>You don't find better nutrition and sexual selection for height satisfactory? A few centuries aren't long enough for such marked selective pressure on a polygenic trait. >Value is not relative. It is objective, ontological, and teleological. I am conflating objective measurements (value) with subjective situational qualifications of the relevance of those measurements (also "value", kinda) because most people understand that I mean the latter. I acknowledge your pedantic correction of this conflation; please feel good about yourself and move on with your day. | ||

"A few centuries aren't long enough for such marked selective pressure on a polygenic trait." Are you sure? In extremis, if blue-eyed people (a polygenic trait) are considered absolutely unfuckable, I would expect them to disappear from the population in 10-15 generations, or at least become very, very rare. | ||
