“Europeans have three times more Neanderthal genes for lipid catabolism than Asians or Africans" is a claim in a reputable journal article. Researchers have concluded that the Neanderthal men and archaic Europeans lived next to each other, and that led to some interbreeding which took place. The archaic Asians (Homo sapiens) probably interbred with the Denisovans (who were hominid contemporaries of the Neanderthals). Hence, the archaic Europeans (Homo sapiens) probably ate more meat than the archaic Asians. This would lead to evolution and culture of more aggression to catch the meat for regular consumption. This work looks at the current evidences. This would explain that other than the Mongols, the other groups that were world leaders (in terms of land mass controlled) came from the European geographical area and the Middle East. This outcome resulted from wars and conquest. At the current time, the popular thought is that the Homo sapiens from Africa met up with the Neanderthals somewhere in the Middle East, probably in locations on the Eastern Mediterranean coast. The mix then went on west and northwest to the European continent. The Homo sapiens who left Africa and went on up to Asia, did not meet up with that branch of Neanderthals. In Asia, the Homo sapiens are thought to have interbred with the Denisovans (who were hominid contemporaries of the Neanderthals). The gene discovery has been theorized to be a function of the location of the residences of these archaic Europeans and archaic Asians. Hence, the archaic Europeans (Homo sapiens) probably ate more meat than the archaic Asians (Homo sapiens). The perspective of the current author is that the genes have led to evolution and culture of more aggression. It is more necessary for Homo sapiens to be faster and quicker enabling them to catch/ kill the animals for regular consumption on a repeated basis.

One question in anthropology that is relevant to the current work is the relationship between the archaic hominid, Neanderthals and Homo sapiens. Two 2016 papers which recounted the sequencing of Neanderthal DNA from fossil bone were hopeful. But the two research works came to dissimilar conclusions about the Neanderthals. Wall and Kim re-examined the data from and concluded that the data from one of the published works was incorrect. The possible reason is contamination with modern human DNA, which caused deductions from one of them to be suspect. 

To help achieve harmony and accord amongst the nations which populate the permanent seats on the U.N. Security Council, it is good to study and research through the sciences and social sciences, some of the predispositions of the peoples of the Americas, Europe and Asia. Nations from the continents of Africa and Australia are not on the U.N. Security Council.

Through a systematic review of the evidences, the main conclusion embodied in the title of this article has been deduced. Firstly, the genetic information of the Neanderthals and European Homo Sapiens has been used to deduce that the Asians are predisposed to eat less meat than the Europeans. As a consequence, it is the perspective of the current work that this characteristic leads to a predisposition of aggression amongst the Europeans, relative to the Asians. Then, the history of the paleo natives of the Americas is examined. This is followed by looking at the lyrics of many national anthems, including all five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council. Lastly, the artificial meat producers of the Western Nations are reported; a modern scientific pursuit not given high priority in other nations around the world. There is also a quick reference to the number of more Intimate Partner Violence incidents in the USA, as compared to the Philippines, for instance. This may be owing to the better reporting capabilities of the USA as compared to a developing nation like the Philippines. On the other hand, it could also be because there are actually more events of Intimate Partner Violence. The Philippines was a former colony of the USA, and have adopted many governmental and military systems from the USA.
