I’m genuinely not trying to be insulting but your posts do not illustrate to me much of a grasp of history beyond what you learned in high school—keep in mind, we are close in age and grew up in the same area—I’m aware of the teachings of the day. Your posts do not seem to grasp how genetic traits are passed or the relation of such to ‘selection’ which has specific meaning in this context.I’m sorry that I don’t have the time to do all the relevant research to provide links that you might/might not read but: You really should do some reading about how slavery was practiced in West Central Africa ( and other parts of the world) compared with how it was practiced here in the US. Those who sold Africans into slavery had no idea nor any way of knowing what horrors would greet the enslaved people in the new world.
What makes you so confident that you know more about the subject than I do?
That I don't agree with you and point out things you post that are nonsensical? Like asking how slavery changed genetics?

I could be wrong: perhaps you are a scholar when it comes to history. I’m only making assumptions based on what you write on this forum.
