    with proper respect, of course.I like to try to deduce how ancient social phenomenon evolved to the present, and often I like to do the reverse. In this case it's the latter.Starting with the assumption that humans everywhere, all races/ethnicities, tend
    to want to associate with others of their type in preference over associating with others of differing race/ethnicity, I'd like to determine how/why this came to be, *as an evolutionary function*. I think it's easily demonstrable that there are
    exceptions to this general tendency, but by default, one wants to associate with like kind. In my observation, the rule holds for at least 90% of any given group.I'd also postulate that some races/groups are more prone to like-kind association that other
    groups, but in general, like-kind applies to all discreet groups, everywhere, and throughout time.So how did this come to be?I'd suspect that in early primate prehistory, social groupings were relatively small. Extended family groups, with some level of
    blood relationship. Periodically, surplus young adult males were driven from the group by the dominant males. These surplus males would tend to be the more aggressive males, with the lesser males subservient to the authority of the dominant male and his
    clique. Now and then the dominant male would falter, and either be killed or driven from the group, to be replaced by either one of the young aggressive males, or perhaps one of the clique. Basically that would be the end of the road for the former
    dominant male.So relatively physically capable young males were driven to the periphery, and they often banded together for mutual protection/survival. These were "stag" bands, with no females: likely some level of mutual sexual gratification was
    practiced. These bands might approach another group (or their former group) and try to either defeat the dominant male and his clique, or more likely, simply steal females for mating purposes.So it would seem to me that deeply within human instinct is
    the unease/rejection of outsider, males especially. From pre-human times there was nothing but bad news to come from groups of outsiders.This *tendency*, attenuated somewhat as surpluses of all kinds became more routine, began to weaken as the surpluses
    reduced survival pressure to maintain the social status quo. The comestible surpluses could support both "surplus" males and females, to a degree, making for less degree of blood relationship. But still the individuals of the groups were more closely
    related to each other by custom, means of communication, hunter-gatherer techniques--essentially clans--than any outsider would be--who ostensibly came from his/her own social grouping.A that point two mitigating motivations began to manifest themselves:
    trade and intermarriage--which often was a form of trade.I'd guess that after a certain point, two separate groups, whose social strength was close to equal, thus discouraging open warfare, might encounter each other and size each other up with minimal
    contact. In one or the other of the groups, or maybe in both, perceptive and intelligent individuals might perceive that members of the other group had material goods that seemed of value, and since open warfare was impractical, and individual theft was
    risky, these perceptive individuals proposed to exchange material items with the other group.Maybe the perceptive individuals might be thought of as "proto-Jews"... ;^)This was the beginnings of trade.Now this same evaluation of each tribe's material
    goods would also include individuals. But trading for a fully functional and unattached male was nothing but trouble, for both sides, nor was an extra male usually needed by a group, but there could never be enough mating aged females, so this was the
    beginning of intermarriage/interbreeding.So I'm saying that today's tendency for humans to want to associate with others who appear to be very similar to themselves stems from these early interactions between separate human social groups. It was risky to
    interact, and it was most comfortable when limited to exchange, and not necessarily to social gatherings for celebration ("party down!") since customs/communication were uncomfortably strange. This instinct still stays with us, and any outside attempt to
    enforce mixed association is basically pissing against a headwind.Your thoughts on this, skript?


    I guess you described it near perfectly, explaining the evolutionary mechanism.

    But what now?

    It is what it is, e.g. you said 90% of folks want to stay around their own kind, yet even my modest proposals, that we split it as if the groups are even, 50-50, is met with disapproval. Weird, ha?

