r/K THEORY AND BIOHISTORY: A CULTURIST REVIEW (PART ONE)

by John K. Press

INTRODUCTION

Biohistory and r/K theory are two of the hottest new socio-biological theories. This article will summarize these theories.  The next article, part two, will compare and contrast them from a culturist point of view – that is with an eye to how each can help us protect, guide and revive western culture.  But first, we must know what each theory entails. So, this article will summarize them, without much commentary.
