Genetics have already played out enough for people to kill based on them. Look at Hitler. Look at African civil wars. Look at the riots/revolutions against "foreigners" in Asia.
- ejstronge 9y agoI'm confused about your African civil wars comment - what were you referring to?
- skissane 9y agoI presume at least one thing it is a reference to is the Rwandan genocide.
- eru 9y agoThere were quite a few civil wars in Africa to pick. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Africa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Africa and search for 'war' to find a few.
- richardknop 9y agoSeveral genocides happened in Africa so he could be referring to one of them (Rwanda genocide as mentioned next to this comment is well known, recent genocide in CAR and so on) or all of them in general. Most western people are mainly familiar with Holocaust as the big example of genocide but there have been several comparable horrific events across continents (Africa, Asia and I think also South America).
- bilbo0s 9y agoI think what jessriedel is pointing out is that bullets, nerve gas, and machetes are a good deal more effective tools for a despot to use to eliminate a population than DNA.
- tw04 9y agoAll of those are obvious to outside observers and often invite outside intervention. This would allow them to cement their legacy with far less risk of being overthrown. Think nk or many of the Arab oligarchy states.
