Abstract

This paper revisits the macro-level relationship between human genetic variation (genetic distance and diversity) and economic development. If other continents were biogeographically more similar to Eurasia, their populations’ capacities to ward off the adverse effects of European colonization would have been much higher and, thus, their economies considerably more prosperous today. At the continental scale, genetic differences between people do not matter for comparative development.

动物与经济发展的史前起源

本文从宏观层面重新审视了人类遗传变异(遗传距离和遗传多样性)与经济发展之间的关系。如果其他大陆在生物地理上与欧亚大陆更相似，那么它们的人口抵御欧洲殖民不利影响的能力就会高得多，因此，它们今天的经济也会繁荣得多。在大陆范围内，人与人之间的基因差异对比较发展并不重要。
