Ok, since that's how it works. Let test specific groups in specific places and if they test, as the "racists" say, lesser than average on some kind of test, we have the right to say that those specific groups in those specific places are inferior than others in such and such attribute.

That's a cute theory you have, except the actual data disagrees with him.

IQ has been shown to be hereditary. In the case of adoption, children have IQs closer to their genetic parents than to their adoptive parents, and that alone pretty much blows your theory of IQ being cultural out of the water. Also, even though IQ does fluctuate with income and access to education, if you compare people across the same income level or same education level you STILL see the same differences in IQ by race.

Literally the ONLY way you can claim IQ is cultural and not genetic is if you purposefully avoid actually looking at the data. If you enjoy science enough to come here on /sci/ you should be disgusted at yourself for being willfully ignorant to support a political agenda.

The thing is, racism isn't inherently incorrect. You'd have to be willfully blind deny that races exist and that physical differences exist between them.

>African environments feature extremely dry seasons, frequent drought, and famine

Those are catastrophic conditions that you can't really resolve and are very hard to adapt to. Or at least they did not adapt to them well at all.

Harsh but transient winters can be adapted to with sufficient effort and ingenuity, and really force you to think. But if they are too harsh and too long you will be limited and stuck in a perpetual survival mode (Eskimos)

Yes but it had greater pressure in Europe and Asia which accounts for the obvious disparities between countries and races.

We're lucky that that's not how genes work.

You could for example receive a gene for a bigger brain but retain your own genes for brain density.

Mixed breeds in dogs for example can result in a bigger dog than either of the parents were for example

You should consider your own ideology too. It tries to ignore, downplay and undermine real racial differences.

Reality is intolerant, unjust and unfair. Chihuahas can not run as fast as Grey Hounds.

Different races respond differently to medication, they have different immune systems and disease incidences; race-mixed offspring are more susceptible to disease and behavior problems due to genetic non-compatibility, races have very different hormone levels which influence behavior and psychology.

Study the diversity, it's fascinating.
Pretending that all races are the same is factually wrong.

>The most important thing in San life is water. Droughts can last many months and waterholes may dry up. When this happens, they use sip wells. To get water this way, a San scrapes a deep hole where the sand is damp. Into this hole is inserted a long hollow grass stem. An empty ostrich egg is used to collect the water. Water is sucked into the straw from the sand, into the mouth, and then travels down another straw into the ostrich egg.

I never claimed to do any such thing. But I certainly believe for meritocratic reasons that it is wrong to judge individuals as such. Market economies are a sort of cultural selection enforcer. They have recognized the value of judging the individual as a priority over all other categories.

It's a mistake to assume because some genotypes did experience unique selection pressures, then all genotypes must follow suit to a significant degree.

Even if we compare dog breeds, we experience a bit of observer bias when the differences are most obvious to us. But even then two dogs from different breeds are still almost identical with respect to the vast majority of genotypes. In most capacities, that they're both dogs is all you need to know.

What reinforces your incorrect belief is the fact that those differences that were selected for happen to be related to outward appearance (skin color, nose shape, eyes, hair, body-type) and are most apparent to us.

My point is there are enough exceptions to the rule that I question whether living in a cold place will necessarily select for higher intelligence.
There's little evidence that harsh environments in Africa did not select as much, especially considering our intelligence did evolve there.

There's a million other things we want to know too. Like behavior characteristics, physical ability, genetic predispositions and disease rates, mental ability etc....

Grey Hounds are faster than Chihuahas, sorry.
Dalmations are genetically predisposed to various disorders (only 70% have normal hearing).
Some breeds drool a lot more than others. Some breeds are more tame and docile, some more energetic, etc...

Human races have various differences, I'm not sure why we try to downplay them or ignore them. Strange
