Rushton explained the problem in terms of r/K-selection theory. Blacks hail from a more adverse environment than do Eurasians (because in Eurasia, once you've mastered dealing with the cold, life was pretty fine, especially since the bugs go away every winter). As such, those whose immediate ancestors hail from Africa tend to have shorter lifespans—partly from their own inability to navigate dangers—and hence evolved to give more consideration to more immediate concerns. This includes gathering status quickly and often violently, and less investment in each offspring in favor for more opportunity for sex—with more partners—to have more offspring. Whites and Asians on the other hand—with longer lifespans and hailing from more predictable and stable environments—tended towards the route of maximizing their exploitation of the environment, where long-term planning and fewer offspring with heavier investment in each was a better bet. |
