Link between certain aspects of basic behavioural traits?

Question

Is there a correlation in certain aspects of human traits,whether it is gene related. People from dominating countries during the early 1800s invading into other nations. For e.g:Portuguese,British people have a higher degree of self respect and sense of command as compared to the invaded country population.These 'invaded country, people collectively develop a sense of inferiority.And it is passed through the years. Thus is it likely for people in the present age to show similar traits due to genes?

Answer 1

Interesting question. While evolution would indicate the the more meek people survived to procreate and their genes are what bring out the behavior, it is also possible and likely that the current behaviors are culturally imbedded from the time of the invasion or colonization.
