What does it mean to be Eurocentric? What does it mean to be a
white supremacist? What does the term ”the West” mean, and how is
it different from simply the geographical designation Europe? On
this episode of the Unsupervised Learning podcast, Razib discusses
the cultural and genetic origins of Europeans, how they have been
viewed over the last few thousand years and how they have viewed
themselves. Starting around 3000 BC, when the first Yamnaya men
were expanding out of the Pontic steppe and assimilating the
Neolithic Globular Amphora culture of eastern Poland, and going
down to the 20th century when the nations of the world were cleaved
between those aligned with the Soviet Union versus those aligned
with the USA, Razib addresses when conceptions of European, Western
and white self-identity could have emerged, and indeed did emerge.
Were the Classical Greeks white supremacists? Did the Spaniards
impose European hegemony on the New World? And when did the West
outpace the rest?
