Here's an extract from an interview with James Watson, one of the men who discovered the double-helix structure of DNA, in 2007:

>He says that he is “inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa” because “all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really”, and I know that this “hot potato” is going to be difficult to address. His hope is that everyone is equal, but he counters that “people who have to deal with black employees find this not true”. He says that you should not discriminate on the basis of colour, because “there are many people of colour who are very talented, but don’t promote them when they haven’t succeeded at the lower level”. He writes that “there is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically. Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so”.

Is he right?

What do you think is the best explanation based on the data that is available?

Considering that nutrition plays a huge role in development and we don't have much in the way of research into intelligence across races that corrects for differences in nutrition, I'd say the answer is "Who the fuck knows, not enough data."

And that's not even touching things like lead poisoning, which has only declined relatively recently and even then somewhat unevenly.

The answer is actually no. We know that intelligence must involve a very high number of genes, and we can measure the overall genetic diversity of humans. Even if 100% of genetic differences between races was all located in genes for intelligence, it wouldn't account for a large IQ gap. You would have to have hundreds of genes all have very largely clustered amounts of allele frequencies. We simply don't observe that.

>> No.8677203

>>8677159

Intelligence isn't an average of every contributing gene. You can't just say "muh diversity of genes" without talking about the effects of each expressed gene in their different variations. If you have different selective pressures, you will have different combinations of alleles that will end up being passed down more frequently than other combinations.

Why is retardation one of the most common kinds of birth defects? There are many more people with gene defects that make them retarded than people with gene defects that make them born with no arms or with no toes.

You can make theories about why your preconceived notions might be true all you want, but what we observe in reality is that intelligence seems to vary a lot on a genetic level, even if you imagine that there are only 2 levels of intelligence possible; normal and retarded.

>> No.8677228

>>8677203
We've been search for genes related to intelligence for about two decades. We thought we found some, turns out we didn't. We still haven't found a single one, and the statistical power of modern genetic analysis is staggering. This discounts any possibility of a single or small number of genes that have a large impact. We will without a doubt found hundreds of genes that all play a small part.

Select pressure has nothing to do with it... You clearly do not understand evolution. Natural selection only acts on a small number of traits at a time, and never without a lot of pressure. That would lead to extinction. There is no evidence that intelligence has ever been selected for in humans in any particular environment. In fact, it was our ability to make tools and clothing that allowed us to overcome selective pressures and leave Africa to begin with.

We already know that genes contribute to:
>Differences in skin colour

Apart from the fact that cultures in colder parts of the world have proved to be much more inventive (European, Asian, Inuit humans became much more innovative, much less generally aggressive, and much more co-operative, than those in Africa - that's because co-operation and innovation were needed to survive in these tougher climates).

Here's a question. You accept that we have bred dogs over many many years to select for different behaviour, don't you? Although whether you accept it or not, it's true. CLEARLY, then, *behaviour*, if nothing else, can be passed down through genes. It stands to reason that different ethnic groups, with vastly different phenotypical features (skin colour, hair texture, skull/facial structure, etc.), could very well have different genetically determined ranges of behaviour, then, doesn't it?

So how can anybody be confident that such intelligence-determining genes, numerous in number, are EXACTLY THE SAME across all population groups in the entire world? Or another possibility is that these population groups have different sets of intelligence genes, but yet they just HAPPEN to produce the EXACT SAME RESULT regarding mental capacity.

Wrong, I think. They imagined a [somewhat] working "microscopic" MODEL for Reality; to describe and to explain what we see happening in the macroscopic world, with our eyes.

HOWEVER, I think the model of dna (rna, replication, ribosomes, five ribose--and all that other chemical stuff about my physical body) is brilliantly imaginative. It is infinitely more interesting science fiction than all the "other science fiction" that's displayed in the science fiction section of book stores and libraries.

>He writes that “there is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically.

Of course! [Inherited] Ignorance, circumstance, environment, cult-ure (if it exists to a significantly detrimental degree) and caregivers. It is reasonable--it is compassionate--to think that all of us are inherently good (intelligent and competent) on the inside: but cause and effect is real and many people are mentally-stunted (vampires) or brain-dead (zombies, that can't be fixed) because of these influencing factors. It's that ignorance is so ugly and disgusting, that most of the time it's hard to face.

