what is the actual difference in iq between caucasians and subsaharan africans?

how much of that is genetic and how much is nurture?

>>14573515
The most likely theory I’ve heard is that the changing of the seasons and the need to come up with complex ideas to adapt has helped other races require more critical thinking in order to survive. In Europe you’d need to figure out how exactly to farm enough food and store it to be able to feed your family (and sell the rest to the village) over the winter.

In African there was never any need for long-term planning hence no need for critical thinking and higher IQ. If Jamal is able to kill a lion or tiger every day and Jaqueesha can pick fruit every day to use that to feed their family then it doesn’t matter if each of their IQ is only 80. If Jaykwon has an IQ of 120, but he’s weak and unable to kill any lions then he’s unable to feed his family and pass on his genes.

It’s 1-2 standard deviations on average which is definitely a lot. I’ve met “smart” blacks who still have terrible grammar and problem solving abilities. On the other hand the average “uneducated” redneck peasant could tell you the entire anatomy of his diesel truck and explain how to tell when each part is failing and how to replace it, as well as how to farm, build things, weld, etc. The need to survive under unique circumstances is what helped Whites build up their brainpower over thousands of generations.

The Aztecs managed to do quite well in paradise so I'm not sure if weather explains everything. Probably contributing though.

Ability to work together socially is an important trait as well. With division of labour, each group could focus on one aspect of staying alive for the collective good.

1-2 standard deviations on average, depending on the group. That is 15-30 IQ points.

15IQ points = power of 10

70 IQ = 10 times dumber than 85IQ and 100 times dumber than 100IQ

The aztecs weren’t able to figure out irrigation so every time they had droughts they would literally torture and sacrifice their own children.

Average IQ for whites is 110-120. There has been only one study into Africa IQ stats and it showed that the average was around 60 or 70 points. African Americans have an average IQ of 80, which explains why they are so impulsive and/or violent. It would appear that being a black and living among whites makes you more intelligent by around 10 IQ points. That is significant, but it can't bring you all the way up to the white average, so nurture doesn't account for everything. A study done in the early 2000s showed that nature and nurture are around 50-50, with slightly more going to the nature side i.e. 54% or so, but it could be up to 60% in some cases. This makes sense, when you think about it. Extremist Liberals want everyone to believe that nature plays no role and that it is all social. How could that possibly be so? And it has been shown time and again with twin studies and foster care studies not to be so.

The sources of these stats are spread out over the course of years. You can look up the average IQ of an AA. It is 80. From what I recall about the African study (it has been several years) the average IQ was 60, but OP says 70, so maybe the lower bound was 60. That is consistent with the statement that living among whites brings your IQ up by 10 points, from 70 to 80. Finally, the average of white IQ may not be 110-120. When I did an IQ test I got 120 and was told that that was average, but assuming this is wrong, then it seems reasonable to say that whites could have an average of 100-110 points, which is not too far off what I said and that is still a full 20 points above African American, which (and I agree with OP on this) is alarming.

How can average IQ for westerners be only 100 if Africans, who outnumber westerners 3:1, have an average IQ of 70 and the global worldwide average is set to 100 IQ?
If one very large group has an average of 70 IQ then that necessarily means that the average for the remainder of the world is going to be substantially over 100 IQ.
Can anyone straighten out this mathematical inconsistency for me? We live on a planet that is more than 25% African, if Africans have 70 IQ then the global average for the rest of the planet should be about 108.

That's the same kind of argument that IQ critics make where they point out how low-IQ villagers in Mumbambu can farm, hunt, make spears out of their own shit and knit their hair into power tools, etc., but still score low on IQ tests. Whereas high-IQ western whites struggle to go camping in their backyard, therefore IQ doesn't matter. When it comes to "street-smarts" and working with your hands, ofc redneck whites will do better than educated blacks (or educated whites), but at least in my experience, actual smart blacks are still just as good at academic shit as smart whites, and dumb uneducated whites (as well as dumb uneducated blacks) can't wrap their heads around how fractions work.

