Someone needs to to send it to all of the wacky blacks who advocate the theory that melanin is a magical substance which is the basis of empathy, compassion, etc.
We have found, in both human and non-human animals, that darker pigmentation is associated with higher levels of aggression and sexuality (and in humans with lower IQ). Lighter pigmentation is associated with the slow reproductive strategy (K) including lower birth rates, less infant mortality, less violent crime, less HIV/AIDS, plus higher IQ, higher income, and greater longevity.
The correlations between human pigmentation, aggression, and sexuality (and IQ), is further supported by the anthropological and sociological research on ‘‘pigmentocracies’’ (Lynn & Vanhanen, 2006).
As far as I know (not an evolutionary biologist), life history theory is used to understand behavioral and other adaptive changes between species. That's telling that they are applying it within subgroups of homo sapiens.
If you look at what Watson was saying a couple years ago, it was basically this shit. Not the subspecies stuff specifically but the pleiotropism, fat, horny, happy and tan. This is the stuff that got him cancelled.
I remember being blown away by this. I wanted to say: do you fucking know who you are cancelling? The party of science....(hard sigh).
It's religious territory in science today. Tragic. The irony is that these are the same individuals who want to dwell on how much conservative values are holding science back. B-b-b-but if we just had more fetal stem cells, we'd be immortals!
