I also see the interaction between culture and genes within our culture or history. I am a child psychologist and I see boys who just cannot sit quietly and deal with the paperwork of a classroom but if they were working as blacksmith apprentices they would be stellar students. Loud, physical, aggressive these aspects are frowned upon in our culture today. One step further is the super-aggressive kids I get referred because they are impulsive out of control trouble makers. But if we lived in a warrior culture, with swords and axes these guys would be kings. We have a few slots in sports for these guys now. Watch the interviews of Mixed Martial Arts or Super-motocross. Those guys would be locked up if not for those sports. In talking with other doctors we have a theory that this is related to a high threshold of stimuli, e.g. pain, excitement. I saw an interview once of a guy who just broke his arm, he was holding the broken arm and he was pumped about getting back on his motorcycle. In a warrior society, the meek, thoughtful, deliberate or reflective thinkers tend to die quickly. Thus a culling out of certain genes occurs. Today we tend to lock up our warrior class.

In genetics an odd gene is useful when a disease comes through and kills everyone without that gene. The rare gene or mutation acts as an evolutionary safety net. I have been trying to imagine a lingustic crisis in which a rare language would the key to survival. I first I thought of war, but seems more related to location than language. Could there be a brain disease that would only attack those brains formed by certain languages? If we had bionic computer-brain interfaces, could a softward virus or glitch kill off only those of a certain language? Maybe some rare language would be significantly more effective in using the bionic interface and those people would rule. What if I told the funniest joke in the world and everyone died laughing, except for those who did not understand? Has there every been a lingustic crisis in which language was the savior? Can anyone imagine a scenario in which a certain rare language might act as a mutant survival gene?
