Byzantium: Romanity or Barbarity? Part 2- Race, Epigenetics, and History

In this video, we explore how the definition of race has evolved and how Spengler's own historical philosophy is an antidote to the biological determinism that has affected racial polity through the 20th and 21st century.

What role does the environment have in determining genetic racial markers?

Is race a social construct?

95% of what's said in these video essays is not my words. It's all readings from various resources.

Also, shout out to @ashalogos9221 whose aesthetic I have always admired and (shamelessly) utilized for this video/thumbnail. I don't agree with him in everything, but I have always appreciated the work he puts in and his willingness to speak truth.
