Cross breeding between human populations is a tremendous
force for harm.
People tend to resemble their parents. Much of this, including behavior, is genetic. The logic of what follows also applies to learned behavior.
Evolution is the process of inheritable variation followed by differential survival and reproduction resulting in a change on average in what is inherited.
When two populations that are genetically different cross breed, the first generation is frequently better in some ways because of "hybrid vigor." However, the second generation tends to be reduced in number because of hybrid infertility. This is a general principle across animal and plant kingdoms.
Humans are relatively infertile compared to most other animals. Humans should be expected to be very vulnerable to hybrid infertility.
People live in societies. Failure to reproduce can be caused by poor genes, bad environment, accident or choice. Society tends to provide a good environment and to reduce the number of disastrous human accidents and choices. Humans would be expected to be exquisitely sensitive to evolutionary pressure.
Human populations consist of individuals who vary in many respects. Some humans are more distrustful of people who are different than are others. When two human populations come into contact, there is a tendency for cross breeding. Those people in a population who cross breed are those who are less distrustful of differences.
When two populations come into contact, those who are less distrustful of differences will tend to have fewer grandchildren. Over time, and lacking an understanding of the process, any two populations that differ but remain in contact will become more and more mutually distrustful and thus more suspicious of anything that seems strange or foreign.
Bigotry, intolerance, homosexuality, homophobia, misogyny, war, class tensions, racial tensions and violence and treachery between groups are to be expected to increase so long as there is interbreeding. It is not necessary to invoke a devil, original sin, economic injustice, class injustice, lust to power and sex as distinct from nurturing and love, unconscious motivations, racial inferiority or national character to account for evil. There is no evolutionary pressure for them to come into existence, but they may all be expressions of mistrust of that which is strange.
There is a tremendous opportunity for good in the world if this process is understood and obvious mistakes avoided.

Cross Breeding Causes Wars
Cross breeding between human populations is a tremendous force for harm.
1. People tend to resemble their parents.
2. Much of this, including behavior, is genetic. Some is cultural. For what follows, it makes little difference.
3. When two populations that are genetically different cross breed, the first generation is frequently better in some ways because of "hybrid vigor." However, the second generation tends to be reduced in number because of hybrid infertility. This is a general principle across animal and plant kingdoms.
4. Humans are relatively infertile compared to most other animals.
5. All of these points so far are incontrovertible scientific fact.
6. Humans should be expected to be very vulnerable to hybrid infertility. This point is not well established scientific fact, but is an inescapable result of points 1 through 4.
7. Evolution is the process of inheritable variation followed by differential survival and reproduction resulting in a change on average in what is inherited.
8. People live in societies.
9. Failure to reproduce can be caused by poor genes, bad environment, accident or choice.
10. Society tends to provide a good environment and to reduce the number of disastrous human accidents and choices.
11. Points 7 through 10 are incontrovertible.
12. Humans would be expected to be exquisitely sensitive to evolutionary pressure. This is not proven scientific fact but is inescapable because of points 7 through 10.
13. Human populations consist of individuals who vary in many respects.
14. Some humans are more distrustful of people who are different than are others.
15. When two human populations come into contact, there is a tendency for cross breeding.
16. Points 13 through 15 are incontrovertible.
17. Those people in a population who cross breed are those who are less distrustful of differences. This is not incontrovertible, but seems inescapable.
18. When two populations come into contact, those who are less distrustful of differences will tend to have fewer grandchildren. This follows from points 12 and 17.
19. Over time, and lacking an understanding of the process, any two populations that differ but remain in contact will become more and more mutually distrustful and thus more suspicious of anything that seems strange or foreign. This follows from points 7 and 18.
20. Bigotry, intolerance, homosexuality, homophobia, misogyny, war, class tensions, racial tensions and violence and treachery between groups are to be expected to increase so long as there is interbreeding. This follows from 19.
21. It is not necessary to invoke a devil, original sin, economic injustice, class injustice, lust to power and sex as distinct from nurturing and love, unconscious motivations, racial inferiority or national character to account for evil. There is no evolutionary pressure for them to come into existence, but they may all be expressions of 19.
22. There is, however, one factor in the past that has produced an urge toward cross breeding.
23. There are people with blood type Rh positive and those with Rh negative.
24. When an Rh positive male mates with an Rh negative woman, their first child or two may be all right, but subsequent children may die. This has been true for tens of thousands of years, ceasing to be true only in affluent societies in the last few decades.
25. Also, until the last few decades any society needed a large number of children in order for there to be sufficient adults to maintain the population.
26. A pregnancy places more demands of a woman's health than a man's health.
27. Points 23 through 26 are incontrovertible.
28. Historically, a woman faced a serious threat to her health if she were Rh negative, married to an Rh positive man and she tried to fulfil the community expectations of an adequate number of children. This follows inescapable from points 24 through 26.
29. Although the dying fetus (because of details of the cause of the disease) takes away one Rh positive and one negative gene, the death of the mother reduces the incidence of Rh negative in the population. This is a tautology.
30. An Rh positive population can benefit in numbers and area controlled by peacefully killing the fertile females of an Rh negative population. This fellows from point 25.
31. Rh positive men have been under evolutionary pressure to seek out Rh negative women as mates. This follows from 12 and 30.
32. Rh positive men still have a tendency to be drawn initially to women who look and act other than like Rh positive women have in the past. This is because of points 24, second sentence, and 31.
33. Rh positive men and women are far the majority in every population.
34. A large proportion of men are drawn to women who look other than Rh positive. This follows from 32 and 33.
35. Rh positive men have been under selective pressure eventually to lose interest in wives who do not resemble themselves. This follows from 25, 26 and 28.
36. Rh positive men have a strong tendency to lose interest in their non-Rh positive looking wives after a time, despite initial enthusiasm. This follows from 12 and 35.
37. Many men have a tendency to lose interest in their wives. This follows from 33 and 36.
38. Despite point 36, many men will still seek out a woman of a certain appearance, even if is not his own appearance. This establishes point 22, that there is a cause for and urge to cross breed in spite of the damage it does.
39. When two populations are in contact, the more they cross breed, the greater the mutual hostility they will ultimately develop. This follows from points 18 and 19.
40. Human cross breeding is a tremendous force for harm. This follows from 38 and 39.
41. Any small population long isolated must eventually become either all Rh positive or all Rh negative. This is an inescapable result of the way Rh incompatibility works.
42. Every population in the world has both Rh positive and Rh negative genes. This is a well established observation.
43. Every population until the latter half of this century his suffered terribly from Rh incompatibility. This follows from 42 and from the fact that the disease has only recently been understood.
44. Every population in the world is a mixture of previous populations. This follows from 41 and 42.
45. Two populations can cross breed and survive. This follows from 43.
46. Every population has suffered terribly from doing so. This follows from 41 and 43.
47. Despite point 44, point 40 may well be capable of destroying all of human kind. Witness point 46.
48. I do not suggest this is a matter of race. Races, to the extent that they are rational categories at all, are separated by tens of thousands of years. I would look to effects between populations separated by centuries to thousands of years.
49. I can defend the time scale and give examples of both hybrid infertility and the resulting hostilities.
50. There is a tremendous opportunity for good in the world if this process is understood and obvious mistakes avoided.
