Can someone red pill me on genetics and eugenics?

Are they really expecting us to believe that humans have known how to domesticate animals for 10s of thousands of years, and yet it never dawned on us once that inheritance is an obvious pattern that can be exploited?

What if our entire population has been genetically selected by an ancient civilization or some strange bottle neck?

We don't have to completely understand in order to manipulate it. For example, if we attempted to fuck with the genome and create a super-smart human... we could end up with 100 Artists, or 10,000. But eventually we'd get it. The power that is at stake dwarfs WMDs. Intelligence is the supreme power. An IQ of 200 or more is as different from 95, as 95 is from a fucking Gorilla.

but those studies are performed with the prior knowledge of the kinds of traits we artificially selected for as well as DNA of the animals prior to domestication (e.g. the aurochs). if any kind of historical selective breeding of humans has occurred then it's likely of small scale and little relevance. there's no evidence to suggest historical eugenics of any significance.

We have prior knowledge that whites have blue eyes and everyone else doesn't. We have prior knowledge that blacks are closest to apes. We have prior knowledge that asians have small pps. There is an alternative answer for some of these features and people wouldn't want us to know that for various reasons. If it is documented in history, that will help red pill. If it is documented with statistical tools, that will help red pill too.

Is there any evidence of selective breeding in humans? We got a lot of shit skin manlets running around the arctic still, so I'm not entirely buying the varying conventional evolutionary explanations.

yes, the diversity of life on earth is enormous. but there is no implication that any of these traits have been artificially selected for
>There is an alternative answer for some of these features
yes, the prevalence of these traits could be the result of any number of evolutionary mechanisms. however, artificial selection is possibly the least likely. why jump straight to eugenics? it could be natural selection, or genetic drift, or simply the result of sexual selection and subsequent assortative mating.

I don't know what Yakub is. I suspect the vast majority of human features are a result of natural evolution. I think you're the one who is jumping straight to conclusions by eliminating the possibility for a eugenic prehistory and how small or large it could be.

It should be easy for a biologist to explain how the effects of eugenics would die out or what scale the operation would have to be to get lasting effects. This isn't a discussion of evolution anymore at that point.

you're the one that needs to look more into it, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about

>>76709510
yes, obviously they do
but white people carry the recessive gene even when their eyes are brown, and light eyes pop up in a pattern that we don't even nearly understand
>>
>>76709833
Yep, there are at least a dozen genes affecting eye color. Still, blue eyes is isolated to northern Europe. None of the North living people anywhere else got blue eyes like this.
>>
>>76710072
there are no two types of blue eyes, you either get the melanin gene activated or not, there is no special blue eye gene, every single nigger has blue eyes underneath

where the sun is weak, more people are born without melanin in their eyes, so the pattern is not exclusive

no one can explain why in fraternal twins, no matter the race, usually one will get all the melanin, other none

so no, they are not even nearly isolated to north, they are the most prevalent there, that's true

Indeed not everything I say is automatically true. But you are claiming that the gene for blue eyes is present in every white person which is an empty claim since a multitude of genes determine eye color. This, to me, shows you do not have a good understanding of how it works.

You say you have studied science, religion, history, etc. All I can say is that I don't know of any decent scientific theory put forth by someone by studying everything instead of specializing in one field. So instead of learning a few words and very basic concepts, you could actually specialize.

That's just my opinion and probably that of everyone in the scientific community.

A man can be an amazing swimmer, might even be the fastest in the world. But that does not make him a good philosopher, physicist, or evolutionary authority.

I'v met amazing humans who've done amazingly complex things, they are also ABSOLUTELY RETARDED in other fields of study/skill.

So yes. You are both retarded in this regards.
Just like I am a fucking awful basket ball player.

Have yourself a good night Mr.SloveniaGeniousComputerProgrammerOpinionMaster

It is called fucking Selective Breeding
Go look up Samoa for a case study

>But you are claiming that the gene for blue eyes is present in every white person
where? i'm saying that whites with brown eyes often carry the recessive gene(s) for blue eyes, and light eyes pop out in whites way more frequently than in other races, even with both brown eyed parents

brown eyes don't just cancel or overwrite the blue eyes, you can be a carrier even when those genes are not activated for you, and a majority of whites indeed are carriers, while the majority of non-whites aren't

>You say you have studied science, religion, history, etc. All I can say is that I don't know of any decent scientific theory put forth by someone by studying everything instead of specializing in one field.
scientific progress has happened even without specialization, by accident, lots of times
and whatever isn't peer-reviewed, doesn't even end up on your radar, so of course you didn't hear about it

>So instead of learning a few words and very basic concepts, you could actually specialize.
you have zero knowledge about how many words i learned and how basic are any of those concepts

>That's just my opinion and probably that of everyone in the scientific community.
your opinion is filtered by peer review, mine is not, doesn't make you or sc right and me wrong

>And Ben Carson is a brilliant surgeon. But surgeons aren't required to know anything about biochemistry or evolution.
yeah but they are entitled to their opinion, and he knows hell of a lot more about human body than you or me. and you're just blatantly saying he's retarded

i have to go now so don't expect any more answers, maybe if the thread is alive when i come back. cheers

12 minutes. You are slowing down. You'll be fired if you code at the rate you fucking type your retarded rhetoric.

Might as well alter the genetic makeup of an embryo to see some results.

It's pretty safe to guess they're below average, considering you're a balkan slavshit

Eugenics is inevitable whether you like it or not. It benefits humanity immensely and I garuntee you that the day it becomes affordable people will be lining up in droves.

Why continue breeding humans that are weak and fragile (us) when you can create a superhuman which is significantly smarter and stronger than their parents?

>actually study genetics

Eugenics is hard to create in principle because:
- everybody has about 7-9 lethal random mutations in their DNA, and expression of these is dependent on allele pairing (dominance vs recessive). Most of the time you have a functioning allele due to genetic diversity which overrides the lethality of mutation.
- bottlenecks and selection reduce variation in gene pools which can have adverse affects with the ability for spread of contagions and allow greater probability for harmful recessive problems to pop up (i.e. hemophilia)
- selection for particular genes in the short run may be adverse for the long run in if you don't have variation, or if pathogens evolve around your selection. Malaria is only a problem to humans because we evolved to not have the sugar it initially binds to -- which was great because we became immune for a while. However, the malaria eventually evolved to attach to another sugar, which ended up being worse for us (look up CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase)
- evolution does a good job of eugenics by itself, because survival of the 'fittest' is not the strongest or smartest, but whoever best fits in their environment. If 100,000 years ago all the biggest men decided to kill every weak one to create the 'best' then we might not have evolved the way we have.
- without GM you can't just put a sperm in egg and know the outcome, because of innumerable possible combination of genes.

anyway, all this is
