1. A variety of creatures have evolved in nature. Larger and stronger lions, tigers, elephants, giraffes, whale sharks... But they do not rule the earth, but are not so big. , Primates (humans) with less individual fighting power manage the earth?
2. Success or failure caused by tall
We know that in nature, animals usually do not use weapons, and they fight hand to hand. Large bodies have stronger fighting power than small bodies (the use of venom, high-voltage electricity, etc.). Among the animals that live in groups, whoever has the strongest fist (larger body size) is the leader.
White people in Europe and America are generally larger in size than people of color. It is these physical advantages that make Europeans burn, loot, loot and snatch wealth around the world, allowing Europeans to accumulate a lot of wealth (they rob Indians The people's territory established the current United States), and there is more time and money to develop education, etc., which makes Europe and the United States in a leading position in science and technology. This is the benefit of the early body size.
It is also said that the reason why white people in Europe and America are excellent is not determined by race - ethnographic determinism, but determined by environment ("Guns, Germs, and Steel" written by Jared Diamond talks about it). Either environmental or racial decisions make sense, but the environment creates racial differences, making larger species with greater individual abilities and making them more aggressive.
European countries, especially the United Kingdom, have colonies in many parts of the world. They are known as "the sun never sets" empires. Taking advantage of their physical size, they advocate democracy, human rights, freedom and other personal heroism in the colonies. A big man stands by a short man. In front of us, we are equal, and the short people feel greatly encouraged, but the leaders are still tall, and their large size is their natural advantage, which also makes European and American whites more willing to advocate freedom, democracy, and human rights.
And based on the fact that human rights are greater than sovereignty, a set of feasible social systems have been established, and they have indeed benefited from them, released human nature, produced many innovative ideas, accelerated scientific and technological progress, and accelerated social progress. For example, the United States allows people to legally own guns, ensuring that freedom and democracy are upheld.
However, in the later period, the society gradually developed into mental work. The height and size of the body are no longer the focus. Short people can also lead tall people. Because Europeans and Americans are too self-confident and cannot be restrained, it is difficult for them to form cohesion. Thus lost the possibility of further evolution.
China also took the opportunity to rise. China is a representative of collectivism (similar to multicellular organisms in the history of biological evolution). The Communist Party of China has a strong cohesion. According to the laws of natural evolution, multicellular organisms will explode, and single cells will take a back seat. Therefore, Europe and the United States will take a back seat, and the rise of China will be unstoppable. Europe and the United States have tried many times to block them and form various alliances. However, because of the freedom, democracy, and human rights they advocate, these countries will put their own national interests first, making European and American countries more important. When it comes to real interests, internal friction occurs, and it is difficult to truly unite. Therefore, their obstruction of China seems to be very powerful, but in fact it has little cohesion and is easy to disintegrate. Doesn't the French-Australian submarine incident justify the unreliable European-American alliance?
Therefore, success is also tall, and defeat is tall.
