As I understand Kevin MacDonald's work, he is mostly concerned with group evolutionary psychology, and for the most part genetics is not a big part of his thinking.

He tends to focus on Jewish writings about Jews and Judaism and should probably be more skeptical. He should also not venture before the 10th century CE because the writings about and from that period conflict too much with themselves. When historians try to sort it out, the historical reality seems quite different from the religious history as described in the texts.

I try to write political economy and find some problems with the language of modern political science, which does not address virtualization of state-like entities very well.

You might find it helpful to look at Judonia Rising in order to understand my perspective.

I don't mean to accuse you of being antisemitic, but I do find parallels between some of your insights and those of Dr. Kevin MacDonald.

MacDonald posits that one of the distinguishing traits Ashkenazim possess is that they are more "psycholgically intense" and more aggressive (even if it is only the verbal aggression & pushiness displayed by Dershowitz or Norman Finkelstein). In my experience Eastern Europeans, be they slavs or descendants of the khazars, are more aggressive and more psychologically intense than Nordic Europeans. I wonder if this is partly genetic?

I'm not saying I agree entirely with MacDonald's analysis. Some of his other claims may specious, especially with regard to genetic rather than ideological and cultural predispostions, but although controversial, he does offer a few insights:

Understanding Jewish Influence

One of the points MacDonald makes in this paper is that Ashkenazi Jews are more aggressive and intelligent than Yemenite Jews:

Is this true? Can some of these differences be attributed to one's genetic endowment? Interesting question.

This -- Jewish anger -- is an interesting topic, Joachim. Hope you can expand on it at some point.
