the matrilineal belt. "[A]n area in Africa south of the equator where matrilineality is predominant. The matrilineal belt runs diagonally from the Atlantic to the Indian oceans, crossing Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matriline…
map from here: scholar.harvard.edu/files/slowes/f…
matrilineal systems weaken clans. they're not-so-viscous societies. (books.google.com/books?id=TpjwF…)
this is one complicated set of affairs in the central african matrilineal belt. inheritance/clan membership runs thru mother's side of the family, but women go live with their husbands' extended families/clans. ... i confused. (@.@) books.google.com/books?id=Kk98W…
uh oh. the solution to these complications? cousin marriage.
i noted before that this region has a preference for cousin marriage:
why matrilineal systems at all? (books.google.com/books?id=4rAeu…)

thread of threads of mine from 2018 i'd like to highlight. (^_^)

keep in mind usual: evolution can be recent, rapid, local, is def ongoing. the forces of evolution are: mutation, selection, (gene) migration, and genetic drift. the viscosity of pops matters wrt kin selection. 1/n
core europe. where bipartite manorialism/communal field systems were present during middle ages. significance: along w/small families+low cuz marriage rates, produced pops w/very low viscosity. individuals interacted with/married non-kin more than kin. 2/n
bipartite manorialism pushed for nuclear families in nw europe and did so early. by the 800s tenants on manors in france were living in nuclear families. significance: nw euros have worked/cooperated more w/non-kin than other pops have for 1000+ years. 3/n

It seems like people are into MASS EXTINCTIONS these days and I wrote a book on them so here's a 2-Part ⚡️MEGATHREAD⚡️ on the worst things that have ever happened
EXTINCTION 1: The first major mass extinction was 445 million years ago, the End-Ordovician. It happened on a planet that as alien as any in science fiction.
N. America was mostly south of the equator and on its side, eastern New England had just rifted off of a supercontinent straddling the South Pole--and wouldn't crash into N. America for almost 100 million years. The midwest was a shallow ocean.

Plants can be very sensitive to average temperatures. Barley (used to make beer) is one of those plants. Yep. Climate change will impact the availability of your beer.

This is a well known property of food crops, affecting things like the ease of empire expansion E-W across Asia/Europe vs N-S across Africa/South America. Most crops can't expand beyond a narrow set of latitudes.

How Europe Raped Africa

The Berlin conference of 1884 is where European colonising nations basically carved up Africa. Historians refer to it as “the scramble for Africa”.

#Africa #Europe #WhiteSupremacy
The countries represented at the time included Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, #France, #Germany, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, #Russia, #Spain, Sweden-Norway (unified from 1814-1905), #Turkey, and the United States of #America.
The Conference of 1884–85, also known as the Congo Conference, regulated European colonization and trade in #Africa during the New Imperialism period and coincided with Germany's sudden emergence as an imperial power.

When we celebrate the #IndependanceDay , lets also remind ourselves of the price a common #Indian had to pay for the Freedom we enjoy today!
Neither should the culprits of #1947Divide be forgotten or forgiven for the sufferings of our people!
Perpetrators for hatching the plot of the #1947Divide were,
1, Winston Churchill, to safeguard the strategic interests of the British Empire in🇮🇳& Indian Oceans
2, Betrayal of Muslims
3, #Congress , the Partner-in-crime that allowed it to happen!
#IndependanceDay
30 Dec 1906,on the birth of Muslim League, ‘Lal Ishtihar’ was distributed appealing to Muslims,
‘not to buy from #Hindus
not touch anything manufactured by them,not to study in the same school
acquire knowledge & send them to jehannum,that Hindus became rich robbing their💰’!

South Africa votes through motion to seize land from white farmers without compensation!

This is what the Democrats want in the US. They want Trump out so they can complete their plans.

Redistribution of land. The people who work hard for their land now have it stripped from them to give to the poor. Once everyone is poor, government has all the power. How can anyone not see this for what it is?

#LibsMoveToAfrica
South Africa‘s parliament has passed a motion that could lead to the seizure of land from white farmers without paying them compensation.

Tutorial on how to make a map using QGIS. I'll turn @SenhorRaposa's 2000 Vermont town data into a map showing by how much Gore outran Senator Jeffords (or vice versa) in every town.
Step 1: Download QGIS for your computer, which is available here:
qgis.org/en/site/foruse…
You'll also need some of Census' Tiger/Line County and County Sub shapefiles. The main download page for those is here:
census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/sh…

A direct link to the 2017 VT county sub shapefile is here: ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2017/COUSUB/tl_2017_50_cousub.zip
I can't find a 2017 County file by state, so we'll use the 2009 verison here:
ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2009/50_VERMONT/tl_2009_50_county.zip
(We could always edit the 17 national county file in QGIS & create a 2017 VT-only county shapefile, but let's keep it simple.)
