probably that race is real as understood by literally any the founders of quantitative genetics, taxonomy, phylogenetics and evolutionary biology.

We know there are various genes that encode for behavioural responses such as aggression, at the very least, and those genes responsible for aggression are more common in African Americans. We also know that Eurasian countries are far more successful and productive than African and South American countries.

Additionally, if human strength comes from intelligence, the winner of any war is thereby more intelligent. Ergo, the argument that Europeans are only successful because they oppressed the development of African countries is mute since the act of that oppression signifies higher intelligence because the tools used to win required a higher intelligence to be created.

There's also the obvious argument of environmental pressures and wars which led both European and Asian populations to experience a constant push towards intelligence while the Africans and Americans populations ran around naked for 5min and found something to eat and their wars were confined to small tribal conflicts.

Feel free to reeeee as much as you like since you don't have any counter.

If by "we" you mean your willful ignorance discounting centuries of research then sure, "we" know nothing

Race bait aside I find that this is something that all IQlets cling to. Against all evidence to the contrary people always assume they're just as intelligent if not more so than other people. If they're shit academically they are just "smart but lazy". If they know fuckall about anything important they are just "street smart". If they're dumb upper middle class thots they have "social intelligence" (while not actually being charismatic or popular at all).

Obviously it's because they can try bullshit something that is physically hidden while you can't bullshit with physical characteristic like height, muscle, facial aesthetics etc. If some brownskin tries to tell you he's attractive everyone in the room will immediately laugh at his poop coloured eyes and hair. However, this loser will still claim to be intelligent.

IQlets see people with good physical traits and they assume they must be lacking in some other domain. Since the majority of people are just average or below average by definition this is obviously a sensitive topic and the reason why we try to suppress so many studies on true genetic potential for intelligence.

>exactly the same
Negros have less brain volume and poorly developed frontal lobes.

>>10903040
>height correlates with iq
I find this very hard to believe.

>>10903020
Define intelligence

>>10903076
The ability to succeed at a chosen task not defined by strength or luck alone.

>>10903072
>height correlates with iq
>I find this very hard to believe
Then you'll find it really hard to believe that Japanese passenger cars sold in the US correlates perfectly with suicide via vehicle
We really need to stop importing those to solve the suicide epidemic

>>10903084
>a chosen task
So it's entirely particular to a specific task in question, or is your definition incomplete?

>>10903088
What? It covers literally every task. How is it incomplete? If it's not completely based on luck or strength than the ability to succeed is a product of intelligence.

Under that definition being good at snooker makes you intelligent

That the reason the human brain is so great is because it's one of the most plastic brains in existence, with less structural heritability than any other species. This then allows it to learn according to environment much better.

What's something we don't know about it?

>>10902928
>susceptibility/resistance to various maladies
Vastly variable within all races

>skin colour
Somewhat variable within all races

>eye colour
Somewhat variable among blacks, vastly variable among whites, middle easterners and south asians

>hair colour
Vastly variable among whites and among middle easterners

>hair texture
Vastly variable among whites and among middle easterners

>skull shape
Vastly variable among blacks (even though many are dolychocepalic, I'm not sure if they are the absolute majority, since they aren't nearly as much studied as white people) and among whites.

>brain shape
Wtf are you talking about?

>intelligence
Vastly variable among all races except for asians

What do you mean?

Bitch, we can't even drink the water on the opposite end of the earth without boiling it to prevent us from shutting ourselves to death.

People literally evolved a fucked up blood cell shape that has a significant chance of causing sickle cell anemia due to the presence of malaria.

Modern leftish philosophers tend to dismiss reason, science, objective reality and to insist that everything is culturally relative. It is true that one can ask serious questions about the foundations of scientific knowledge and about how, if at all, the concept of objective reality can be defined. But it is obvious that modern leftish philosophers are not simply cool-headed logicians systematically analyzing the foundations of knowledge. They are deeply involved emotionally in their attack on truth and reality. They attack these concepts because of their own psychological needs. For one thing, their attack is an outlet for hostility, and, to the extent that it is successful, it satisfies the drive for power. More importantly, the leftist hates science and rationality because they classify certain beliefs as true (i.e., successful, superior) and other beliefs as false (i.e., failed, inferior). The leftist’s feelings of inferiority run so deep that he cannot tolerate any classification of some things as successful or superior and other things as failed or inferior. This also underlies the rejection by many leftists of the concept of mental illness and of the utility of IQ tests. Leftists are antagonistic to genetic explanations of human abilities or behavior because such explanations tend to make some persons appear superior or inferior to others. Leftists prefer to give society the credit or blame for an individual’s ability or lack of it. Thus if a person is “inferior” it is not his fault, but society’s, because he has not been brought up properly.

We don’t really know how intelligent they were.
