🧵 How can someone predict the best environment for their genes?

Maps like these are very interesting but they only provide information about settlement and not what environment these people have actually adapted for. Yes, for some it could be true but definitely not all, especially the southern and eastern ones that had more migrations and wars with different types of people. How is one supposed to then find the best possible environment for their genes and what about mixed race people?

apply darwins theory of evolution.

This regional variation is not a result of environmental adaptation. It's mostly the result of patrilinear clan dynamics, sexual selection, and the mixing of neighboring populations.

I mentioned that. The point is to find out what's the best place for everyone based on their genetics.

Long term fertility rates are your best bet.

That makes no sense at all. These Sami and Uralic people have no genetic purpose to be where they are.

Google scholar? Trial and error?
I look kinda like Baltic, East Nordic and Ladogan mixed, which lines up with my ancestory. I'm pretty good at staying out in the cold.

Other than long term fertility what more fundamental test of environmental adaptation is there?

what the fuck is that picture.. none of that is based on reality and why the flying fuck is this posted on /sci/? you fucking retards need to go and actually study something instead of larping as "science fans".
.. Mixed race?
You either failed biology or scraped through somehow without anyone realising you're a retard.
I'm a biologst. That's my job. There is no such thing as "race" in biology. That's a political term, not a scientific term.
Also you have absolutely no understanding of what people from different parts of europe look like if you think that little meme you posted has any credibility to it, lmao wtf.
You're definitely American. If you aren't, you should probably consider moving there. You'd fit right in.

No. It isn't. You've been brainwashed.
Facts don't care about your feelings.
Go ahead and be the first person to prove the existance of 'race', or even try to define it you fucking moron.
It's impressive how people like you, with 0 understanding, qualifications, training, are so arrogant that you just think you inherently "know science" better than the people whose job it is to test and understand these things.
Holy shit. You are pathetic.

>Facts don't care about your feelings.
Exactly, yet you're all emotional up here attacking people personally. Even one of the inventors of the DNA admits that there's a difference but obviously you're more intelligent than him. And I'm sure that how people are supposed to be treated when they share their thoughts. So much for the credibility of "science".

It's called a variety. You can have a mixture of genetically distant varieties. Mixed race is a colloquialism that has a concrete interpretation in scientific terms.
Also, if you're going to react like a bitch. Please don't drop your credentials as part of that because it undermines other credentialed people.

The picture in the map are composite pictures. That means that the people in the map are quite literally average by design.
>>16299234
If you really are a biologist, then why don't you know that race is literally just another word for subspecies?

I suspect that due to the relaxation of harsh darwinian selection pressures resulting from complex civilization, that there's nowhere that we're really adapted for. We've adapted the environment to suit our ever deteriorating genetics.

You're a LARPer. If you even do work in the sciences, you're unlikely to be anything more than a lab technician. Since time immemorial, human cultures have recognised that several families form a clan, several clans form a tribe, several tribes form a nation, several nations form an ethnic confederation, several ethnic confederations form a race, and that all the races together form humankind. Given the fact that evolution, genetic drift, sexual selection, and in-group preference are well-documented biological phenomena, we can infer that over a long enough period of time, enough genetic differentiation to justify the definition of racial categories will occur.
Cheap, low-quality bait, but you got me to reply to it so you get the last laugh, I suppose.

And it's an awful set of averages, mind you.