There are intelligent people in all self-id'd race and gender, and it's only reasonable that there would be only a small percentage in the world who have common sense intelligence (not merely idiot savantness or lacking coordination and technical aptitute).

Average intelligence is not very important though. For a civilisation to emerge you dont need very much high iq people. how many scientists, in all of human history, have made all the significant discoveries? 10.000? 100.000? 1 million? definetely a very, very small number compared to the overall population. Point is, most of our intelligence will be wasted anyways. You only need very few smart people in a society. The much more important part is how well can these intelligent people live out their potential?

So the negroes probably have way less highly-intelligent people, than whites, and whites have way less of those, than asians. But that really doesn't matter, because much more important is the kind of system these people live in.

A genius who is born in a tribal village will never fulfill his genius potential. A quite smart, but not genius person born into a wealthy academic family will probably make some contribution to science, although his potential is much smaller, than the genius's in the tribal village.

Yes, human intelligence if determined by environment and if the environment is simple of course humans from simpler Africa would be braindead compared to the more cognitively challenging Europe. Neanderthals are more evidence that Europe makes hominids become smarter overtime because they are probably the only pure hominid species that has intelligence on par with modern humans.

The african blacks however are an example of how braindead the original humans were infact black people might be smarter than the original humans so they were truely fucking retards in Africa until they migrated into temperate climates forcing them to get smarter. The dumb humans that stayed in Africa only got a slight cognitive bonus over time. Where as the temperate humans went from 56 to 100, the african humans went from 56 to 68 or 72(depends on the african country).

Interesting black people are not the dumbest humans one earth, the inhabitants of Papua New Guinea have adult IQs in the low 50s and live in a rainforest simple climate like black people. Even more interesting is the fact that while some blacks managed to build simple civilization, the New Guineas TO THIS DAY are still in the stone age. A close cousin of the New Guinea is the Australian Aboriginal another human group that is dumber than black people.

Surely the desert climate should have made the Abos become smarter but I suppose if you spend too much time in the jungles your brain is fucked for good.

Another example can be seen with Native Americans, notice how the inhabitants of South America are very stupid compared to North America, this is because once again the jungle climate actually makes humans stupider overtime, as the native americans are idiots compared to their closest cousins the Siberian Yakutst in East Russia.

You will also notice that North East Asians are smarter than South East Asians that also in a jungle climate.

Indeed, all of those groups should be included - and notice that almost all of them had very advanced cultures - Arabs used to have highly advanced cultures and contributed to maths and science. Persians, the same. And Indians too - they were building brick buildings almost 2,000 years ago.

Regarding coldness, yes I suppose you are right. I also mentioned toughness though. One could argue that leaving sub-saharan Africa in the first place (according to the out of Africa theory that scientists generally seem to agree upon, see pic) presented challenges that those who left had to respond to. Those who settled in the arid land of north Africa / Saudi Arabia (who would eventually become Arabs) would have had significant challenges getting food, compared to those in the grassy jungles of sub-saharan Africa, for example.

How's that defence of the black man holding up? I'm sure he'll let you participate in the society of the future - as long as you give him your 50% of your salary for reparations pay, oh and as long as you let him inseminate your wife because she'd rather go with big athletic black men than a pale, subservient white guy like you.

Of course you'll be raising the half-black child out of your pocket. That will be your new social role. To raise the black man's babies. Do you like cuckoldry per chance? Don't worry, you'll learn to like it.

Definite proof does not exist to show genetic racial differences in intelligence, but viewing the world without considering the genetic influence of genetics makes no sense.

No successful, advanced black society has ever existed and no satisfactory explanation for the IQ-gap/ differences in achievement seems to be available. Even if we were to prove black people are genetically equal in intelligence (thank god), it would make no fucking sense how a population that we dump tons of fucking money into continues to kill each other and be largely unemployed/criminalized because frankly, the way the winds have been blowing in society the last few decades I really don't think the ethereal, intangible "privilege" forces cause it.

Stop it. IQ tests don't ask what a parlormaid is; there's no cultural or language barrier to IQ tests. They're not an objective measure of intelligence, but intelligence has no objective definition, either. IQ tests are reasonable measures of intelligence for certain purposes, and correlate well with other measures of intelligence for similar purposes. Just because the distribution of IQ scores for certain demographics aren't the same doesn't mean people are going to commit genocide based on this information, so stop claiming that everything is racist and trying to explain away disparity in terms of social factors.

