In this week’s “big” video, we return back to the Manthropology well, and discuss how old “Two Gun Bob’s” conception of human evolution (in particular social/cultural evolution, with a tip of the hat to EO Wilson) is substantially more accurate than the leftist crap that your average leftist anthropologist gives.
Hello, I’m Larsen Halleck. As I have alluded to in several works I am a huge fan of Robert Howard. His rich and sensuous descriptions of exotic civiliations, his stirring and hyper-masculine prose descriptions of battle…he singlehandedly revived my love of literature after spending the better part of a decade reading the…emasculating “reee I hate white people” bullshit they give you in public school.
But we’re not here to talk about his literary merits, we’re here to discuss how…he’s an anthropologist?
Yes, let us discuss those aforementioned ‘sons of Aryas’— because the idea is more accurate than you would think, and new research actually reveals that…well…the idealized and half-bright fictional anthropology that Bobbo writes about is…actually more accurate than some theories that any given cultural anthropologist has been pushing for the past several decades.
What theories am I referring to? Particularly those that pertain to the proto-indo-europeans (or the Yamnaya people), the corded ware culture that arises around 5000 BC, and the spread of indo-european languages. Or as they might have been called in previous years, the ancient Aryans and the battle axe culture.
In short, there is a grain of truth to the fever dreams of Schopenhauer and Gobineau, and more than a few grains of Truth to Robert Howard’s somewhat less white supremacist take on the issue. But note that I say GRAIN of truth—while they are more a curate than the view that has been the consensus for decades, it’s still not entirely accurate to the new research. But we’ll get to THAT.
The best way we can discuss this is to look at the original theories, the reaction to the theories, and the most recent reaction to the reaction. And whenever relevant I’ll flex my vocal muscles and read passages from the Howard bibliography.
In the 1700s, when Europeans were first making inroads into India and other Asian countries, they noticed a most curious thing—that there were quite a lot of similarities between the Hindi language and European languages: loan words, similar conjugations, and similar sounds that would suggest a common root—to cite one example, the Indian fire god Agni sounds oddly similar to the word ignite, inferno, etc.
