I think it's the book the posits that whites 'evolved' in environments suitable for pack animals, and thus it put them in a higher position.
Sort of. We got lucky because many of the large herbivores that happened to live where we lived were suitable for domestication. There is the llama in South America, but that's all. I can't think of a single indigenous large mammal in Africa which has been successfully domesticated. Once it was possible to move horses and cattle and the rest of our barnyard with us by ship, these animals have been raised pretty much everywhere. But Eurasians were lucky in having had them available to increase the workload an individual could contribute, in part because of the labor of animals. As Eurasians evolved cultures they were therefore able to support many more specialists, which in turn enabled the development of technologies.

Three cheers for the anti-white racist. :rolling eyes:
"anti white racist"......... seriously you dumb ass bitch? thats like saying im a racist but i love very single other race except black people... why don't you quit trying too defend white people and realize the massive amounts of colonialsim didn't come from africa, the fact that one of the worlds most popular languages is english isn't because of india.................... and except that white's as a race are more muderous than anyone else.....white supremacists like this fact and say they are simply the "best" at murder....are you one of those people???? it's okay if you are
Instead of cheering over thinking you found a reason to call me "dumb ass bitch," you could read what I already wrote, which would clearly show I neither defend white people nor favor them over other races.

It says nothing about "higher" position. What it says is the shape of Euroasia (Very long in the east - west direction) ensured there were a few very large zones of similar climate, pastoral and agriculture zones, which made it more conducive for commerce in material, ideas, technological advancements, and transmission in resistence to disease then other large land areas like Africa and America, which are long in the North-South direction but short in East-west direction, and thus segregated into numerous different comparative small, incompatible climate, pastoral and agricultural zone.
Also the geology of Euroasia supplies critical raw material for technological advancement where other places, like Australia and South America, didn't.

"having" a different enviroment isn't racist stating europeans are "better" human beings and here's why or answering "why are europeans better people" with a detailed analysis and an attempt in sound reasoning is.........many conservative writers even admit enviromental determism is very racist
.........again white people have tiny penises and have too fight and kill all other races because of this....... they are by far not peace loving........ if i killed everyone in my neighborhood and stole all their stuff am i more civilized? because of that act? no........ so why are white people?....... they are the most murderous degenerate race to ever exist
Fuck you. The book asked Europeans had guns, Africans and American Indians didn't. Why?
You can associate guns with "better racially", but that's your problem. He simply associated guns with "better conquest wise", which you would be more idiotic than the most moronic of nincompoop to deny.
What they had was better tools over all, which including those that can be used to murder. If you think better tools overall makes you degenerate, then may you become extinct and the rest of the world become even more degenerate.
BTW, It is hard to argue the Europeans were more murderous than other races. When confronted with the opportunity and means to kill someone to gain one's own ends, hardly can it be argued that other race would have dived into it with any less relish and lust than Europeans.
It's only when inferior tools caused them to become more the murderee than the murderer in a contest of mutural murder, that they squeaked about how much less humane the Europeans were. If the shoe was on the other foot, Europeans would undoubtedly squeal like rats just like the others, and the others would pontificate about how not only were they superior, but they deserved to be so.

For example, Nordic and Asian are by far the most economically productive, most peaceful, most intelligent, etc. And have the lightest skin.
The darker the complexion gets, Latinos, Arabs, etc - they are doing okay, but have more violence, less economic productivity, etc.
The darkest: Africa, still rife with dictators, Tribalism, Warfare, Superstition, Barren economy.
I don't mean to be racist or anything, but I find it hard to believe that after thousands and thousands of years, if all races are completely genetically equal, that you would think it would of equalised by now...

(This is from a Bangladeshi FYI) West Asians are very aware that pale skin is a good trait to have.
I don't know man. Like for example people in Russia all have light skin, but...
In contrast, I don't have much to show for, except for the arab countries who are quite civilized I'd say. Civilization has something to do with the present standards of civilization. For example, at the time of the Romans or ancient Greeks, anyone who was "not them" was considered to be barbarian and uncivilized. For example, it really makes sense to consider a tribe of gauls who dispense justice to criminals by stuffing them in wicker mans, and setting them alight as "uncivilized" despite them being of *light skin*, yet at the same time, considering the Nubians and Egyptians, people of considerably darker skin colour, as being quite civilized for their time.

Barbarian was a Greek word, not Roman. The Romans made a point of inclusivity as their empire expanded around the Mediterranean. A Roman citizen could be any colour.
