Or maybe the IQ of African-Americans isn't representative of the IQ of Africans exposed to first world conditions

Face it anon, you're just another trailer trash skinhead (or if you're still living with mommy, that's where you're headed)

Go spam a different board like >>>/lit/ or something

>there's even the minnesota transracial adoption study where they tested adopted blacks against adopted whites
>due to confounding of social and biological factors, it was inconclusive in terms of determining relative environmental or biological contributions to racial differences in IQ – as the study's result could be interpreted as supporting either hypothesis
How is that an evidence again?

Because digestive enzymes have less plasticity than the brain does.

Here's another one showing they're only slighly dumber. I think it's from the same study, not sure though. Either way it shows the intelligence gap is essentially due to environmental factors, so OP has his answer.
If he wants to know more about it he can probably fuck off to >>>/his/

>some can be put down to cultural and socioeconomic differences, but not all.
Here's one flaw in your reasoning, invalidating your first four sentences, edgelord.
While phenotypical differences obviously do exist within different populations, admitting they're genetic doesn't mean we attribute a value to them. I'm pretty sure most people don't give a shit about Tibetans having better oxygenation in high altitudes or European being lactose-tolerant, cause those differences are quite negligible and aren't advantages in normal situations. Not enough to call for a civil war.
Also correct me if I'm wrong, but the gap in IQ, on the other hand, has never been proven to be due to genetics to my knowledge, and I'm pretty sure the concept of IQ in itself has little to no scientific value.

Why is there an I.Q. gap in the United States but not in Bermuda?
