Steve Sailer spanks hopeless prescriptivist ideologue Jared Diamond in reviewing Michael Hart's new book Understanding Human History.
Diamond's scrupulously PC screed never allows empirical reality to interfere with his Euro-Marxist take on human development. It's all about sideways variables and has nothing to do with inbred intelligence which theologian Diamond rules as "racist."
But Steve's review linked above says more than I ever could to express the point above. I'm out to get Hart's book tout de suite.
"Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, ...the fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being govern'd, as the sea is, by the moon" [Henry IV, I.ii.31-33] HISTORY NEVER REPEATS ITSELF, BUT IT OFTEN RHYMES "There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America." Otto von Bismarck
