Can you collect some new data? Like not from 1976? Also, maybe you feel okay generalizing on the basis of a sample of 56 adopted kids, I have a feeling there are some unrecognized confounders at work.

Those are the facts. This does not prove the difference is genetic. The difference could be cultural. Because they're black, they're discriminated against, which can negatively affect their study habits, IQs, test scores, and so on. This test has not accounted for that variable.

You do understand that what you just said enhances my argument and not yours right?
Let me simplify it:
Those kids who were half white scored better than those who were fully black even though they were considered fully black by both their parents and their peers. If they were discriminated against then they would be treated as black, exactly the same as those who really were fully black, but no one could differentiate.
For a scientist the least you could do is keep an open mind.

How about an N=2,400,000 of the SAT test?

>Frey and Detterman (2003) analyzed the correlation of SAT scores with intelligence test scores.[20] They found SAT scores to be highly correlated with general mental ability, or g (r=.82 in their sample). The correlation between SAT scores and scores on the Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices was .483 (.72 corrected for restricted range). They concluded that the SAT is primarily a test of g. Beaujean and colleagues (2006) have reached similar conclusions.[21]

What?
The test didn't include the variable of blacks being suppressed by society?
Those are measured BEFORE school, age 7.

All of the races, including South Asians still score same as whites, everyone except blacks.
All before school, socializing AND after that.
There is no excuse.

Blacks just have lower IQ.

>> No.3670863

You deny that IQ is an adequate test of intelligence. And potentially some analysis on the different education levels of the white/black parents who adopt their children. ie: white parents who choose to adopt may do so mainly for religious reasons, while black parents may mainly do so for economic reasons.

In any case, it doesn't justify racism because it's the mean IQ. There are still a large number of intelligent black people, and to say they are lesser people because of the color of their skin makes no sense.

What I'm saying is that in daily life you never meet the entire black population. You only meet black individuals. Therefore racism isn't justified.

I'm not too concerned about why black people under perform. In New Zealand, we have native Maori who perform badly in every statistic too (probably even worse than African Americans in USA). Perhaps it's partly a genetic thing. But it's also a society and upbringing thing. I'm not concerned, because it is most likely a mixture of both. I also don't find this topic taboo and exciting, most people I know can discuss this openly.

Because all Africans that left africa found themselves a new thing: harsh winters.
Something that africa didn't have.
So in order to survive a winter you must be smart, predictive, in general be smart enough to store food, build shelters that are good for environment protection etc etc etc.

Also everyone that left Africa interbreed with Neanderthals, meaning bigger brains.
Do the math and you will see why all races are significantly smarter than African blacks.
Even Indians, which can be as black as africans are on the same level as whites.

Care to back that up with an argument? It's called self fulfilling prophecy - when someone is told who they are so many times they believe and act in this way.

The IQ of all populations steadily increases as quality of life improves.

This phenomenonis most prevalent in poopulations such as African Americans more than any other ethnic counterpart.

As the environment continues to improve you see diminishing gains up to a biological plateu. This is corroberated by the evidence, most of the gains in the average IQ of the US come from an increase in the lower half of IQ standard distribution curve, you do not see the most intelligent groups increasing indefinately forward. This suggests that the most intelligent humans, regardless of race, were equally as intelligent today as 12k yr ago, but as standards improve the dynamics of populations and developmental needs are met well enough to bring more individuals in any populaiton to this plateu.

Guys guys, I've got it. All we've got to do to make Planet of the Apes happen is let a baby chimpanzee be raised by rich white parents. Then he'll get into harvard and be a molecular biologist and earn a decent living then he'll raise his chimplings to be just as smart and rich. The cylce will continue until Chimpanzees are on par with humans in terms of intelligence and we'll be able to coexist in peace.

I don't think most any scientists has ever disagreed that genes can influence intelligence just as genes might influence appearance or personality or anything else.

But I think peopole ignore that interbreeding populations can and do change dramatically over the coruse of generations. There are differences in genotypic frequencies between all populations, but no ethnic group has a monopoly on any given trait. As your civilization develops socially and technologically and living standards improve, breeding rations between poor and wealthy tend to decrease, approaching a point where the less wealthy (those among whom there will be a tendency to have hereditary traits that make them more sucessful, like something to influence higher intellect) have such a quality of life that they will reproduce just as much as the most wealthy. Eventually the rich and poor begin to have the same number of children per family. At this point genotype frequencies are maintained at a constant level. This will manifest in slight increase in the prevalence of "rich people" genes every generation, as a slightly lower number of poor people find mates, and infant mortality among the poor will be slightly higher, always "trimming" off the bottom of the distribution curve each generation.

It takes a long time, and major events like war and revolution and even genocide, as horrible as they may be, speed this process up by "culling" the population. But the dynamics of all human populations (none of whom have an outright monopoly on any trait like intelligence or creativity) change over time such that the average intelligence does increase.

Of course all populations approach the same biological plateu. We're all human and we all are capable of carrying the same phenotypes that influence intelligence regardless of what race we are.
You don't seem to grasp what the simple term "average" means. Every ethnic group spans the entire range of intelligences.
If Africans all had genotypes that help develop higher intelligence then they would be the most intelligent humans.

>Implying that IQs are affected by standards of living and not the other way around

This is more like /b/, not /sci/.

I'm no biologist(So correct me if I'm wrong) but humans AREN'T different races. Ethnicity is sort of like the black leopard and the standard leopard. The difference in this case, and one of the differences in humans is melanin.

There is variation within our race dependant on environment, this is a given (The reason why blacks are rarely olympic swimmers and the reason why whites are rarely 100 meter champions, this being because the Sub-Saharan African has had no need to swim and more need to run from predators.

This brings us on to intelligence... It would be foolish to think that the brain doesn't vary from ethnicity to ethnicity as each one has had to overcome different environments - Africans harsh deserts, Europeans and Asians harsh winters, and of course, the less adaptable are wittled out due to natural selection.

There's also the fact that Europeans and some Asians heavily interbred with Neanderthals, though the outcome of this is not well enough documented for us to make a solid conclusion, it is thought that this helped Europeans and Asians in the intelligence ranks, the Neanderthals then died out due to low fertility.

It's important to fully appreciate the concept of averages in order to draw accurate conclusions from this kind of data--assuming it's all 100% accurate.

It is an incomplete statement to simply say Whites are more intelligent than Blacks, and Asians are more intelligent than whites.

Let's, for the sake of argument, assume these kind of statistics accurately demonstrate genetic differences among racial groups that correspond directly to average intelligence. Notice, we are talking about a bell curve of an entire isolate population, or genetic group.

High and low end intelligence (and presumably the corresponding genetics) exist in ALL populations. The only difference is the distribution.

Anyone who seeks to use population genetics to draw conclusions about individuals has missed the point--either by being unnecessarily offended by one's own supposed inferiority, or erroneously flaunting one's own superiority)

If IQ is at least partially genetically determined, population genetics is still a bad reference point from which to make determinations about the genetic fitness of individuals.

Implied by the hypothesis, the most intelligent members of all population groups will have superior genetics than the entire human population as a whole, even if there are fewer such people represented in one racial group vs. another.

If you would rather have children with a dumb person from a "smart" race, than a smart person from a "dumb" race, you're not avoiding bad genes, you're confusing populations with individuals.

It'd be like not dating someone from an island with an average IQ of 80, but who himself had an IQ of 150, merely because he grew up surrounded by idiots.

If they had believed that those children were of a different mix and had therefore different expectation of them it would stand to reason from the environmental hypothesis that they're results should've been different whereas the study clearly shows that it they were not.
