I’ve seen a few people that I know show their ignorance by making the simple connection that since Europeans and Western ways came to dominate the world, it must be something genetic. I say “ignorance” because they are ignoring that they wouldn’t last a minute in a jungle, but people live there and build with hardly any clothes and no metal tools. They ignore that people can be transplanted from one continent to another and quickly learn the ways of the culture they find themselves in. I can at least understand this mindset because I have been ignorant too.
What I don’t get is that someone can read some history and consider the facts that are relevant and still maintain the narrative.
