How easy or hard would it be to develop a systemic bitterness issues to a whole well-rounded system of hate worldwide including historical events?
Also, humanity is similar genetically for all practical purposes. Sure, our genes may not be spelled the same for every locus (area), but nonetheless, the genes are in the same place at all times... These do not shift in 200-500 years. It takes more than 2-5 millenia to change, it at all. And modern humans are thought to have been on this planet for 15-20 millenia--150,000 to 200,000 years.
Here's a question, how genetically diverse is the European human population? And how dissimilar are they from Neaderthals or Cro-Magnon?
