Humans all have basically the same facial movement in response to emotional stimuli, across all cultures. This falls in line with [[biological essentialism]]. Cultures vary wildly in violent behavior among people with similar Y-DNA, as well as globally, which falls in line with social construction theory. However, there are more countries with people of E3* Y-DNA haplogroup in countries with the top 50% of violent behaviour, which falls in line with biological essentialism. | Humans all have basically the same facial movement in response to emotional stimuli, across all cultures.

Social constructionists often explain human behaviour as socially determined by wealth and political power. Whereas biological determinists and racialists would state that the poverty/politics and associated ill effects are a direct result of evolution, and economic poverty is likely to be permanent in homogenous E3* Y-DNA haplogroups.