    with proper respect, of course.I like to try to deduce how ancient social phenomenon evolved to the present, and often I like to do the reverse. In this case it's the latter.Starting with the assumption that humans everywhere, all races/ethnicities, tend
    to want to associate with others of their type in preference over associating with others of differing race/ethnicity, I'd like to determine how/why this came to be, *as an evolutionary function*. I think it's easily demonstrable that there are
    exceptions to this general tendency, but by default, one wants to associate with like kind. In my observation, the rule holds for at least 90% of any given group.I'd also postulate that some races/groups are more prone to like-kind association that other
    groups, but in general, like-kind applies to all discreet groups, everywhere, and throughout time.So how did this come to be?I'd suspect that in early primate prehistory, social groupings were relatively small. Extended family groups, with some level of
    blood relationship. Periodically, surplus young adult males were driven from the group by the dominant males. These surplus males would tend to be the more aggressive males, with the lesser males subservient to the authority of the dominant male and his
    clique. Now and then the dominant male would falter, and either be killed or driven from the group, to be replaced by either one of the young aggressive males, or perhaps one of the clique. Basically that would be the end of the road for the former
    dominant male.So relatively physically capable young males were driven to the periphery, and they often banded together for mutual protection/survival. These were "stag" bands, with no females: likely some level of mutual sexual gratification was
    practiced. These bands might approach another group (or their former group) and try to either defeat the dominant male and his clique, or more likely, simply steal females for mating purposes.So it would seem to me that deeply within human instinct is
    the unease/rejection of outsider, males especially. From pre-human times there was nothing but bad news to come from groups of outsiders.This *tendency*, attenuated somewhat as surpluses of all kinds became more routine, began to weaken as the surpluses
    reduced survival pressure to maintain the social status quo. The comestible surpluses could support both "surplus" males and females, to a degree, making for less degree of blood relationship. But still the individuals of the groups were more closely
    related to each other by custom, means of communication, hunter-gatherer techniques--essentially clans--than any outsider would be--who ostensibly came from his/her own social grouping.A that point two mitigating motivations began to manifest themselves:
    trade and intermarriage--which often was a form of trade.I'd guess that after a certain point, two separate groups, whose social strength was close to equal, thus discouraging open warfare, might encounter each other and size each other up with minimal
    contact. In one or the other of the groups, or maybe in both, perceptive and intelligent individuals might perceive that members of the other group had material goods that seemed of value, and since open warfare was impractical, and individual theft was
    risky, these perceptive individuals proposed to exchange material items with the other group.Maybe the perceptive individuals might be thought of as "proto-Jews"... ;^)This was the beginnings of trade.Now this same evaluation of each tribe's material
    goods would also include individuals. But trading for a fully functional and unattached male was nothing but trouble, for both sides, nor was an extra male usually needed by a group, but there could never be enough mating aged females, so this was the
    beginning of intermarriage/interbreeding.So I'm saying that today's tendency for humans to want to associate with others who appear to be very similar to themselves stems from these early interactions between separate human social groups. It was risky to
    interact, and it was most comfortable when limited to exchange, and not necessarily to social gatherings for celebration ("party down!") since customs/communication were uncomfortably strange. This instinct still stays with us, and any outside attempt to
    enforce mixed association is basically pissing against a headwind.Your thoughts on this, skript?

    I guess you described it near perfectly, explaining the evolutionary mechanism.

    But what now?

    It is what it is, e.g. you said 90% of folks want to stay around their own kind, yet even my modest proposals, that we split it as if the groups are even, 50-50, is met with disapproval. Weird, ha?



    Yes, weird.

    I tend to see it as a phenomenon of the changing evolutionary
    environment. That said, it looks like my genes are likely to die out as unfit for the present extreme cosmopolitan environment; I can't tell yet if/how this is carried by my daughter. This means either I've got to
    change my own *INSTINCTUAL* response (you can fake it, but the stress remains back there, sublimated), or else there'd have to be an extremely forceful realignment of the evolutionary environment, something like a
    race war, with enforced separation.

    As an interesting aside, so far as finding a suitable reproductive mate, this natural aversion does not apply broadly. If it applies (and I think
    it does) it's kinda narrow. So finding a sexually attractive female of another race trumps the pervasive instinct to stick to one's on phenotype.

    In a way, it works like finding a female of your own type who is *not* suitable, so far as you are concerned: you will routinely see
    reproductive females of your own group who inspire little to no desire
    to mate. This sexual thing seems to work along a different axis from
    general desire to associate with one's own group.

