laodan rated 7 months ago- Evolution And The Hive Mind via 3QD, in Science a gogo by Rusty Rockets
Now that scientists are readily identifying genomic changes due to selective pressures, what's next? Would it be too far fetched to suggest that social pressures could affect brain function at a genetic level? At least one study has identified collective behavioral differences between Western cultures like the United States and China, possibly suggesting the beginning of brain divergence among humans. The study, from the University of Chicago, makes the claim that people living in the United States have difficulties with accepting another person's point of view, which they put down to US culture prizing individualism. They say that in China, where a collectivist attitude is encouraged, quite the opposite is true, with Chinese citizens being much more in tune with how others are thinking. Evolution And The Hive Mind This idea that societal ways are among the shapers of the evolution of the brain is a most interesting one. The interaction between the polarities of any unity is the central hypothesis upon which rests my personal worldview. In that light my understanding of humanity is resulting from the interactions between its societal polarity and the polarity represented by the individuals. This idea that societal ways are among the shapers of the evolution of the brain is kind of putting some flesh on the skeleton of my hypothesis.

- From the page: "Biologists at Cornell University, who have been studying genetic changes occurring in the human genome over the last 15,000 to 100,000 years, have found that over this relatively short period of time the human genome has changed by a staggering 10 percent."