As a black person intelligent enough to find moderate success in a traditionally "hard" STEM field, I would probably say that racial differences in intelligence (at least among racial groups in the US) caused by non-cultural, non-economic factors are negligible if they exist at all.

You quite literally have no clue of how severely toxic modern African American culture is (namely that among young people); if you haven't been forced to participate, you can't know more than what you see (and what you would experience is, in fact, much worse than what you see). As somebody who still participates from time to time by nature of being black and having black family in predominately black areas of the US, I constantly have to fight notions of being "corny" or an "Uncle Tom" because I opt for a STEM career over something flashy, illegal, or obnoxious.

It takes character traits beyond intelligence to even start to rise out of the muck that is culture among the common denominator of black people today. Before we start trying to make policy motivated by some 5-8-point IQ gap between whites and blacks in the US, I suggest working to rid black youths of the degenerate culture that ultimately ruins them. This culture runs so deep and is advertised so vehemently that even blacks raised by white people are constantly affected by the ridiculous definitions of "blackness" that they're forced to swallow.

There's more to it than that even. Drugs definitely lower cognitive ability. Depression definitely lowers cognitive ability. Mental illness runs rampant in African-American communities untreated, and that certainly does not help. The culture, I think, has little to do with it, and is more of an expression of underlying phenomena than an actual "mover" in and of itself. Not to mention the very real stereotype threat.

This explains the disparities between rich blacks and rich whites as well. Mental illness doesn't just disappear when you amass wealth, especially when so many of us end up getting rich off of music or sports. Drug use doesn't just cease. So the disparities are very believable.

Drugs and mental illness certainly are a factor, but, again, as somebody exposed to it, it all relates back to the cultural perception of drugs and mental illness. (Namely that drugs are glorified and mental illness is played off.)

Also, the disparity between blacks who made money from sports and others at similar income brackets only reiterates the problems of the culture. The culture encourages the pursuit of money, but it doesn't encourage genuinely constructive pursuits. I'm sure you've heard this before, but, while money may remove the person's body from the ghetto, the mind may remain.

Personally, I tend to agree with that second group. Even if it would benefit the world to ignore IQ tests, does the end justify the means? I agree it's probably entirely cultural, or almost entirely.

He's partially right but the problem is economics (a field in which he is not proficient in) has in the majority of cases played out on uneven terms in all forms for thousands of years. Entire theories and models have been built on how different parties have/should react to this.

So unless he wants to get into a much bigger argument that would require him to cross over into multiple different fields outside his expertise it would've been wise for him to think about his comments before he goes public like that.

Not saying he shouldn't have an opinion but now he's crossing into armchair scientist (or economist in this instance) territory where even if you ignore the racial aspect of it he would have gotten (and really SHOULD have gotten) lambasted by economists and business people for implying they should limit their infrastructure and markets to some capacity because of """differences""".

>You quite literally have no clue of how severely toxic modern African American culture is (namely that among young people)

Not him but it's only toxic because African American culture has effectively fetishized the few successful niches that have created high amounts of success for itself within American/Western culture. This isn't new and has transpired in other cultures and populations, the unfortunately reality is that the natural resolution to such matters requires that ultimately a given percentage of the masses dying before it's introspectively and extrospectively address by people being effected by it in question.

Which luckily is happening right now, the fact that black crime and black on black violence has even made it to such a large sphere of public attention is accomplishment.

That'd because of the stigma against mental illness combined with tight knit family units that can often be fatherless. Many blacks are encouraged as children by their parent(s) to cover up their flaws and keep moving, and blame others when their flaws are apparent. Anyone who's been to a public school can tell you starting in elementary school that there's a good amount of black people that should probably be in special ed classes for anger issues, schizo tendencies, etc. but what usually happens is their mom refuses to allow them to be treated properly because they think their kids are being unfairly singled out instead of helped. Or that someone is implying that because they're black they're dumb and need to be in special ed. Lo and behold when standardized testing rolls around, and the legitimate retards are getting tested alongside normal black kids, they drag the raw averages way down because they aren't marked as special needs.

Outside of tard issues, you won't find blacks committing suicide at the same rate as whites because of the missing father figures. Males feel a greater obligation to their families not to commit suicide, because they need to be the men of the house and support mom. So instead of offing themselves, they bottle up that hate, and use it as fuel. Some use it to become good athletes. Others go down the wrong path either out of necessity or pure psychopathy, and turn to gang banging and robbing people.

