Hitler was right all along, we have to gas the subhumans. The pure white race cannot survive while those apes leech off our great country's benefits while contributing only to crime. There were chances before Hitler, when our colonial empires brought glory and civilization to the heathen, but the scourge of liberalism and marxism killed our pride and feminized us, and now we're discussing social politics instead of ordering the black man to work on our new genius projects to spread the white race to the farthest reaches of the galaxy.

Because IQ measurement is based on relative comparison. Obviously shitty places with famine dissesses and poor education will generally lead to less intelligent people compared to someone in the West. I don't think anyone is denying that, but jumping to the conclusion that it must be because they are and inferior race is pretty dumb.

In areas like africa where there is mostly jungle and desert, there arent a lot of options for agriculture or domestication of animals for useful purposes. In the desert you are pretty much limited to camels, which suck at doing work, other than transport, and being food. Desert is also a shit climate to grow anything in. Without modern technology it is almost impossible for humans to thrive there. That leaves them with the option of living in the jungle, which has zero options for domesticated work animals, and very few options for agriculture. What the jungle does offer is food and water literally everywhere. You dont even need agriculture because you can walk in any direction and find food easily. The only problem with the jungle is it has apex predators like lions, and jaguar. The climate is warm enough to be naked in year round so there are almost zero problems that need solving to thrive in the jungle. The only attribute you need to survive, and pass your genes on, is that you need to be faster than the guy who becomes jaguar food. So thats what evolution selected for, athletic morons. Its a similar situation with native americans, although they had agriculture, they didnt have big strong DOMESTICATABLE (that is a key word here, bison dont make good pets) animals to do the heavy lifting for them so agriculture never advanced very far. Europe had problems that needed to be solved (cold climate, need shelter and food for the winter), and the tools to solve them (farmable land, large working animals). So the most successful way to survive and pass on your genes in Europe was to be smart and utilize the tools given to you to solve the problems that nature threw at you. So thats what evolution selected for. Out of shape white people who were smart enough to enslave animals to do their work. You see what i did there?

IQ measures your ability to problem solve, recognize patterns, and your logic and reasoning skills, which is something that education improves. I do believe that some people may have better problem solving or pattern recognition skills naturally than others, but these skills can be trained in the same way your muscles can, and this is what education is meant to do. For example, if someone struggles to comprehend a concept in a certain subject, they can practice this till they fully comprehend it.

Many factors limit your intelligence including genetics. Genetics determine the intelligence of next generations, thus a low IQ population. And due to their low IQs they can't utilize the land they live in and waste everything (eg: Africa, Middle east) and high IQ people stop throwing the bricks at each other and start building cities out of them(eg; Asia, Europe)

Africa is far more suitable for farming and anywhere in northern Europe or Russia. You have lands slowly transitioning from deserts to fucking jungle rainforests that you can find a sweet spot to do your farming.

Such a thing is almost impossible to know with current technology though. We can't subject a long-dead population to IQ tests, so until such time as we have a better picture of how genes code for intelligence skills, and which genes they are, it's just speculation. As far as I've seen, right now, the proof for the idea of a "genetic basis" for IQ is just about heritability, while no actual genes have been identified.

Right, that is what some of those articles talk about. And even more specifically how geographical spaces no longer segregate communities like they previously did creating different general genetic makeup. Physical geography, what language you speak, what color your skin is, what country you were born in are not determing factors for intelligence.

Right, i agree. But the argument doesn't stop there. They are trying to link the idea that your nationality necessarily defines your genes in relation to intelligence, which is incorrect. There is no evidence that the specific markers for intelligence are more or less likely to exist based on what continent you came from. Which is what all the articles i posted specifically state.

That is kind of the point. Humans are not animals. At one point geographical features were enough to separate groups of humans for thousands of years at a time, therefore developing a narrowing of genetic variation leading to what you might call a race or culture. Still happens with animals. The frog in my backyard will not find its way to china and add genetic variation to chinese frogs. Where as humans very readily move geographic locations, thus increasing genetic variation to the point where (and it is described in all the published articles above) there is little genetic difference between individuals of different skin color/geographic location/nationality/race etc...

And dividing the world up into discrete populations is also not scientifically useful. Rather a continuous descriptions is more apt for our now genetically diverse world.


And just for kicks since /pol/ can't make an argument to save their lives, ill post some links.
These make for fantastic arguments when taken out of context, just make sure to cherrypick.

im literally gonna quote wikipedia now.

Heritability estimates are often misinterpreted if it is not understood that they refer to the proportion of variation among individuals on a trait that is the result of genetic factors. It does not indicate the degree of genetic influence on the development of a trait of an individual. For example, it is incorrect to say that since the heritability of personality traits is about .6, that means that 60% of your personality is inherited from your parents and 40% comes from the environment.

Even a highly heritable trait (such as eye color) assumes environmental inputs which are required for development: for instance temperatures and an atmosphere supporting life, etc.

http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/members/homepage/45829.html

"There is an important meaningful distinction between explaining the variation among traits and explaining the causation of the traits"

this is why you cannot use a genius as an example to support the idea that the difference between black and white IQ is mostly genetic.

its possible to have within-group heritability for the whole human race to be 100% and for between-group differences to be very low. its also possible for within group heritability to be different indifferent groups of people. e.g. rich vs poor, americans vs indians.

Arguable, it can be accessed that not all humans are capable of similar thought process which is why some people are shown to excel in particular types of thinking such as visual or audio.

Oh, I misunderstood. We were talking about intelligence, so when you said "But from what we do know there are indeed genes that either do not appear in African populations or appear in such low frequencies that it is arguably to some negligible." I thought you were claiming that there were genes shown to relate to brain development and neurochemistry found to be absent in African populations. But the links you provided don't show that at all, it's about skin pigmentation, eye color, and disease adaptation genes. So it doesn't look like anything relating to IQ has been found in the genes themselves.

