It's been a while since I read about it, but it was an article about Chinese culture, and how the sons of a family had to compete, essentially, to get their parent's land (and subsequently be able to marry and raise a family). The losers had to go out and try to get land on their own. I might be remembering wrong, though, not an expert on ancient Chinese culture.

>>7442117
If you look at any Japanese Buddhist temple, it is a piece of art. The number of these top-quality art pieces is so large, that it is the norm.

However, the West is so impressed by there own exceedingly rare talent, that they hype it up so much.

All the Western hype over Western art is why it seems like the West is the best for art. But the East Asians just have higher standards; again as seen by their high quality and numerous temples.


Also, Sun Tzu "the art of war", is an obvious choice for an Asian who has a reputation. But you are probably too uncultured to realise there are many more examples.

>> No.7442132

Two main reasons:
1. Minorities who emigrate are self-selecting. The wealthiest, best educated, most entrepreneurial etc go abroad.
2. Authoritarian parenting. "Tiger mom" and all that shit and everything that goes along with it, including cultural expectations. I don't think that style of parenting is ideal -- but it's still clearly significantly better than the shitty parenting than other cultures have.

That doesn't explain why the average for countries where people are emigrating from have higher IQs than the countries they are emigrating to.

It makes sense that they would emigrate to countries with lower average IQ, so they would stand out more and be more successful.

Genes which increase dendritic branching, resulting in more connections, lead to Tay-Sachs later in life. However, Tay-Sachs is recessive, requiring two mutant alleles, whereas increased dendritic branching may only need one to be greater than normal.

It's another case of the advantages of being heterogenous at a locus. Same thing with carriers of only one sickle cell allele and their malaria resistance; Jews have higher frequency of alleles which cause greater intelligence, but also greater burdens of genetic nervous system disease.

my parents managed to make it pretty high up in china.

and end up being able to emigrate.

hence i had an opportunity to start in a western country.

they knew how much they went through to get out here, and made sure i knew too.

as such i appreciate opportunities more than the average local.

side effect is, the stress and the anxiety tends to leave longer lasting effects.

Also, Ashkenazis come from a lineage that can be traced back to about 350 individuals.

The genes for intelligence in homozygous and heterozygous individuals, also cause disease in (usually) homozygous individuals.

>>7443455
>>7443462


A study found that 40% of Ashkenazis descend from four female ancestors by using mitochondrial DNA, and that these women were from a Hebrew/Levantine mitochondrial DNA pool.

That's just 4 who are middle eastern out of the about 175 women (if you assume half of the 350 were women). It's likely that the vast majority of Ashkenazis are middle eastern, and their own distinct population.

There is recent evidence that perceptual processes are influenced by culture.

Obviously since East Asians are more intelligent; those raised in an Asian culture, and those adopted and raised outside of an Asian culture. We can assume that their combination of genetics flourishes in inferior environments (such as the West), but that their culture which shaped sexual selection and other types of cultural propagation of the most intelligent is the better culture of East and West.

>It's not much of a stretch to say they're White.
Apparently, according to your own source, the majority of Europeans are actually of Middle Eastern descent.

So Europeans are closer to the Jews and the Middle East, than the Jews are to the stereotypical White. So even then, you can't claim that Jews are White. You may be able to claim that Whites are the less intelligent offshoot from a common ancestor shared with the Ashkenazi though.

Since it is unlikely after a split from a common ancestor, that Jews and Whites intermixed again, given that your own source again says that

And thus that they very rarely had children outside of their group.

http://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1004401

Even if we accept that the mitochondria of significant proportion of the Ashkenazi come from Europeans, given that mitochondrial DNA is only passed down the maternal lineage, it could easily have been a very early occurrence that wouldn't have been subject to population frequencies like chromosomal DNA is due to the contribution of two different sets of haploid DNA to an individual.

Further, using Y chromosome polymorphic markers, it is likely that Ashkenazi Jews are more closely related to other Jewish and Middle Eastern groups than European populations, and only about 11.5% of Ashkenazi men have a Y chromosome belonging to the dominant Y chromosome haplogroup from either ancient Khazar (who contributed to the Eastern European populations) or Eastern European populations. Which suggests a small number of non-Middle Eastern contributions to the Ashkenazi genetic profile, if any at all. And again, the mitochondrial lineage could easily be Khazar, and the mitochondrial lineage would have been passed into the European population, given the size of the group of ancestors of the Ashkenazi sub-population, relative to the Eastern European population at the time.

https://www.familytreedna.com/pdf/Behar_contrasting.pdf

Any small contribution of genetic material from Europeans (if any) in the distant past has been "diluted" out, and can be seen in the differences of genetic rates of diseases between Ashkenazis and Eastern Europeans, for example Tay-Sachs is very rarely found outside the Ashkenazi group, and any cases have been linked to de novo mutations

Well a common thing I have seen people post on /sci/ about evolution is that Congoids, Caucasoids, Mongoloids, etc, all evolved seperated. That they are separate species.

