The nature of a country is defined, foremost, by the biology – by the blood – of its people.

A phenotype is the “blood and tissue” of an organism and it is specified by genes (the genotype) of an organism (we will ignore some academic details such as phenotypic plasticity and focus on the general principle). So, for example, some organisms have wings, wings are a phenotype. Some organisms have tails, tails are phenotypes. Or we can view all components of an organism together as a phenotype. We can also consider behaviour patterns as phenotypes; the classic example of this is the damn building beaver – damn building is phenotype or because it is “beyond” the “blood and tissue” of the beaver we can call it an extended phenotype.

So, animals like lions, penguins and mice and so on all look different and behave differently because their genotypes differ. And likewise with humans. Some forms of human are capable of building what we call First World civilisations others are scarcely capable of passing the Stone Age. When Europeans arrived in Australia they found that Australian Aborigines were Stone Age denizens as were native New Guineans when they were first contacted not so long ago. Blacks too were found to be, if memory serves, approximately in the Stone Age. Similarly, the Europeans who first visited these peoples had achieved contemporaneous high-technology societies.

The acute reader will know what is coming. The Stone Age or near Stone Age societies of the Australoids and Blacks were extended phenotypes, that is, expressions of their genetic material and the high-technology societies of Europeans were likewise.

All the genotypes of a given population can be conceptualised as a single genotype and the society constructed by that population can be considered as the extended phenotype of that genotype. That is, the products of a population such as skyscrapers, roads, bridges, tunnels, academic and political institutions, philosophy, art, literature, music, wars, international treaties and so on are all extended phenotypes.

Let us recall that Blacks build Third World countries, that is their phenotype. We, then, can expect Blacks to build Third World-esque communities when they enter our First World European countries – this is something we can predict with strong confidence.

All of this seems rather obvious to me but I point it out because it seems to be not so obvious to many. Perhaps that is due to the apparent fact that the Western mind-set has been almost purged of the concept of human nature. The human is often believed to be infinitely mouldable; it is often believed that we can take any human and turn him into a pilot or brilliant novelist or genius scientist if we provid the right environment. It is believed that Blacks an Arabs and so on will do well in our First World societies. Alas, this is not the case. The message of this work, straightly stated, is as follows: The nature of a country is defined, foremost, by the biology – by the blood – of its people.
