Is this an excerpt from an old conversation Glenn?
Here is how I would answer your question. Let us assume that there is a genetic contribution to violence (I am skeptical, but let us put that aside for the moment).
What that means is that crime commited by ADOS (American Descendents of Slavery) perhaps can only drop by 90% rather than 99%. Let us work on culture [relations before transactions], physical health broadly defined, mental health broadly defined, intelligence broadly defined, improved HUMINT and BIG DATA driven law enforcement, large numbers of drones and physical cameras in public spaces to lower violent crime by 90%.
Once we reduce violent crime by 90%, lets use DNA editing via KRISPR, biochemistry manufactured body tissue, medication, brain electrotherapy/meditation, psychodelic assisted meditation, brain sound therapy/music, brain computer interface and other advanced treatment modalities to work on the remaining 10%.
Regarding genetics, a small percentage of the world's hominid genetic diversity is among non subsaharan Africans. The large majority of the world's hominid genetic diversity is among subsaharan Africans.
It is hard to describe genetic traits applicable to subsaharan Africans in general. And the US ADOS population sample is extremely mixed genetically between different African lineages (DNA haplo groups), including with high non subsaharan African DNA admixture.
It is possible that some patterns/combinations of DNA alleles are associated with some physiological symptoms and conditions. We don't know a lot yet. However AI might hack it. I hope we let geneticists do their job. If they do, we can use CRISPR to edit the DNA of living organisms such as humans to improve the welfare of our species.

Can we all agree on this much?

Is there anything to be worried about?
