Amazon has removed this interesting book as part of their social "justice" campaign so I'll be quoting it here.

"Fuerle’s Erectus Walks Among Us is another example of race-realist scholarship that could not have found a place in today’s mainstream."

"Erectus Walks Among Us is several books in one, all written from a firmly race-realist perspective. It is a primer on evolution and genetics, a catalog of how populations differ, an introduction to sociobiology and the concept of genetic interests, and a plea for white survival"

"Mr. Fuerle is not a paleoanthropologist — he is a polymath with degrees in math, law, economics, physics and chemistry — but this may be an advantage. He does not share the anti-racist prejudices so common among social scientists, and he has written a clear and engaging book..."

"... that benefits greatly from generous use of graphs and photographs, almost all in color"

"The skulls of Africans, for example, are narrow, front to back, which makes it easier to cool the brain whereas Asian skulls are more spherical, thus retaining heat by offering less..."

"...surface area per unit volume. European skulls are intermediate. Africans have wooly hair that wicks sweat away from the head, also helping to cool the brain, and have dark skin to protect against the sun. They are also long-limbed, which makes for better cooling. Asians..."

"... are stockier, for better heat retention, and have fat evenly distributed around their bodies, which protects against cold and gives them a “yellow” appearance. Again, Europeans are intermediate."

"The sudden drop in temperature also killed many inhabitants of the Northern Hemisphere, especially in Europe, but had much less effect on the tropics. This lead to a considerable boost in the intelligence of the surviving northern populations."

"Africans tend to have heavy jaws and exhibit prognathism, which means their jaws protrude forward. This is considered a primitive trait left over from when our most effective weapon was our teeth, which, in order to be effective, had to be able to cut a swath that extended..."

"...out in front of the face. Apes, for example, have extended jaws that let them meet an enemy with their teeth rather than their faces."

"Africans also have a larger post-orbital constriction than whites, and that of Asians is smaller. The constriction is a pair of..."

"...left-right dents in the skull just behind the eyes that leave room for jaw muscles. The larger the constriction, the larger the chewing muscles and the more powerful the bite, but less room is left for the forebrain. Africans also have eyes set wider apart than Europeans..."

"... or Asians. Another racial difference is in the location of the foramen magnum, the large hole in the skull, through which the spinal cord attaches to the brain. Since man walks upright, the hole is at the base of the skull, whereas in animals that go on all fours the..."

"... hole is at the back. Apes therefore have the foramen magnum farther back in the skull than humans, and in Africans, it is slightly farther back than in Eurasians."

"The skull is made up of several large bones that join along lines called sutures. At birth the sutures..."

"...are not fully closed, and they close earlier in blacks than in Eurasians."

"There are important racial differences in soft tissue as well as bone. The three outer layers of the brain are called the supragranular layers, and they increase in thickness from the lower to..."

"...the higher animals. Mr. Fuerle reports that the supragranular layers are 15 percent thinner in blacks than in whites."

"“Because research on racial differences, except where they are medically important, has been effectively outlawed for at least the last 50 years,..."

"... there are no doubt thousands of other racial differences that have not been discovered or published.”"

"American whites save 20 percent more than blacks even when they have the same incomes."

"In the harsher north, a woman needed a hunter — a man — to provide for her and her children. This led to pair bonding, because children could not survive without it, and the tendency to bond was passed to future generations. Africans, on the other hand, evolved less pair ..."

"...bonding because it was less necessary."

" In the promiscuous tropics, men competed by producing more sperm. Africans, therefore, have the largest testicles and Asians have the smallest... testicles, like brains, are very costly, and increased size in either leaves..."

"...fewer resources for other organs.

The fact that women in the tropics could support themselves and their young may have had the sinister effect of making rape more biologically adaptive. In cold climates, where women and children could not survive without a man, the..."

"...impulse to rape was seldom passed on because any resulting child was likely to die. In the tropics, where mother and child had a better chance of surviving, it would have been maladaptive not to #rape. This may explain high rates of rape among African populations."