The differences are:
a) Fuck niggers. Them not being me means they fucked up and it's them fucking up, not me.
or
b) Fuck White people for holding ni I mean Black and Brown People to standards. I don't want standards because I feel like I'm garbage, and also I hate the world for, in my mind, judging me. Also I must be better than everyone, and yet I don't run everything, therefore fuck everyone I will inflict niggers on them.

That's roughly the two sides of the debate. I leave it to you to determine which is scientifically compelling.

I've been saying this forever. The people who do better on IQ tests have better education to begin with. that's always the case. Knowing how to sit down and take a standardized test from a young age makes a huge difference. Which is why giving IQ tests to literal 8 year olds in the guinean jungle (what Lynn and Rushton did) is bullshit and shamelessly biased.

We know that incrasing IQ on induvidual level is incredibly difficult and almost never yields any results and even when it does it is not a significant incrase, so the logical questions comes: Why would anyone believe that it would be any different on populational level?

>> No.14582577

The big point to make in regard of race&IQ critics is that they their basic argument can be boiled down to equity between racial groups, it might be never directly said but it is certaintly implied when the very idea that racial groups can have differences in cognitive ability is continuesly attacked.Of course by what exact mechanisms this supposed magical racial equality on biological level is supposed to have emerged is never explained.The fact that it would contradict evolutionary theory that would imply different adaptations to different environments is never addressed.It is also never demonstrated on testible data.All these critiques are not solid, they are sentimental, hysterical grudges pushed by bunch of cowards that are scared to death for the social implications of acknowledgement of certain facts by the general population, as it where to imply that the racial equality dogma that has been cultivated in the west since 60s is wrong.It would mean that politicians that have shifted reasources to minority populations in an attempt to get them on the level of general population where effectivly wasting the welth of a country, it where to imply that the political ellite that have flooded western world with mass imigration from 3rd world have been effectively ruining the country.Instead of having to deal with all of these issues it is much easier to just close ones eyes and shut ones ears and pretend like everything is okay.And as the onslaught of science will come by and eventualy triumph over the idiological ignorance the history will remember these people as amongst the biggest cowards that have walked the face of the earth.

>the real reason you have a vendetta against IQ is because yours is shamefully low.
Many high-iq people have a vendetta against IQ because
1A. At a macro level, it's socially in vogue to be against IQ and saying socially-acceptable things gets you stuff
1B. At a micro level, it's nice to sell people pipe dreams and make them like and listen to you.
2B. At a micro level, claiming that your success is due to the merit of your character and hard work sounds better than admitting it was handed to you at birth on a silver platter.
2A. At a macro level, selling the masses the lie that IQ doesn't matter is a great way to secure your station by keeping them from ever being viable competitors to you.

>IQ test are useless on legit human geniuses since they are most likely smarter than the very person who conceptualized the test but anyone dumber than the test maker can be accurately rated.
First high-iq comment on the thread. It has the midwit paradox that a low-iq result may indicate either a low-iq OR a high-iq, whereas a high-iq result can only indicate a midwit-iq. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RrreVthWRY&t=15

>What's a better way to measure cognitive ability?
What is the purpose of measuring, in the abstract, "cognitive ability"? That's as pointless as measuring a voltage with a single, ungrounded terminal. If you are hiring a house painter, measure the quality of his house painting. If you are hiring an art painter, measure the quality of his art. If you are choosing friends, measure the improvement they bring to your life.

Lynn data on sub saharian populations crap. It extrapolated from very small groups that ear not representative of the general population in the best cases and extrapolated from neighbouring countries at worst.

it is clear that the difference in IQ is non negligeable by how much that would require some actual decent studies.

I would just like to point out that 30 point in IQ difference could easily be explained by the poor education system in these countries, absence of proper health care, limited nutrition of the population and pollution.

That seemed like a plausible idea to me, a non-expert, but later I heard that this idea is now dismissed as nazi thinking. It was also used to explain why the early civilisations all were around roughly the same latitudes. Not sure what explanations we are left with now.
