first of all shout out to Serious for posting this in the vegi thread. if there was already a thread on this doc, my bad



[EDITED BY LIU KANG, LINKS DOWN]

dude has some interesting theories. I'm sure it will interest people here. basically he thinks that racial inequality is mostly just based on the geography of where people settled. 'europeans' had better/more crops and domesticated animals, and therefore their society progressed faster

opinions? (yes that's 3hrs of documentary, but it is good)

More interesting is how he explained that the geography of Europe promoted nationalities and the competition between.

I think that, more than anything, it was the competition between Europe's nations that led to their accelerated growth during the last 600 years.

My theory is that europeans had to depend on technology more to survive. With the harsher climate, this lead to more emphasis on utilizing technology for all kinds of things.

Good documentary, and its a good read props...

Why didn't the eskimos and siberians develop the best technology ever?