Scientific publications have shown this to not be the case. So people try to claim that a significant enough difference between races constitutes the emergence of a new species or sub-species.

Given this scenario, I think that Asians would be the most robust group. One of the highest intelligences, whilst having one of the lowest risks of disease (genetic disease, cancer, etc).

It depends on what you mean by purity.

If we take a group of highly intelligent individuals and create a selective pressure for intelligence, and prevent them from reproducing outside of their group, after several generations, the group will have a difference allele frequency than the original founders.

These alleles would tend to be those which result in greater intelligence. Selective pressures may be things like the more intelligent individuals earn more money, and can have more children; perhaps sexual selection against less intelligence members of the group, resulting in less offspring from them.

Similarly, in the case of Ashkenazis and some East Asian populations, a less intense selective pressure has been present for many centuries, especially given their cultures attaching value towards intelligence and education (such as literacy)

whites who adopt asians might be systematically different than whites who adopt whites
or the whites up for adoption might be systematically different than the asians up for adoption in such a way as to affect their intelligence, all apart from their genetics (this seems a lot more plausible to me)

to build on this a bit I have some exposure to the child and family services in my region. the kids who are getting adopted out come from some seriously fucked up situations and have been in those situations through childhood.
the asian kids that get adopted come during infancy. they don't get maladaptive socialization and they are 100% screened for stuff like fetal alcohol syndrome or cretinism or what have you

This is so dumb, there is no reason why they are smarter besides cultural discipline. Through discipline you can basically achieve anything.

People just want an excuse for why they aren't as smart, but the only excuse is, you're a lazy piece of shit who isn't disciplined.

Of course.
In the developed world, the difference in average IQ between East Asians and Whites, is equivalent to the difference between Whites and Blacks.

Once stormies get rid of blacks, and China rivals the US in military spending, we can expect the Ashkenazis in government to help eradicate sub-115 IQ whites (aka 84.2%)

Someone will point out to you iq and academic testing.

But something to keep in mind is that for east asian populations especially in china and japan they have had national testing for a number centuries. So there is a question of if they are really smarter than everyone else, just really good test takers or their cultural method of rote learning exploits loopholes in the current education system.

Obviously they're not smarter than everyone else. Ashkenazis are smarter, with a greater average IQ

>> No.7454779

> It controls for cultural methods.

Yes and no, it controls for the adopted children's methods but not for their ancestor's methods for which has had a genetic (population selection) and epigenetic (trait reinforcement) effect on their genes.

All adoption does is remove them from those pressures not undue the damage that's been done.

>> No.7454792

>>7454779
I agree with you there. People are often unaware or overlook epigenetics.

Epigenetics can rely on genetics quite heavily if a mutation which results in greater IQ (such as axonal and/or dendritic growth) results in a non-functional change to the protein coded, but alters the ability of epigenetic modulation to up-regulate, down-regulate or silence a gene.

For example, a axonal/dendrittic growth promoter with no CpG sites due to mutation will be less regulated than an allele with many CpG.

East Asians may have mutations which allow favourable epigenetic modulation.

Secondly, it is moronic to think genetics is the only contributor to IQ. Obviously culture affects IQ.

IQ is a product of environment, genetics, and epigenetics.

But genetics can contribute significantly to IQ such as in Ashkenazis with sphingolipidoses. Sphingolipids impact axonal and dendritic growth, so Ashkenazis with heritable sphingolipidoses are going to have more growth and a greater IQ; as have been observed by clinicians

First off can you not use IQ it is a dirty system that no one likes due to it's wildly inaccurate testing capabilities. It was only meant to be used as a tool to see if someone needs help from special needs programs not as a measure of how smart someone is. A population with low IQ can still be the greatest architects or artists or engineers if they are also gay and not do well on conventional intelligence measurements much less an IQ test. Genetics does play a role in intelligence yes but it doesn't matter as the only reason it would be useful to know that black people are on average +/- % smarter then indian people would be if we were doing eugenics. At that point though it's much more logical simply to test each embryo first for the desired markers. Especially with CRISPR out.

I agree with you about CRISPR. Once it is sufficiently safe, we can help many people.

I'd be interested in seeing your sources about IQ being inaccurate.

It's been shown that burden of disease strongly correlates with national IQ, suggesting a mechanism for the Flynn effect.
