Growth in human group size as the cause of society’s challenges from possible gene pool signaling impact

2022-12-26

Abstract excerpt

<p>A short speculative hypothesis is presented implying that many of the ailments or catastrophes of human society could be due to primordial “gene pool” signaling, or due to gene pool signal degradation, as the growth of human social groups far exceeded the gene pool’s capabilities. Humans are considered as components of gene pools where gene pools have a “distributed intelligence” capable of signaling to all of...
