Why did it go out of fashion to relate skull shape to predict intelligence? I mean a sharper mind obviously needs a larger brain which obviously needs a larger skull.

It's still used in forensic anthropology. It never went "out of fashion" in real science, only in political "science".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensic_anthropology#Determination_of_ancestry
>Determination of ancestry
>The determination of an individual's ancestry is typically grouped into three historical groups, Caucasoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid. However, the use of these classifications is becoming much harder as the rate of interracial marriages increases and markers become less defined.[33] By measuring distances between landmarks on the skull as well as the size and shape of specific bones anthropologists can use a series of equations to estimate ancestry. Typically, the maxilla is used to help anthropologists determine an individual's ancestry due to the three basic shapes, hyperbolic, parabolic, and rounded, belonging to the three historical ancestries, Negroid, Caucasoid, and Mongoloid respectively.[34] In addition to the maxilla, the zygomatic arch and the nasal opening have been used to narrow down possible ancestry.[35] A program called FORDISC has been created that will calculate the most likely ancestry using complex mathematical formulas.[36] This program is continually updated with new information from known individuals to maintain a database of current populations and their respective measurements.

Oh, really? Here's an actual text written by a professor in the field:

>http://www.uic.edu/classes/osci/osci590/1_0CombinedArticles.htm
>Measuring human physical characteristics-anthropometry-was the main research activity of the first anthropologists early in the 1800s. A major focus for the early anthropometrists was the skull. Cranial capacity, jaw structure, the angle of the brow, and other criteria were analyzed in great detail. Although the focus and application of physical anthropology have changed from its early days, anthropometry remains a useful research tool for paleontologists engaged in the search for the origins of the humans species. Variations in skeletal shape and bone structure are vital clues to our prehistoric roots.
>Some obvious traits are skin color, body size, and eye color. Less obvious, but more easy to quantify are biochemical traits such as blood type and genetic differences.

>anthropometry remains a useful research tool for paleontologists engaged in the search for the origins of the humans species.
>remains a useful research tool for paleontologists

Society never affects science though right?
But a new, long-term analysis of SAT scores has found that, among applicants to the University of California's campuses, race and ethnicity have become stronger predictors of SAT scores than family income and parental education levels.

You come along trying to disprove a point OP hasn't even made by talking about one other random animal, out of the millions of animal species on Earth. Even if you were to step up your game and compare a few different animals and get some sort of trend going, you are still completely forgetting the brain:body ratio. Even if you compared brain size and brain:body ratio for a whole bunch of random animals, its still irrelevant because we are talking about human brains.
That said I think you would be hard pressed to find such a trend in the animal kingdom, I am going say that brain size and/or brain:body ratio does positively correlate with intelligence generally.

You bring up a very good point.
I think in these types of conversations the left leaning participants don't see that such things could ever have serious implications. I mean the only people who worry about it are crazy racists from /pol//.
But this idea that everyone is equal goes into making fundamental policy and shapes the way we look at the world.
The same people see incomprehensible problems in Africa and think, 'all we need to do is do what we did in the West and everything should be better'. And we have tried to do it, charities and groups like the UN are particularly guilty. Of course it doesn't work and you actually end up hurting people more then if you did nothing.
Best example would be South Africa. Blacks inherited a fully functioning nation with impeccable infrastructure and everything a Western peoples could ever need. Take a look at South Africa now, it speaks for itself.

Go ahead tho guys, live your life under the assumption that everyone is equal. Worst thing that can happen is some niggers in Africa get their lives destroyed because of your misguided interventionist policies.

>Are you religious or something ? Is it one of those "god created all men equal" bullshit again ?

The main problem with human diversity theories is that humans are just not very diverse.

Hi sci

med student here, inb4 doctors are just 'human health technicians' with no real scientific formation.. i know, it's true, no one understands disease theoretically anyway, we just know some of what works and doesn't through trial, error and accident

anyway, im caucasian, evidence suggests asians are the master race, im okay with that, im married to a caucasian, we're still useful and euro-colonial civilization is pretty advanced

dont get so mad guys

Are you retarded? What the fuck do think people who study physiology and pathology do?

Just because most doctors don't practice medicine based on evidence doesn't mean no one is in research.

But it is true. Stats say it all. Blacks are less intelligent than whites. Muslims are idiots who only know how to fuck goats and kill each other. It's not even prejudice, looking at merely Nobel prize winners we can see they have contributed close to no shit to science.

inb4 Nobel prize is lame

You're just giving the worse examples and attributing them to the whole population. Yes intelligence-wise black people achieve less than white people, yes there are muslims who does that and shit, but by generalizing everyone into a single adjective you are discounting the individual value of these people. You can find black people in universities much smarter than the rednecks in louisiana. You can find decent hard working muslims everywhere but they don't show up on televisions unless they create a bad example.
So sure, you can talk about statistics, but "blacks are dumber than whites" and "muslims are goatfuckers" is .factually wrong.

Oh right, I see how establishing a claim which generalizes a population isn't judging an individual before you interact with them.

"Geiser considers several possible explanations for the increasing impact of race and other socioeconomic factors in predicting SAT scores. One that he takes seriously is the possibility that links growing rates of "intense segregation" in high schools, with more minority students attending high schools that are overwhelmingly minority and poorly resourced. For instance, the percentage of what researchers call "apartheid" schools -- those where 99-100 percent of students are nonwhite -- has doubled in the last two decades, and now represents one in 14 high schools. So the impact of race and class are, in many cases, combined for the minority students attending those schools."

Your own source goes against the racist bullshit you're spewing.
