  What if some of the traits we see in people from Europe, Africa, and Asia—particularly in India [ Dalits or their so called Black untouchables] —are in today's world of free education / much improved scientific chivalry and honesty from even European/ Arab/ Asian ETC scientists blatant manifestations of deeply embedded Neanderthal genetics, subconsciously influencing behavior even today?

In civilised societies, personal mail carries sensitive information that should be respected. Rarely do people send cash or valuables anymore—yet the act of stealing mail reflects a level of wickedness, ignorance, or detachment from the values underpinning a modern, functioning society.  When someone violates this sanctity, it shows a fundamental disregard...
