarians. Portuguese people are basically Spaniards with a bit more Nafri ancestry. Nafri ancestry in Iberia follows an east-west pattern, not as much a north-south pattern as you might expect, so Galician Spaniards have more than Andalusians.
Fellow WBE reader 🤝While I agree looks and height don't predict long-term relationship success particularly well, they are still monumentally important due to predicting the size of your dating pool and thus allow for both greater quality and quantity of mates (not sure if you'd even disagree).
I'm not impressed with Werner's Wokism essay. His core reasoning is quite flawed (as Cofnas explained in his response), and I don't believe he accurately described why Wokism came to be. The few good things that Werner did point out (e.g. the growing population of ethnic minorities) were already mentioned on my Wokism webpage. https://zerocontradictions.net/civilization/wokism
Couldn,t agree more with The politics of hereditarianism, by Spandrell . On Human Nature, by EO wilson won Pulitzer Prize for best Non-Fiction in the year of lord 1979 , which contains much of HBD ideas and germs .
>I repeatedly fail to understand what it is about WBE's writing that gets praised so much
It's kind of like reading a thriller about a serial killer or a political conflict, but a guy running around with women. If it is real, it's impressively introspective, if it is fake, it is impressively creative.
