Midwits tend to be smart enough to figure out why the various races evolved and inherit particular PHYSICAL traits.
Black people have black skin cause of sun. Whites tend to have lactose tolerance cause of centuries of diet. Tibetans have high altitude genes cause high altitude etc..
But what they fail to figure out is that among a
Highly social animal such as humans...the society and the culture also is a necessary aspect if your 'environment'.
this might FEEL confusing to the midwit because it is kinda abstract I guess. But even if a midwit devotes some thought to this I think it ought to become clear.
if you are a species like humans who RELY on cooperation to survive...then your culture becomes even less abstract than the sun is to Africans.
And every community...every culture has its own rules about hierarchy, who reproduces, how cooperation occurs, etc.
Different races must necessarily have adapted to different cultures...being necessary for survival.
it OUGHT to be easy to imagine what happens to a community composed of different individuals with totally different adaptations and instincts about how to fit in and cooperate with their community.
