This is fun stuff. Sitting in my dump truck, moving dirt around, talking about the theories of life.
Pissing off Leewong.

They may develop a new strand of bacteria in their gut to extract more nutrients for food or something similar so yes...they may end up being able to eat less than the humans you see there today.

There are a few factors which offset this though:

1. It isnt a static population locked to one environment. Humans move from one country to the next all the time. It isnt just starving African genes being passed to each new generation there. Some generations will lack food and some not so much. If we walled off Africa for a million years and starved them all it would be far more likely that they would develop traits to suit that environment.

2. Africans are very numerous. When you have a massive population, genetic drift takes longer to permeate through the entire species. Small populations change much faster than a large one.

I am sure there are quite a few factors that I am not accounting for but you get the idea.

Government and Religion. Both people trying to tell you how to run your life and get money from you at the same time. They came up with religion so people would be fearful of doing bad things in this life and be punished for it in the "afterlife".

Yeah, because atheist anarchists would clearly have a great society

You've just described Penn and Teller running the world

No get it. I have already determined in my life not to get offended at other peoples perspectives.

But it keeps me on my toes.
