Science proves that people from warm states (i.e. the south or California) are stupider than people from cold states.

>“Relations between average temperature of each of the 48 contiguous states and estimates of state IQ were inspected. Additional state variables were controlled in the correlational analyses, namely gross state product, percent Hispanic, Black, and Asian in the state population, and the pupil-to-teacher ratio for each state. A significant correlation between average temperature and state IQ was found (r = -.70, p < .001). Possible explanations are discussed.”

can we extrapolate this data to finally agree that niggers are stupid and whites are the superior race?

Actually born in Idaho, which has a warmer climate than you'd expect for its geographic location (according to wikipedia).

I'm Canadian, so according to this study I'm smarter than all of you.

But thinking reasonably, people in warmer states get to enjoy the weather a lot more, tons more activities to do that could distract them from school. Colder states are more prone to stay indoors and with less time consuming activities out they would study.

Anthro student here.

Africans had a tougher history with the constant search for food and water. Only a small percentage of africa is arable and with little water their was quests to search for them. Also add Large beasts that dominate the watering hole so building settlements nearby would be stupid.


Whites have vast arable lands (almost all of europe) Fresh water and building materials. Creating agriculture was easy and with that the quest for markets and science built on.


Also feel pride in your own accomplishment, don't glue yourself to some man who lived 300 years ago who couldn't give a rats ass about you.

Wow you're right. Actually your genius perspective gave me an idea. Lets place some people in soemthing like a -20000000 degree celsius freezer, and see how smart they become after 20 years.

Did you know that a similar way of thinking existed in the 17th century regarding the influence of climate on populations? For Montesquieu, people from cold countries were more reserved and more pragmatic than the passionate people of the south. Guess what? It is not! It influences, but it's not just that!

Stop your reductionist tendency.

>implying that temperature is the relation rather than being the south of amurkia

[Anonymous No.2690829]

obviously this study is showing that stupid people are responsible for warmer climates -> stupidity = global warming

Not my fault you didn't know that −273.15°C is as cold as it can get.

Despite the efforts of many, some still cling to the hope that /sci/ is more than a cesspool of science flavored /b/, religion threads, racism, and /new/sances.