    Does this even make any sense? :^)

    Sure, but what's the big deal? Some like their mates to share skin color/ethnicity/hair color/music tastes, whatever. Each to his/her own.

    reservations, but I've changed my mind.>> They're neither natives, nor winners.>>>>I would like to explore one aspect of your position, skript. I will do so with proper respect, of course.I like to try to deduce how ancient social phenomenon evolved to
    the present, and often I like to do the reverse. In this case it's the latter.Starting with the assumption that humans everywhere, all races/ethnicities, tend to want to associate with others of their type in preference over associating with others of
    differing race/ethnicity, I'd like to determine how/why this came to be, *as an evolutionary function*. I think it's easily demonstrable that there are exceptions to this general tendency, but by default, one wants to associate with like kind. In my
    observation, the rule holds for at least 90% of any given group.I'd also postulate that some races/groups are more prone to like-kind association that other groups, but in general, like-kind applies to all discreet groups, everywhere, and throughout time.
    So how did this come to be?I'd suspect that in early primate prehistory, social groupings were relatively small. Extended family groups, with some level of blood relationship. Periodically, surplus young adult males were driven from the group by the
    dominant males. These surplus males would tend to be the more aggressive males, with the lesser males subservient to the authority of the dominant male and his clique. Now and then the dominant male would falter, and either be killed or driven from the
    group, to be replaced by either one of the young aggressive males, or perhaps one of the clique. Basically that would be the end of the road for the former dominant male.So relatively physically capable young males were driven to the periphery, and they
    often banded together for mutual protection/survival. These were "stag" bands, with no females: likely some level of mutual sexual gratification was practiced. These bands might approach another group (or their former group) and try to either defeat the
    dominant male and his clique, or more likely, simply steal females for mating purposes.So it would seem to me that deeply within human instinct is the unease/rejection of outsider, males especially. From pre-human times there was nothing but bad news to
    come from groups of outsiders.This *tendency*, attenuated somewhat as surpluses of all kinds became more routine, began to weaken as the surpluses reduced survival pressure to maintain the social status quo. The comestible surpluses could support both "
    surplus" males and females, to a degree, making for less degree of blood relationship. But still the individuals of the groups were more closely related to each other by custom, means of communication, hunter-gatherer techniques--essentially clans--than
    any outsider would be--who ostensibly came from his/her own social grouping.A that point two mitigating motivations began to manifest themselves: trade and intermarriage--which often was a form of trade.I'd guess that after a certain point, two separate
    groups, whose social strength was close to equal, thus discouraging open warfare, might encounter each other and size each other up with minimal contact. In one or the other of the groups, or maybe in both, perceptive and intelligent individuals might
    perceive that members of the other group had material goods that seemed of value, and since open warfare was impractical, and individual theft was risky, these perceptive individuals proposed to exchange material items with the other group.Maybe the
    perceptive individuals might be thought of as "proto-Jews"... ;^)This was the beginnings of trade.Now this same evaluation of each tribe's material goods would also include individuals. But trading for a fully functional and unattached male was nothing
    but trouble, for both sides, nor was an extra male usually needed by a group, but there could never be enough mating aged females, so this was the beginning of intermarriage/interbreeding.So I'm saying that today's tendency for humans to want to
    associate with others who appear to be very similar to themselves stems from these early interactions between separate human social groups. It was risky to interact, and it was most comfortable when limited to exchange, and not necessarily to social
    gatherings for celebration ("party down!") since customs/communication were uncomfortably strange. This instinct still stays with us, and any outside attempt to enforce mixed association is basically pissing against a headwind.Your thoughts on this,

