Charles Darwin’s main thesis in The Descent of Man is that mankind shares traits with animals and must have evolved from them via natural selection. Part of natural selection is sexual selection, which is competition within the species to impress mates. Darwin seeks to influence sexual selection in humans, imploring them to choose each other for their virtues rather than wealth or rank. (more…)

Foreword
James DunphyPaul Popenoe (1888-1979) was a leading figure in the American eugenics movement, publishing his book Applied Eugenics in 1918. The following chapter, “Religion and Eugenics,” is taken from it.
After writing Applied Eugenics, Popenoe noticed the rising divorce rates in his time and decided to work as a marriage counselor. (more…)

The members of an ethnic group who cease striving to preserve their ethnic genetic interest have their inclusive fitness — their adaptiveness — reduced to the individual fitness of children and close family. They are, in effect, leaving their ethnic genetic capital to chance — the vagaries of nature and the good-will of competing groups. — Frank Salter
It may seem ironic that one of the most canonical pro-white and pro-white nationalist works ever written hardly mentions the white race at all. But it really isn’t ironic. (more…)

I hope to see a rehabilitation and mass adoption of sociobiology and its thought tools in the years to come. The notion of society, human affairs, and politics as products of biology and the social sphere influencing biology, rather than the two magisteria being separate from each other, seemed intuitive to our ancestors, before socio and bio were cruelly rent from each other in the inglorious culmination of mind-body dualism which has plagued Western philosophy since the time of Plato.

Part 1 of 2 (Part 2 here)
Ancestral mating patterns reconstructed from DNA reveal that “the pair-bond is a ubiquitous feature most commonly observed in the form of serial monogamy.” In other words, having one spouse is the norm for humans.
An undercurrent of polygamy has coexisted with the monogamal norm, however. (more…)

The people of the ancient Mediterranean had a peculiar belief. They believed that malodorous air, or bad air, was a cause of a particular disease which, owing to its origins, they named malaria. This was called the miasma theory of disease. Guided by this theory, they sought to build their cities away from sources of bad air, such as swamps and other bodies of stagnant, foul-smelling water.

If you are as adept as I am at picking Jews out of a police lineup, you would realize upon first glance that South African-born TV reporter and war correspondent Lara Logan is not Jewish. Like Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron, another South African-born blonde butterfly, Logan has the sort of icily superhuman Nordic beauty that leads one to suspect she was designed in a biolab by some lascivious descendant of Hugo Boss. She’s so decisively non-Jewish, bagels immediately go stale in her presence. (more…)

I found Dr. Robert Jensen’s recent interview at Counter-Currents with Hubert Collins refreshing and thought-provoking. It is very seldom that a Leftist academic is willing to have a discussion with White Nationalists at all, and I admire his open-mindedness. He articulated the basis of his outlook very well. Most Leftists take their own outlook for granted and never explain why anyone else ought to share their positions; they react with hysteria to any disagreement. (more…)

Involuce člověka napříč cykly: radikální tradicionalismus a antropogeneze
4,928 slov
English original here
V antropologických kruzích dnes převažují dvě základní teorie o zrodu moderního člověka. Tou první je hypotéza „africké kolébky“, podle níž se dnešní lidé vyvinuli z primitivní hominidní rasy, která před asi sedmdesáti tisíci lety začala ze své africké kolébky osídlovat ostatní kontinenty. V Evropě a Asii vytlačili tito pralidé násilným konfliktem a vyšší plodností původní neandrtálce. Následně se přizpůsobili svému novému prostředí a postupně se působením takzvané lokalizované evoluce vyvinuli v dnešní lidské rasy. (more…)
