Did the Mongolian conquerers ever felt guilt for massacring entire towns and cities? Why does modern day armies pussy out over the idea of murdering the enemy’s citizens and gets “muh PTSD” when the Mongolians didn’t have such a problem?
Read about their internal conflicts before asking online, kthxbye.

dad go to church. yesterday you were complainig that we are in 3 wars
Mongolians didn't have to face machine gun fire that could turn all your comrades into ground beef in seconds or artillery whose noise alone could rattle your brain and rupture your eardrums. Also they were actually allowed to get spoils from war as comfort instead of a small paycheck after being sent into the meat grinder.

PTSD is a psychological effect, back then, soldiers knew they were safe in the headquarters/encampment, so they could sleep peacefully. With the development of long range artillery, no one is no longer safe everywhere, even in the rearguard, this develops and state of constant alert, which degrades the mental health. Basically is an effect of being engaged constantly in war, while in ancient times, war was only on limited battlefields,

Any war had to stop for winter anyway. So mental burden from vigilance would be lessened. And for nomads war and peace were mostly nominal differences. Inter-clan blood vendettas tended to drag over decades, with multiple separate groups of foes at once, so someone who grew exposed to that burden would have it easier to experience a conflict of more imposing scale. More of the same is less taxing than something completely unknown before.

And that's a relative term, because any instance requires an "anchor" to compare to. Kin to whom? My mapping of kin is different from yours, and that's the same for anyone else. Without basic level of math you can't grasp the concept at all, so it's possibly futile to post this here.

Expressed numerically, kinship is based on the number of generations to the last common ancestor. The higher that number, the less of kin you are to each other. It's up to you which particular value is enough to call that not-kin already. Maybe that would explain why I hate enmuttification so much. Because kinship is also stronger with the percentage of common ancestors in the generations prior to that last common one being higher as well.

Get some existing genealogical tree and try to count overlapping lines of descent from the same ancestor drawn with different colors. It's too difficult for me to express in easy words. Print a large ancestral tree and get some colored pencils. Or do that in imagination, if you manage. A line in two different colors is metaphorically twice as "thick" as one in a single color. That "thickness" of shared ancestry between two related people is also an expression of their kinship.

I dislike spoonfeeding. Notice that FST variable measures differences in "total genome", not in "the coding part of genome" specifically. Figure that out for yourself what significance that might have and what differences might be there if you only look at that specific part and why that might be important. Any up-to-date genetics textbook should be helpful, I guess.

They don't but they pretend to. it's a way to stop other countries from being effective at war, so the US can keep it's world hegemony through "rules based order". For example if not for the US threatening sanctions, North Sudanese would've eradicated the southerners and kept their country intact, but since they couldn't it got split. Of course the more split weaker countries the better.

>Whole genome sequencing has established the mutation frequency for whole human genomes. The mutation frequency in the whole genome between generations for humans (parent to child) is about 70 new mutations per generation.[87][88] An even lower level of variation was found comparing whole genome sequencing in blood cells for a pair of monozygotic (identical twins) 100-year-old centenarians.[89] Only 8 somatic differences were found, though somatic variation occurring in less than 20% of blood cells would be undetected. [citation needed]

>In the specifically protein coding regions of the human genome, it is estimated that there are about 0.35 mutations that would change the protein sequence between parent/child generations (less than one mutated protein per generation).[90]

Notice the dates of publication for studies cited above, all over a decade ago. Wikipedia is somewhat outdated because that's a volunteer project. I guess there are some later studies on the same issue published somewhere, using better refined equipment and methodology.  Learn to distinguish between mutation rates in somatic cells and germline cells in the greentext above. And not all non-coding DNA mutations have to be benign, because some of them can contribute to possible nondisjunction during meiosis later, for example.
