Liberty's Torch: Home Truths Continued: Race And Realism: When a people that has adapted over the millennia to set of conditions X migrates to a region where conditions X do not hold, the adaptation process might logically be expected to change. The migrants would begin to adapt to the conditions of their new homes. This, of course, assumes the usual “all other things being equal” proviso. But all other things are seldom equal:
The migrants probably possess a different level of energy, tools, and knowledge than their forebears;
They must compete with the previous residents of their new environment, who are better adapted to it;
The previous residents will almost certainly attempt to co-adapt to their new neighbors.
���� The analytical complexity is staggering. The outcome cannot be foreseen. Only one thing is certain: things will change, for both the previous residents and the migrants.
