Eye sensitivity is the easiest to understand since it deals directly with what melanin does best in the skin, protecting against UV from the sun

>I imagine familial/community structure influenced a lot more than we think geneticallyMost likely did. What I know and the commonly expressed explanations I've read which focuses on the differences in population density between western peoples and eastern ones caused by differences in staple agricultural crops. The amount of calories that can be cultivated per acre of rice is more than twice that of wheat given that enough water can be sourced to create rice paddies. Differences in animal husbandry I don't understand as much, but Asians ate less meat than Europeans presumably due to some of the limitations imposed by wheat, letting things lay fallow was a greater a concern than with rice since as long as enough moisture was being supplied to the land rice can be cultivated 'continuously'. Other sources of calories are required then, and supplementing it with animals helps. > European men would've been under much harsher selection to performPerform in what is the thing. If there's harsher selection then there's much less room for sexual selection to take place, there's less need for it since the men who use energy outside of whatever is required for life wouldn't fare as well as those who didn't. What about blue eyes would even be attractive? The sorts of things that decreased pigmentation (and blue eyes are that, even if they're colorful as a result) is something only seen in those with less testosterone than their peers within race. It's something associated with femininity and youth, which could definitely be sexually selected for. Asians were selected more harshly for their ability to cooperate within groups since their entire lifestyle demanded that sort of ability.

That's an interesting explanation. I don't think albinism and blue eyes actually have anything but a loose connection with each other but there is an association between albinism and autism for whatever reasons

Inuits have darker skin than would be expected of a people in their environment. Speculation goes is:A) All of their diet consists of seafood and that has significant amounts of vitamin D, which acts against any selective pressure for paler skin B) Snow and water in general is extremely reflective so they're getting more sunlight on themselves than would initially be expected C) They're relatively recent arrivals within their environment, the far north was uninhabited until about 12,000 years ago, so there might've not been enough time for selection pressures to cement pale skin as a dominant trait within their population They would have pale skin if their founding stock had pale skin since there's no downsides to that, most likely it'd be a benefit rather than a detriment. Likewise, there's enough counter-acting effects granted by their environment for pale skin to not be strongly selected for. People fan out and inherit the traits of whatever race they belong to while making adaptions to whatever new environment they belong to, but it's never truly novel but instead arises from already existent genetic material and phenotypes within said population. That genetic inheritance sets the stage for any novel adaptations to develop, there's no other way of thinking about it. The guy in the Andes is going to be more similar to those geographically close to him than to someone on the other side of the world, unless those two had a more recent common ancestor than geographical proximity would predict

Taking the time to write out kanji that are causing trouble does solidify it in my head

@worldisrotting Been taking a break from lurking fedi/the internet in general for this reason. Massive waste of energy

@idea_enjoyer @worldisrotting If you're not getting angry over the opinions and hysteria of strangers then there's little reason to disengage, but it feels like people intentionally go out of their way to be antagonistic for shitposting/reaction provoking purposes. Getting a real life community either way is the ideal of course

Training small muscle groups to exhaustion after compound movements helps those muscles grow, since it's unlikely they're being taxed to their full potential. Also helps with improvements in the compound movement itself (biceps are useful for pull ups but it's not enough to simply train pull ups)

@udongle My verbal output in general has been really low. I don't think I have anything to say so I don't
