how does war selectively affect human genetics?
regarding testosterone, height, intelligence, perception, traits, etc of the next generation
it passes on intergenerational trauma

It keeps those whomst be intillegent enough to design rifles over those whomst shoot them and get shot at by them.

so what do we know? is trauma a good thing? is it the only thing that can truly make you a good person?
>height
decreases because shorties stay home and tall guys are sent off to die
>intelligence
increases because even in the military, smarts are too precious to be on the front line
there's lots of beautiful women in russia now, ww2 killed most of the men so the surviving men didn't have to compete too hard for a 10/10 woman
I think pictures like this say it all

the vast majority of people don't die in wars, so the ones that do are usually those most inclined to be in a war or those too weak to get out of the way
I'd say we're getting less violent over time.
wars fought to a stalemate favor cowards
wars of conquest favor rapists

No. They were some studies from WW1 that correlated IQ with death rate on the battlefield. The reasoning was that smarter people are more likely to be promoted to NCO positions and that NCO had a higher chance of dying due to them having to lead by example and expose themselves to riskier situations.

I think what he meant to say was that the smarts aren't stupid enough to throw their lives away in wars and so the same effect.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

The strongest go out into battles while the draft dodgers fuck their wives until their wives are pregnant. Guess how that turns out.