    I will do so with proper respect, of course.I like to try to deduce how ancient social phenomenon evolved to the present, and often I like to do the reverse. In this case it's the latter.Starting with the assumption that humans everywhere, all races/
    ethnicities, tend to want to associate with others of their type in preference over associating with others of differing race/ethnicity, I'd like to determine how/why this came to be, *as an evolutionary function*. I think it's easily demonstrable that
    there are exceptions to this general tendency, but by default, one wants to associate with like kind. In my observation, the rule holds for at least 90% of any given group.I'd also postulate that some races/groups are more prone to like-kind association
    that other groups, but in general, like-kind applies to all discreet groups, everywhere, and throughout time.So how did this come to be?I'd suspect that in early primate prehistory, social groupings were relatively small. Extended family groups, with
    some level of blood relationship. Periodically, surplus young adult males were driven from the group by the dominant males. These surplus males would tend to be the more aggressive males, with the lesser males subservient to the authority of the dominant
    male and his clique. Now and then the dominant male would falter, and either be killed or driven from the group, to be replaced by either one of the young aggressive males, or perhaps one of the clique. Basically that would be the end of the road for the
    former dominant male.So relatively physically capable young males were driven to the periphery, and they often banded together for mutual protection/survival. These were "stag" bands, with no females: likely some level of mutual sexual gratification was
    practiced. These bands might approach another group (or their former group) and try to either defeat the dominant male and his clique, or more likely, simply steal females for mating purposes.So it would seem to me that deeply within human instinct is
    the unease/rejection of outsider, males especially. From pre-human times there was nothing but bad news to come from groups of outsiders.This *tendency*, attenuated somewhat as surpluses of all kinds became more routine, began to weaken as the surpluses
    reduced survival pressure to maintain the social status quo. The comestible surpluses could support both "surplus" males and females, to a degree, making for less degree of blood relationship. But still the individuals of the groups were more closely
    related to each other by custom, means of communication, hunter-gatherer techniques--essentially clans--than any outsider would be--who ostensibly came from his/her own social grouping.A that point two mitigating motivations began to manifest themselves:
    trade and intermarriage--which often was a form of trade.I'd guess that after a certain point, two separate groups, whose social strength was close to equal, thus discouraging open warfare, might encounter each other and size each other up with minimal
    contact. In one or the other of the groups, or maybe in both, perceptive and intelligent individuals might perceive that members of the other group had material goods that seemed of value, and since open warfare was impractical, and individual theft was
    risky, these perceptive individuals proposed to exchange material items with the other group.Maybe the perceptive individuals might be thought of as "proto-Jews"... ;^)This was the beginnings of trade.Now this same evaluation of each tribe's material
    goods would also include individuals. But trading for a fully functional and unattached male was nothing but trouble, for both sides, nor was an extra male usually needed by a group, but there could never be enough mating aged females, so this was the
    beginning of intermarriage/interbreeding.So I'm saying that today's tendency for humans to want to associate with others who appear to be very similar to themselves stems from these early interactions between separate human social groups. It was risky to
    interact, and it was most comfortable when limited to exchange, and not necessarily to social gatherings for celebration ("party down!") since customs/communication were uncomfortably strange. This instinct still stays with us, and any outside attempt to
    enforce mixed association is basically pissing against a headwind.Your thoughts on this, skript?
    I guess you described it near perfectly, explaining the evolutionary mechanism.

    But what now?

    It is what it is, e.g. you said 90% of folks want to stay around their own kind, yet even my modest proposals, that we split it as if the groups are even, 50-50, is met with disapproval. Weird, ha?



    Yes, weird.

    I tend to see it as a phenomenon of the changing evolutionary
    environment. That said, it looks like my genes are likely to die out as >> unfit for the present extreme cosmopolitan environment; I can't tell yet >> if/how this is carried by my daughter. This means either I've got to
    change my own *INSTINCTUAL* response (you can fake it, but the stress
    remains back there, sublimated), or else there'd have to be an extremely >> forceful realignment of the evolutionary environment, something like a
    race war, with enforced separation.

    As an interesting aside, so far as finding a suitable reproductive mate, >> this natural aversion does not apply broadly. If it applies (and I think >> it does) it's kinda narrow. So finding a sexually attractive female of
    another race trumps the pervasive instinct to stick to one's on phenotype.

    In a way, it works like finding a female of your own type who is *not*
    suitable, so far as you are concerned: you will routinely see
    reproductive females of your own group who inspire little to no desire
    to mate. This sexual thing seems to work along a different axis from
    general desire to associate with one's own group.

    Does this even make any sense? :^)
    Sure, but what's the big deal? Some like their mates to share skin color/ethnicity/hair color/music tastes, whatever. Each to his/her own.
    That's fine, b; I understand your point and it's valid *per individual*.