On the flip side, I did find out that some scientists think the Blue eyes trait in Europeans may be related to dealing with Seasonal Affective Disorder, so that's neat.

"Published Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS), reporting the presence of alleles exhibiting significant and replicable associations with IQ, are reviewed. The average between-population frequency (polygenic score) of nine alleles positively and significantly associated with intelligence is strongly correlated to country-level IQ (r = .91). Factor analysis of allele frequencies furthermore identified a metagene with a similar correlation to country IQ (r = .86). The majority of the alleles (seven out of nine) loaded positively on this metagene. Allele frequencies varied by continent in a way that corresponds with observed population differences in average phenotypic intelligence."

We actually do have consistent theories of why this happens to be like this, but our theories end up labeled as "racist" and "divisive". We are not allowed to carry out anymore tests which classify Human intellect based on race.

To preface, I would like to assert of the validity of non-verbal IQ tests as tools for measuring Human intellectual complexity, up to a certain degree. IQ tests are, by design, made to be knowledge-independent. Any alien creature would be able to solve an IQ test if they possessed Human-like degrees of pattern recognition. Grades differing by up to 10% are usually considered within the confidence margin of an IQ test. When grades start to differ by over 10%, especially in whole population averages, we take a closer look to estimate the principal factors.

In some cases, food and metabolism are the responsible agents for a lack of intellectual development. This is true in small tribal areas of South America, Africa and SE Asia. However, the pattern for race-specific IQ goes beyond that, as it was observed that this pattern persists even in people whose origins are African, but live in prosperous societies and privileged households. Interracial citizen had IQs on average higher than their African "pure-breed" alternatives. While this might be intuitive at first, because genetic admixture is known to be beneficial to a population, interracial citizen had IQs on average lower than their secondary race, suggesting that intellectual complexity evolved linearly between generations. These were all studies carried out in the 70s and 80s, as from there on out, these topics created massive amounts of backlash against them. We are however lucky to have 1 more set of data that provides a causality link between IQ and race, and that is cerebro-cranial dimensions. It was consistently observed that, just like IQ, Africans possessed craniums that were on average 10 to 15% smaller than other races'. [1/ Word limit, continued below].

This finding was also refuted by large numbers of academics, as correlation between brain size and computational complexity, while it exists, is relatively weak. However, the data is there, and the striking correlation between IQ and brain size should have been investigated further. This might have lent an interesting view into Human sub-population intellect and migration patterns. When there is a discrepancy, in science, you analyse and you attempt to get to the bottom of it. The bottom of it is often much more complex and interesting than what it appears to be. Sadly, because of academic and political pressure, this is the last of racial tests which were conducted.

The findings don't stop here though, and while it remains racist to make these connections academically, collateral raw data exist, and is starting to give us a better understanding of why such racial differences exist.

The most significant finding is proof of copulation between Neanderthals (N) and Homo-sapiens (HS). The genome between Ns and HSs is similar enough to make breeding feasible, and this was essentially a hidden renaissance for anyone interested in evolutionary intellect. If you look well at the map (while ignoring North America because it's a recent colony), there is an IQ gradient starting in Africa. In a way, there is some correlation between distance from Africa and IQ.

Let's talk about Neanderthals for a bit now. What do we know about them? They were smaller than HS. They were not as good runners as HS. But they had cranial capacities higher than that of HS, much higher. We are unsure if and how this translated into practical life. HS had evolved better weapons, while Ns seemed to have created musical instruments earlier than HS. From tomb structures and rituals, it was also deduced that Ns were much less social than HS and copulated much less, which might have been one of the leading causes leading to their extinction.

We're talking about Northwestern Europe and North America here of course... I don't care about Iberia and Eastern Europe.
IQ was always normed on the Brits, and most early testing was done there and in the US, and I think you would agree they had better living conditions than practically all of sub Saharan Africa today, yet still would score the same on today's IQ tests.

holy shit just go search "sentinelese" on fucking wikipedia, go down to where it says genetics and go see theyre fucking related to malaysians or some shit.

dude theyve done recent meta-analyses on brain size and find that it accounts for about 6 - 10% of IQ variation.

Neanderthal (N) remnants were found in Eastern Asian countries dating much more recently than ones found in the Middle-East and Europe, suggesting that Ns lived and copulated more with HS in East Asia. East Asians have around 20% more N DNA in them than Europeans. N genes may be some of the genes involved in Aspergers syndrome. There may be a link between N genes, brain size and human intellect. We will never know for sure because these studies will never be carried out, but future collateral data of psychiatric diseases associated with Neanderthal genes might lend us a view into this. /fin

wtf you talking about?

i read that neanderthals had bigger brains but their prefrontal cortex was less well developed than homosapiens.

That's what genetic admixture is about. You keep the stuff that suits you from the other race. Bigger PFC is better? Keep the bigger PFC. Got a larger temporal lobe? Cool, more memory and space for other shit.

It's not like we were fixated to an iron chair and subdued into have a cerebral transplant with Neanderthals.

The amount of IQ denialism and gene denialism on here is fucking disgusting. And yes, everyone here denies genes, which is why you are so desperate to just ignore them and say "no no, the IQ differences are clearly being caused by environment". Objectively speaking, you have no proof that environment is caused these differences, but there is far more for the genetic side. Poor African countries do depress intelligence, but that's only because their low IQ create such nations in the first place. Genes influence behavior, it's why certain animals, like beavers, evolved the type of behaviors that they do. A Beavers genes influences the type of environment they create with their behavior.
