>>21916495My explanations are:
1) Our geography favoured fragmentation, especially after the Fall of the Roman Empire, and the fragmentation favoured constant wars that kept improving the military technology.
2) Our fragmentation favoured Feudalism and our marriage patterns had a big downward-mobility effect, which in turn made even the lowliest peasants descendants from nobles, with every genetic advantage that that might come with.
3) Our religion favoured so many other cultural habits that I couldn't name all of them in this post, but I guess you know where I'm going.
All of this compounded over 1000 years made our ancestors Superhuman-tier compared with other populations.