Then you have dumbasses who have everything they could ever want living in the suburbs seeing hood life glorified in the media and going right back into the hellhole their parents worked hard to climb out of. The entire situation is fucked up from the floor up.

The undertones were in relation to the almost constant threads of people questioning phenotypic behaviour, I'm making he assumption that people are trying to justify their racsim, statement of the facts is fine, but to correlate it and purport it as certainty has conformational bias towards previously held racism

Wrong. The most successful countries are the most homogenous ones. As more minorities are introduced, every meaningful measurement of a society gets worse. Crime goes up, productivity goes down, quality of life goes down, poverty goes up, welfare dependency goes up, etc. In order to remain competitive, we need to maintain the homogeny of the population.

Definitely not. At least not by any biological mechanism. The fact is that the premise of the question itself is flawed. There are no actual 'different races' in humans, only different ethnicities and cultures. Biologically, the difference between the blackest black man and the whitest white man is the same as the difference between a white guy who is 7 feet tall, has a huge nose with brown eyes and a white woman who is 4 foot 11 and has a tiny nose and green eyes. In fact, the differences between the two white people may even be greater for all we know.

So if there is an intelligence difference between the 'races' it would not be based on biology but culture.

I think it's interesting that the so-called "race realists" on 4chan tend to fixate on the white-black IQ gap instead of the Asian-White gap or the Ashkenazi-White gap. How impartial and level-headed of them.

I wonder why that is.

It really makes me think.....

Yeah, yeah, technically that is true but lets go back to the real world. Not your fantasy land. What really binds jews is that for thousands of years they have been literally breeding within themselves exclusively. And remember, very few people convert to judaism.

This means that by now they must be slightly different from the general white population, who have bred with whites of different backgrounds, blacks, asians, etc.

Why are you afraid? I want to know, how have Ashkenazi changed by breeding only with themselves? Are they smarter or dumber?

You should also care about that, if you were a scientist.

Just remember its a very small percentage of the population responsible for the modern technology. Most whites aren't any more intelligent than people from any other race, every race has genius level outliers and evolution is an ongoing process.

They claim you're doing racial divide and conquer. It's the battle cry of every uneducated person, peasant, and trailer trash who has to cling on to the laurels of people who they aren't even remotely closely related to.
It's funny, because in America a random black person is probably more closely related to someone like a Thomas Jefferson, Isaac Newton, or Napoleon Bonaparte because typically only higher class citizens and relatives could even afford slaves and they typically never married out of class for generations. So the only white people related to notable people like that would know it for damn sure because they'd be in an old money family. Black people on the other hand got shipped all around and as a result have around 20-40% European mixture which is typically all from upper class whites who were actually related to nobles, scientists, explorers and inventors.

So odds are the random hick trying to make a claim on something as a racial achievement has less right to that claim than an american black person does genetically speaking

All this talk about genetics and race completely backfires when you realize most people are just varying degrees of mutts. The most sound thing we could probably discuss is haplogroups, but even then it's all mixed up and the findings dont necessarily line up with what we socially consider race to be.

>You quite literally have no clue of how severely toxic modern African American culture is
I've never understood why there isn't more uproar over how the media (especially the music industry) glorify "hood" culture. These people are essentially role models to black kids.

I've seen enough white trash kids swaggering around the streets, reciting obscene raps, etc, so people definitely are being negatively influenced by this.

I'd imagine that for black kids it's even more likely they'd identify with it just because they saw it on the TV/heard it on the radio.

A mixed child is more related to its white grandparent than you are as a random white person to that grandparent. The only way you'd be more related is if you are also a descendant of that person but you have a nonshared parent to the mixed child that is close genetically to the grandparent than the mixed child's parent. Given Europe's historical class segregation which carried over into the new world and expanded as the economies grew, it's probably true that you as a random white person are probably further away genetically from a given person who did something noteworthy in history than a black person is, who may be a direct descendant of that person, or a descendant of a close relative of that person. Unless you are old money, have roots in old money or have relatives who were in fact the history makers, you're probably not anywhere near them on the genetic family tree as your ancestors branched off and had been constrained among farm folk and peasants for the last couple centuries, while American blacks are pretty much all mixed with genetic info belonging to the people would have actually been rich enough to own slaves.