    But what I'm after is out of any given discreet grouping, *what
    percentage is x*, where "x" is a behavior, a talent, a preference? I'm looking at trends, because trends indicate the general direction of the evolution of the group, socially, physically, whatever.

    This interests me a lot. It answers questions that I have that beg answers--if plausible and convincing.

    You'll recall, too, that I'm in a interracial marriage with a bi-racial
    kid. I'm not looking for "is this good/bad?", but more why is it that
    many whom I've encountered do not seem to be attracted to any potential
    mate of another phenotype. It's more than "well, it's their upbringing". That might account for some of it.

    But my best friend from college and beyond, until he died a while back, was--how can I put it?--a hardened LA womanizer from college to age 46,
    when he finally married for the first time. He was extremely eclectic in
    his tastes, but for reasons not apparent, he was quite ambivalent about Asian females who, to me, looked very desirable.

    ...and looking inside myself, I see a similar response to sub-Saharan
    women. I can *see* a certain beauty in some, but I have no real
    interest. And yet I've seen very dark Indian women who were extremely attractive to me. Skin color is not the principal criterion.

    I have some ideas about why this is so, in my case, and I suspect that something similar operates in many others of various phenotypes *as a general trend*. There are individual exceptions and these exceptions can
    be characterized as of varying strengths among such individuals.

    I think that it's best characterized as what do you find *repellent*
    traits in those of a different phenotype, rather than "what do you find attractive". I think that's the principal determinant.

    I like intellect. Conversely, I am repelled by stupidity.

    I will do so with proper respect, of course.I like to try to deduce how ancient social phenomenon evolved to the present, and often I like to do the reverse. In this case it's the latter.Starting with the assumption that humans everywhere, all races/
    ethnicities, tend to want to associate with others of their type in preference over associating with others of differing race/ethnicity, I'd like to determine how/why this came to be, *as an evolutionary function*. I think it's easily demonstrable that
    there are exceptions to this general tendency, but by default, one wants to associate with like kind. In my observation, the rule holds for at least 90% of any given group.I'd also postulate that some races/groups are more prone to like-kind association
    that other groups, but in general, like-kind applies to all discreet groups, everywhere, and throughout time.So how did this come to be?I'd suspect that in early primate prehistory, social groupings were relatively small. Extended family groups, with
    some level of blood relationship. Periodically, surplus young adult males were driven from the group by the dominant males. These surplus males would tend to be the more aggressive males, with the lesser males subservient to the authority of the dominant
    male and his clique. Now and then the dominant male would falter, and either be killed or driven from the group, to be replaced by either one of the young aggressive males, or perhaps one of the clique. Basically that would be the end of the road for the
    former dominant male.So relatively physically capable young males were driven to the periphery, and they often banded together for mutual protection/survival. These were "stag" bands, with no females: likely some level of mutual sexual gratification was
    practiced. These bands might approach another group (or their former group) and try to either defeat the dominant male and his clique, or more likely, simply steal females for mating purposes.So it would seem to me that deeply within human instinct is
    the unease/rejection of outsider, males especially. From pre-human times there was nothing but bad news to come from groups of outsiders.This *tendency*, attenuated somewhat as surpluses of all kinds became more routine, began to weaken as the surpluses
    reduced survival pressure to maintain the social status quo. The comestible surpluses could support both "surplus" males and females, to a degree, making for less degree of blood relationship. But still the individuals of the groups were more closely
    related to each other by custom, means of communication, hunter-gatherer techniques--essentially clans--than any outsider would be--who ostensibly came from his/her own social grouping.A that point two mitigating motivations began to manifest themselves:
    trade and intermarriage--which often was a form of trade.I'd guess that after a certain point, two separate groups, whose social strength was close to equal, thus discouraging open warfare, might encounter each other and size each other up with minimal
    contact. In one or the other of the groups, or maybe in both, perceptive and intelligent individuals might perceive that members of the other group had material goods that seemed of value, and since open warfare was impractical, and individual theft was
    risky, these perceptive individuals proposed to exchange material items with the other group.Maybe the perceptive individuals might be thought of as "proto-Jews"... ;^)This was the beginnings of trade.Now this same evaluation of each tribe's material
    goods would also include individuals. But trading for a fully functional and unattached male was nothing but trouble, for both sides, nor was an extra male usually needed by a group, but there could never be enough mating aged females, so this was the
    beginning of intermarriage/interbreeding.So I'm saying that today's tendency for humans to want to associate with others who appear to be very similar to themselves stems from these early interactions between separate human social groups. It was risky to
    interact, and it was most comfortable when limited to exchange, and not necessarily to social gatherings for celebration ("party down!") since customs/communication were uncomfortably strange. This instinct still stays with us, and any outside attempt to
    enforce mixed association is basically pissing against a headwind.Your thoughts on this, skript?
    I guess you described it near perfectly, explaining the evolutionary mechanism.

