> Modern races were formed by isolation and
adaptation to local conditions,
the most powerful of which is climate. Intellectual adaptations
that allowed
early humans to survive long, cold ice-age winters were vastly
different
from those sufficient to sustain existence in a tropical climate,
rich with
year-round nourishment. These adaptations appear not only in
external
physical differences but in dramatically different IQ profiles,
and in
traits such as foresight, altruism, mating fidelity, anxiety,
diligence,
thriftiness, etc.
>
> Philippe Rushton has used life history theory to explain
such adaptations
(see full treatment of this theory in AR, Dec. 1994). Citing
Edward O.
Wilson, the father of sociobiology, he explains:
>
> "Evolutionary biologists assume that each species (or
subspecies, such as
a race) has evolved a characteristic life history adapted to the
particular
ecological problems encountered by its ancestors. A life history
is a
genetically organized suite of characteristics that evolved in a
coordinated
manner so as to allocate energy to survival, growth, and
reproduction. These
strategies may be organized on a scale.
>
> "At one end are 'r-strategies' that emphasize gamete
production, mating
behavior, and high reproductive rates and, at the other,
'K-strategies' that
emphasize high levels of parental care, resource acquisition, kin
provisioning, and social complexity. The K-strategy requires more
complex
nervous systems and larger brains . . . . [A]rchaic versions of
what were to
become the modern Caucasoid and Mongoloid peoples dispersed out
of Africa
about 100,000 years ago and adapted to the problem of survival in
predictably cold environments. This evolutionary process required
a
bioenergetic tradeoff that increased brain size and parenting
behavior ('K')
at the expense of egg production and sexual behavior ('r')."
>
> Edward Miller has proposed a concept called paternal
investment theory. He
suggests that "in cold climates males were selected for
provisioning, rather
than for mating success. In warm climates, where female gathering
made male
provisioning unessential, selection was for mating success.
Male-hunted meat
was essential [in cold climates] for female winter survival.
Genes that
encouraged mating success were selected for in warm climates.
Negroes
(blacks) evolved in warm climates, while Caucasians (whites) and
Mongoloids
(Asians) evolved in colder climates. Mating is assisted by a
strong sex
drive, aggression, dominance, sociability, extroversion,
impulsiveness,
sensation seeking, and high testosterone. Provisioning is
assisted by
anxiety, altruism, empathy, behavioral restraint, gratification
delay, and a
long life span."

Explanations are
offered for racial differences in many personality
characteristics, hormone
levels, monamine oxidase levels, testosterone levels, lactase
dehydrogenase
metabolic paths, life spans, prostate cancer rates, hypertension,
genital
(penis and testes) size, vocal frequencies, liver size, muscle
structure,
mesomorphy, bone density, sports performance, crime rates, rape,
child
abuse, earnings, age at first sexual activity, AIDs,
illegitimacy, divorce,
marriage, and polygyny rates. Eye color correlations are
discussed. Negro
family structure in the Caribbean and the U.S. may reflect
selection in
Africa during hunter-gather times. Comparison is made with
differential K
theory and father absence theories.
