Biological Factors In Eurasia

An obvious conclusion is that the Spaniards’ guns, cavalry, and military organization, led to the Incan Emperor’s capture among his whole army by a tiny group of Spanish conquistadors. However, all these conquest factors are approximate and immediate, not ultimate nor fundamental. In other words, the beginning cause of Spanish development of these technologies and Pizarro’s conquest of Peru rather than the Incan explorers’ development of for example machine guns and Atahualpa’s small Incan gang capture of King Charles I in Spain is unclear and controversial. Most people believe that innate biological factors played a gigantic role in European dominance over the world. Still, the modern world not being totally ruled by Europe dismisses the idea
of predestined genetic superiority. In fact, modern biological theories prove less technologically developed societies to be more intelligent than stable superior societies. In the past, Europe achieved dominance of the world through blessings of the locally available wild plant, animals, and stable ecological conditions. However, throughout recent history, superiority tended to change in factors from being nature-based to being human-based and in definition from having the upper hand in military power to being the most inventive and effective in the world.
After the technological advances that arose in Australia and Native America within a century of their conquest by Europeans, people assumed Europeans to be innately more capable than Aboriginal Australians and Native Americans.
Despite publicly repudiating racism, most Europeans deep inside believe that their biological make up is superior to that of nations they conquered. However, biological studies proves the exact opposite. While the main causes of deaths in Eurasia’s stable technological societies were animals’ diseases resulted from dense coexistence of animals and humans, deaths in hunter-gatherers societies mainly occurred because of murders, warfare, accidents, and insufficiency of food. Hunter gatherers’ mortality reasons primarily depend on intelligence than on biological make up as in Eurasia. For this reason, the natural selection in hunter-gatherers’ societies is chiefly based on brain intelligence, while it is based on biological make up in Eurasia. Moreover, while children in advanced societies entertain themselves passively by watching television shows or movies, children entertainment tend to be mostly active in hunter gatherer societies like playing, talking, or even exploring surrounding environment. Studies of child development emphasize the role of activity in stimulating brain capabilities. Therefore, science proves hunter gatherers to be on average more intelligent than sedentary societies which dispels the idea of the superiority due to innate biological
capability.
