>To what extent

What do you mean?
How is this quantifiable?

I believe that socio-economic factors are too deeply ingrained to perform any decent studies.

== Genetic Basis for Human Intelligence Confirmed ==
Genome-wide association studies establish that human intelligence is highly heritable and polygenic
Molecular Psychiatry; 9 August 2011; doi:10.1038/mp.2011.85

"Our results unequivocally confirm that a substantial proportion of individual differences in human intelligence is due to genetic variation, and are consistent with many genes of small effects underlying the additive genetic influences on intelligence."

"We estimate that 40% of the variation in crystallized-type intelligence and 51% of the variation in fluid-type intelligence between individuals is accounted for by linkage disequilibrium between genotyped common SNP markers and unknown causal variants."

== IQ Reflects Anatomical Brain Differences ==
Genetics of Brain Structure and Intelligence
Annu. Rev. Neuroscience; 2005. 28:1–23; doi: 10.1146/annurev.neuro.28.061604.135655

"Genetic influences on brain morphology and IQ are well studied. A variety of sophisticated brain-mapping approaches relating genetic influences on brain structure and intelligence establishes a regional distribution for this relationship that is consistent with behavioral studies. We highlight those studies that illustrate the complex cortical patterns associated with measures of cognitive ability. A measure of cognitive ability, known as g, has been shown highly heritable across many studies. We argue that these genetic links are partly mediated by brain structure that is likewise under strong genetic control."

not OP, but how could it not be quantifiable (theoretically)?

although i think >>4195525 makes a good point regarding any hypothetical attempts to measure the supposed quantity

what the fuck? you saved ALL my pictures??

Yup. Check the filenames too.

I totally agree with what you said: Neuroanatomical differences caused be differing behavior in glial cells and neuronal networks create different IQ's, and certain genetic factors can predispose people to being within a certain IQ range. Nevertheless, environment does heavily impact IQ as well. I put forth the following study excerpt by Rosenthal and Jacobson, 1968: "Elementary school teachers in Boston were informed by the researchers that their testing had revealed that some of their students were 'academic spurters.' The teachers were led to believe that these particular students were 'intellectual bloomers who will show unusual gains during the academic year.' In fact, there was no objective basis for that prediction; the names of these late bloomers were chosen randomly. However, by the end of that school year, 30 percent of the children arbitrarily named as spurters gained an average of 22 IQ points. Almost all of them had gained at least 10 IQ points. Their gain in intellectual performance, as measured by a standard test of intelligence, was significantly greater than that of their control group classmates who had started out with the same average IQ."

no zoom, have the updated version on me, hun

Race is just a social construct
/thread

>>4195575
Otherwise known as the Pygmalion effect: put great enough expectations upon somebody, and the more likely they are to do well.

race and iq.....you mean more like ethnicity and iq.....race is temporary!! fuck i need my pills!!

It's not so much race as it is culture.

You, sir, are a winner!

I believe their is no inherent link between race and intelligence, as race is just differing levels of melanin and possibly different environments, and that any difference would be circumstantial based on the quality of education they recieved, the preset societal expectations of them based on their race, either concious or subconcious. Names also have something to do with it, since I remember reading something about how your name can affect your perception of self, your behavioral tendencies, personality, etc., and names can vary by race also, for example Tyrone and Jose are not very white names.

Why U so squirming at reality?
