Interesting. Can you summarize any of the arguments?

Individualism by Macdonald argues that over the past approx. six thousand years Northwest Europeans have been genetically evolving in ways to support egalitarianism, individualism and meritocracy. From the Indo-European aristocratic individualism to modern liberalism.

The Uniqueness of Western Civilization is an extremely pro-Western book that shows the unique traits of white people such as scientific curiosity, risk-taking and how this has built the greatest civilization in world history. He's extremely critical of postmodernism and its constant undermining of western accomplishment.

Blueprint is basically a recent book on the "Nature over Nurture" debate that stresses the importance of DNA in shaping who we are.

A Troublesome Inheritance argues that humans have evolved tremendously since splitting off into different racial groups. As a result, each region of the world has developed independently from a cultural perspective, but these cultural differences also have a genetic basis. It was a highly controversial book, but I'd definitely recommend it as it does explain many aspects of human evolution.

I support western culture and law, but I don't see what that has to do with race. I don't buy the theory of cultural evolution, which is itself is a postmodern theory.

I would still rather attribute individual advancements to individuals. Perhaps Europeans have more scientific curiosity because the men who invented our modern Science were largely European and highly educated. Arabics invented our modern mathematical system. Does that mean only Arabics can understand math? If an intellectual revolution happens in a geographic area, should I attribute the theories to the mountains?

You didn't invent science, so it's not like you can take credit for it just because you're white. Be proud of intelligence, be proud of high culture, be proud of organized society, be proud of science. You can contribute to those things.

Don't be proud of your genetics. You had nothing to do with that.

Not like I believe human evolution either.. Humans are created beings.
