Are there any geneticists or biologists here who can explain how different the races actually are with regards to their achievement capacity? Is there any reason to believe that some populations are more adapted to civilization than others?

>> No.10090987

>>10090968

The answer is we don't know, genetics can't be ruled out, and as for environment, parental environment seems to have a minimal effect by the time people reach adulthood.

Natural selection continued operating to reward those who match up with non-reproductive metrics of "success" up until the industrial revolution, so it is reasonable to suggest civilization has had some effect, we just can't be sure what. Something as broad as intelligence, for example, is hard not to imagine being beneficial in EVERY environment.

Ignore this brainlet. Civilizations and technology are developing way too quickly to be explained by genetics. Differences in civilizations level are on the order of a century at most and that's not even taking into account other shit.

Moreover,

No there is no reason to believe some ethnicity would be more adapted to civilization, the firts reason is that civilization in evolutive time has existend for practicly no time at all, or not enougth to change shit, this idea comes from racists cunts who uses psuedo-science to support its retardation.

However some grupos of humans like have slight differences between each other but it really doesnt matter beacuse race biologically speaking doesnt exist dont be naive

Not a geneticist or a biologist. Have we had one here yet? Sub Saharan Africans have no Neanderthal DNA. I don't think I am a racist cunt.. but if you told me to find a Mexican who wasn't a (insert insult here,) I doubt I could find one. But that shit is probably because of my cultural views clashing with theirs. There are impressive ancient civilizations all around the globe, including the African continent. We are seeing countries that are not having their best century and making assumptions with the bigger lacking. I would love to see a "racist" biologist chime in. Eugenics was born out af Darwinism and was a science not long ago. Science has to tiptoe and be PC. And it may be an obstacle to progress.

Well, there's not much evidence to support a genetic theory, unfortunately. UK standardized test / achievement scores have destroyed the argument for good.
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/274165/SFR05_2014_National_and_LA_tables.xls

1. There's now only an 8 point IQ gap between blacks and UK whites (instead of the 20-30 point gap predicted by leading race scientists).
2. If you properly separate blacks by sensible categories rather than lumping them all together into one mega group, you find that the children of West African immigrants (e.g. Ghana, Nigeria) dramatically outperform UK whites, when they're not mixed with non-English-speaking amnesty-seeking Somalians or Haitians.
Thus the argument of absolute and immutable intellectual superiority of Whites over Africans has been unequivocally blown the fuck out. It was fun while it lasted though.

are these immigrants representative for their respective ethnic groups?

if not, you could claim european college graduates/millionaires/insert-above-average-iq-subgroup-here are more intelligent than the east asian everyman, therefore europeans are on average more intelligent than east asians.

if not, west africans in the uk should be compared to affluent, highly mobile european expatriates in other parts of the world.

I am properly educated in genetics but it really does not take proper education to understand that certain groups are more fit for certain environments then others. Just look at skull differences in humans, in one of Darwin's manuscripts he even states that the skull shape and other bones would have to change to physically hold a denser and more intelligent brain. Ask if you want something more in depth.

never posted there.

why would you assume i am from /pol/ when i merely pointed out flawed reasoning?

you are welcome to make a case for african average intelligence to be equal to higher than europeans', but you can do so by comparing a likely-far-above-average subgroup of group 1 to the average of group 2.

also, this is not a discussion about moral oder legal transgressions by europeans (or any other group, for that matter).

Learn to read Cletus.
It's an 8 point gap if all blacks are put against all whites.

If you just consider the group of blacks whose parents got the London the earlier and who learned English as a first language (i.e., they aren't handicapped while taking standardized tests), the gap actually reverses. How can that be possible given their claimed innate inferiority and regression to the mean? Clearly, the theory is wrong and can be discarded.

>If any animal were to increase or diminish... or if the mental powers were to be much increased or diminished, without any great change in the size of the body, the shape of the skull would almost certainly be altered.
Darwin in the Descent of Man

Pic related is the gentic diversity within the "single species" of Homo sapiens. As you can see the gentic diversity is huge. Enough to consider each race a different species. Of course we will have vastly different brain capabilites. The differences in simply iq is very high but still not a good representation. Many races excel at certain brain fucntions. Most notably chinease in arithmatic, jews in verbal acuity, whites in imagination/originality. Thus we are actually so vastly different. That is of course why our cultures are so different. There are so many markers which point to the great differences with humans and brain function.