    But what now?

    It is what it is, e.g. you said 90% of folks want to stay around their own kind, yet even my modest proposals, that we split it as if the groups are even, 50-50, is met with disapproval. Weird, ha?



    Yes, weird.

    I tend to see it as a phenomenon of the changing evolutionary
    environment. That said, it looks like my genes are likely to die out as >>>> unfit for the present extreme cosmopolitan environment; I can't tell yet
    if/how this is carried by my daughter. This means either I've got to >>>> change my own *INSTINCTUAL* response (you can fake it, but the stress >>>> remains back there, sublimated), or else there'd have to be an extremely
    forceful realignment of the evolutionary environment, something like a >>>> race war, with enforced separation.

    As an interesting aside, so far as finding a suitable reproductive mate,
    this natural aversion does not apply broadly. If it applies (and I think
    it does) it's kinda narrow. So finding a sexually attractive female of >>>> another race trumps the pervasive instinct to stick to one's on phenotype.

    In a way, it works like finding a female of your own type who is *not* >>>> suitable, so far as you are concerned: you will routinely see
    reproductive females of your own group who inspire little to no desire >>>> to mate. This sexual thing seems to work along a different axis from >>>> general desire to associate with one's own group.

    Does this even make any sense? :^)
    Sure, but what's the big deal? Some like their mates to share skin color/ethnicity/hair color/music tastes, whatever. Each to his/her own.
    That's fine, b; I understand your point and it's valid *per individual*. >>
    But what I'm after is out of any given discreet grouping, *what
    percentage is x*, where "x" is a behavior, a talent, a preference? I'm
    looking at trends, because trends indicate the general direction of the >> evolution of the group, socially, physically, whatever.

    This interests me a lot. It answers questions that I have that beg
    answers--if plausible and convincing.

    You'll recall, too, that I'm in a interracial marriage with a bi-racial >> kid. I'm not looking for "is this good/bad?", but more why is it that
    many whom I've encountered do not seem to be attracted to any potential >> mate of another phenotype. It's more than "well, it's their upbringing". >> That might account for some of it.

    But my best friend from college and beyond, until he died a while back, >> was--how can I put it?--a hardened LA womanizer from college to age 46, >> when he finally married for the first time. He was extremely eclectic in >> his tastes, but for reasons not apparent, he was quite ambivalent about >> Asian females who, to me, looked very desirable.

    ...and looking inside myself, I see a similar response to sub-Saharan
    women. I can *see* a certain beauty in some, but I have no real
    interest. And yet I've seen very dark Indian women who were extremely
    attractive to me. Skin color is not the principal criterion.

    I have some ideas about why this is so, in my case, and I suspect that
    something similar operates in many others of various phenotypes *as a
    general trend*. There are individual exceptions and these exceptions can >> be characterized as of varying strengths among such individuals.

    I think that it's best characterized as what do you find *repellent*
    traits in those of a different phenotype, rather than "what do you find >> attractive". I think that's the principal determinant.
    I like intellect. Conversely, I am repelled by stupidity.
    Oh, for shit's sake yes!

    I can recall some wit writing:

    "Intelligence is the greatest aphrodisiac."

    Now combine that, and a booty that just don't quit...ummm, ummm, ummm!

    :^)

    :-)

    Hey, b, do you remember the old joke (might have been a cheech marin monologue) about the pope having to have sex with a woman to save the
    world? ;^)

    I don't remember that one.
