If the IQ gap is purely environmental then where are the flood of studies controlling for these factors that show the gap disappearing? I've never seen a single one

It seems to be that if the gap were primarily socio-economic, there would have been a rash of studies showing this instead of just excuse making and bashing of articles that show the gap persisting.

As far as I'm aware there are none

If the IQ gap is purely socio-economic then why hasn't there been a rash of studies controlling for socio-economic factors and showing the gap closing entirely?

Why is the racial intelligence gap so taboo? The ancestors of Eurasians left Africa 70,000 years ago and have been diverging in wildly different environments to the Africans left behind 1/3 the time modern humans have existed.

Can we have a legitimate discussion on race and IQ?

Can we have a legit discussion on race and intelligence?

Can we have a legitimate discussion on race and intelligence?

No "B-but racist!"

No n-bombs

Just a legitimate discourse on the impact of tropical climates vs harsh winters along with factors impacting evolutionary divergence

Can we have a legitimate discussion on race and intelligence?

No cries of "B-but racist!"

No N-bombs

Just a discourse on how 70,000 years of evolutionary divergence may or may not have impacted powers of reason

The true unfairness comes in telling everyone they're equal by mere fact of existing

Can we have a legitimate discussion on race and intelligence?

No cries of "B-but racist!"

No dropping the N-bomb

Just a discourse on the role of selective pressures on the powers of reason

I would really like to have a legitimate discussion on the racial intelligence gap.

No racism, just facts.

Why can't we have a legitimate discussion the racial intelligence gap?

Why is the racial intelligence gap so taboo?

It makes perfect sense that there would be an intelligence divide between the races. Europe has fewer predators but requires a lot more impulse control and forethought due to harsher winters. Therefore intelligence would be more selected for

Think there's no religion in science?

Bring up the racial intelligence gap

So can we have a legitimate discussion on the racial intelligence gap?

And no, asking the question is not racist

Why is the racial IQ gap so taboo?

I mean, it's just basic evolution. Human races diverged for 70,000 years in wildly different environments. It was going to apply different selective pressures

Bringing up the racial IQ gap is not racism

If facts are racist according to your worldview then it's time for a new worldview

Why is the racial intelligence gap so taboo?

It's basic biology. Different environments apply different selective pressures

Why is the racial IQ gap so taboo?

It's basic evolution and there's no reason to think that the powers of reason would evolve identically in such drastically different environments.

Not sure why the racial intelligence gap is so taboo. It's basic biology

Two populations diverge in wildly different environments that apply significantly different pressures. Not only that but the ancestors of Europeans and asians interbred with Neanderthals, which would have driven hybrid vigor.

Thanks for proving my point, mods

A topic isn't 'garbage' just because it's politically incorrect

Why is it impossible to have a legitimate discussion on the racial intelligence gap?

Why is the racial intelligence gap so taboo?

The idea that the powers of reason and intelligence evolved identically in two such starkly different environments is nonsense
