Isolation line

"Cochran and Harpending also argue that populations that developed agriculture more recently and were genetically isolated from the rest of the world, have not yet gained all of these genetic adaptations, and so are less able to function as modern states and economies than others."

I have this book, and while Cochran and Harpending are hereditarians, they don't really seem to argue that behavioral adaptions to civilization came much from things like spreading the alleles for personality or cognitive profiles or whatever.

Weasel word

In the sentence "... the authors explain the genetic basis of their view that human evolution is accelerating, illustrating it with some unexpected examples", the word "unexpected" is a matter of opinion.

Book and authors proponents of Race Realism

Should we mention that on this page and the authors' pages?70.49.45.161 (talk) 09:25, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why would we? --JorisvS (talk) 09:59, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It seems incredibly prudent to point this out that these authors and their book supports HBD, look at their blogs for example. We should not exclude any information — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.49.45.161 (talk) 16:53, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
HBD?? What does race realism have to do with this article? I do not have to discover your line of reasoning, you should tell it. --JorisvS (talk) 09:18, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In short the authors are proponents of Human Biodiversity. You should look at their blog.74.14.73.37 (talk) 05:55, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