"Self-supporting females in the tropics also meant that dominant men could maintain more than one woman, whereas in the north, it was beyond the abilities of most men to support more than one woman and her children. In the north, because it was the sex that hunts that could..."

"...offer or withhold meat, it was men, rather than the women, who were in a better bargaining position for choosing mates. They selected for beauty, which is a good proxy for health and fertility and this, according to Mr. Fuerle, led to increased beauty in Eurasian women."

"frican men, on the other hand, chose multiple wives on the basis of their ability to gather food or raise crops rather than beauty. At the same time, polygamy meant that some men had no wives at all, and the remaining, smaller number of women were in a position to take their..."

"...pick from among the men. Since African women, unlike northern women, could support themselves, they chose men, not according to whether they were “good providers,” but according to their #beauty. Thus, writes Mr. Fuerle, African men are more handsome than African women."

"This may also explain data that suggest African women have higher #IQs than African men: Since women selected men for beauty rather than ability, there was not as much of a premium on #intelligence."

"Eurasian women who live in advanced societies can now support themselves, and need not mate with the men who can best provide food and shelter. This means they can choose according to appearance — which means future generations of Eurasian men may be more handsome but less..."

"...intelligent."

"In the north, men had to work together to bring down big game and to establish rules for sharing meat. #Cooperation and respect for rules were less necessary closer to the equator, and this may explain high rates of #crime and #sociopathy among Africans."

"All these racial traits add up to considerable genetic distance between Africans and other populations. Mr. Fuerle cites Frank Salter, who points out some of the surprising consequences of this genetic distance. The members of stable breeding populations are genetically..."

"...close to each other and have many alleles in common. They are even closer to their immediate family members, but this relation can be reversed by hybrid crosses between parents from groups that are genetically far apart. Bantus, for example, are so genetically distant..."

"... from East Asians that the Asian father of an Asian/Bantu mulatto would be genetically *CLOSER to a random Asian STRANGER THAN to his own CHILD*. That is to say, he would have more alleles in common with any member of his own people than with his own hybrid child."

"Studies have shown that parents are more attached to children who look like them and with whom they share the most genes. Abuse and neglect are more likely when it is obvious that parent and child come from dissimilar stock"

"A preference for mates from one’s own stock may also protect from infection, because genetically similar people are likely to have the same antibodies and not carry exotic diseases."

"the physical differences between human races are, in many cases, vastly greater than the physical differences between animals that are classified as separate species."

"Chimps and bonobos are easier to tell apart, as are the two species of gorilla, yet these pairs of species are closer to each other genetically and physically than are the more distant races of humans to each other."

#RaceDifferences #Race #HumanRaces #RaceScience #Genetics

"It is not scientifically consistent to classify gorillas into as species but lump all living humans into one... if there were no living Africans — only their bones and DNA — scientists would classify them as a separate species from Eurasians."

#RaceDifferences

"Mr. Fuerle writes that Africans and Eurasians are not only genetically distant from each other but that the distance runs in a consistent direction"

"[V]irtually all of the racial differences between Africans and Eurasians are in traits that are primitive; there are few, if..."

"...any, African traits that are more modern than Eurasian traits. The evidence comes from a large variety of very different traits: hard tissue, soft tissue, physiology, behavior, intelligence, accomplishments, and genes. And most importantly, all of the evidence is consistent."

"It is not the case that genes are saying blacks are modern and bones are saying they are primitive. All of the evidence is saying the same thing"

"It is often argued that crosses between genetically distant groups result in an advantage called “hybrid vigor.”

"Mr. Fuerle devotes a chapter to this question, in which he explains how this works. When populations are thoroughly inbred, they have similar sets of alleles, meaning that recessive traits — both positive and negative — are likely to appear. Crossing with another inbred..."

