The Eureurasian (Northern, Aryan) cradle is characterized by:
  a.Hunting gathering and the looting economy (search, kill and collect food)
  b.Nomadic- land occupancy (land ownership)
  c.Patriarchal family (family ruled by man)
  d.Citizen- State as the largest unit governmental autonomy ( Individual Citizen, City, State, Nation)
  e.Xenophobia (fear of people)
  f.Individualism (do things alone)
  g.Ideal of war, violence, crime, and conquests
  h.Pessimistic religious or metaphysical systems  (God is angry at humans/ humans cursed)
   
  In contrast the Kmtyw (Southern Meridional) cradle has these features:
