Anthropologist: Xenophobic Danes think with the Stone Age brain
Our feet have been planted in the middle of a globalised world, but our brains haven't progressed for 200,000 years Dennis Nørmark writes in a new book.
Therefore we are afraid foreigners - and the Danes are worse than all others.
The sun bakes, the heat flickers, and on the African savanna hikes a crowd of Stone Age men peacefully forward, when a big animal turns up.
Maybe an ox, four legs, several hundred kilos of muscles and two horns gets up right in front, and the men react, as their brain has been programmed:
Here there is an obscure creature, it's dangerous, I go for attacks.
It's no longer.
But we still react with the Stone Age brain and begin with distance or anger, when we meet someone, who doesn't look like us.

I don't think its all about anger. I think its about completely different thought processes and ingrained culture,and of course too much sun or too little sun   |
"Simple is good" & I strongly dislike politics. You cannot defend the indefensible.