"...population can mix up the alleles in a way that is beneficial, but the effect lasts for only one or two generations. It is because the benefit is short-lived that farmers have to buy new kinds of hybrid seeds every year."

"Hybrid vigor is almost never found in humans because the major races are not nearly inbred enough to benefit from distant crosses. On the contrary, genetically distant matches can result in health problems due to subtle genetic incompatibilities that stable breeding..."

"...populations ironed out long ago. In the case of black-white mixes, regression towards the mean draws hybrid children’s IQs toward a point mid-way between the black and white average IQs."

"Thus, the children of two white parents with IQs of 100 will, on average, be smarter than the children of one black and one white parent, even if they, too, have IQs of 100."

"The final section of Erectus Walks Amongst Us is a plea to cherish human variation as much as plant or animal variation. Mr. Fuerle writes of the unique alleles that have been sorted out among the different races:

[I]t takes only an instant of miscegenation to scramble them .."

"...up again. The selection of some of those alleles required the suffering and death of hundreds of thousands of people who did not have them, so the creation of racial differences was not without great cost. To destroy this monumental natural creation — us — so thoughtlessly.."

"... and permanently, is akin to desecrating graves, dynamiting ancient statues, bombing cathedrals, and burning the library at Alexandria. What is the most valuable possession populations have that they can pass on to the next generation?"

"It is not wealth or even knowledge. It is their genome, their ability to reproduce themselves as the unique people that they are. To squander that by miscegenation is the ultimate betrayal of one’s heritage."

"Today, whites are the only major racial group that faces oblivion through miscegenation and sub-replacement fertility, yet whites are also the only race that welcomes racial aliens into their homelands. This is a new phenomenon in human evolution"

"“The carrying capacity of the earth will eventually be reached, and it has probably already been reached in some countries. When that happens in white countries, our descendants will be in a life-and-death struggle for survival with the descendants of the non-whites that..."

"...whites foolishly let into their homelands"

"What is more, most of the newcomers have relatively low IQs. Mr. Fuerle writes that their arrival in large numbers will eventually make it impossible to maintain modern civilization and that the West will be hopelessly..."

"...outstripped by East Asian nations that have carefully limited immigration."

"Today, any white who speaks out for the preservation of his people or race is condemned as a “racist,” but it is only by putting its interests first that any group survives."

"Mr. Fuerle marvels at the mentality of whites who think it virtuous to decline in numbers while others take their lands and inherit what their ancestors built: “These white anti-racists don’t like what they are. How could creatures evolve who are capable of not liking..."

"... themselves? Surely, such creatures would have been driven extinct long ago by others of their kind who do like themselves.” He adds: “Why so many whites eagerly embrace white-hating, however, remains to be explained.”"

Mr. Fuerle suspects the problem may be..."

"...altruism run amok. Whites rose to the top, not only through high intelligence but through cooperation with and even sacrifice for others. When whites sacrificed for other whites it promoted their genetic interests, but today’s “promiscuous altruism” means sacrificing..."

"...for non-whites."

"At the same time, aside from a few groups such as the Mormons, whites have become unable or unwilling to reproduce themselves: “Caucasians may be good at making discoveries in math and science and at creating great works of art, but they aren’t so good..."

"... at making more Caucasians which, as far as evolution is concerned, is all that matters.” Mr. Fuerle clearly cares deeply about the fate of his people, and this book concludes with a strong appeal to racial consciousness, without which whites will disappear."

"Erectus Walks Amongst Us is stuffed with so much information and so many good arguments it is a pity it suffers from several flaws. First and worst, the title and cover illustration are so insulting to blacks — implying that they are primitives just down from the trees..."

"...— that one can hardly carry this book around in public. The writing can also be contemptuous of blacks and of people who accept the Out of Africa theory."

[#JaredTaylor doesn't sound like racist to me, unlike #MainstreamMedia claims]

"No book that flouts as many orthodoxies as this one does can afford to aid its critics by indulging in intemperate language."
