I was wondering if the actual iq difference between countries is because of genetics or is it more envirionmental. I see people say that the average iq of a white person is like 100 and africans at 70 and asians at like 110 or something like that but is the difference that big genetically or is it mostly due to environmental reasons. I feel like the african iq is lower because they have litterally no access to education and dont think about anything because they are on a farm just trying to survive and not starve.

I also find it hard to believe that the average African is borderline retarded.

It's a feedback loop. Marginally better environment helps develop better IQ, marginally better iq helps develop a better environment and it builds on itself. After several thousand years you have the differences that we have today.

I can understand that but i have gotten in arguments with people and they say that if you took an african child taht was well nourished and put that african child in a white family that its iq would still stay around 70 and i cant believe that at all.

>> No.9506901

There are studies on that and if I recall the results correctly, black kids raised by white families had higher IQs, but still lower than white kids raised by white families. There's definitely at least some environmental factor, but hard to say how much. It also possible that it's all environmental.

Even if this were the case and it was fully environmental, what is your solution then? That we stop blacks being raised by other blacks? Not like we can take every black child away from every negligent black, just not enough people who want to adopt them. Also this would build into obvious negative incentives.

Also, why is it that in every country, even 100% black countries that are fairly well off, (so not africa) still have lower IQ?

What mean by no reason to suspect intelligence to correlate to race I mean the differences that are there are better explained by non racist reasons. So if you jump to conclusions then ipso facto it's racism.

The rest of those responses are on a dingus Level maybe like junior dingus even so I don't think I want to type out a reply.

There is no better way to study environmental impact on IQ. Since twins are born to the same parents, the variable of heritability is automatically controlled for by testing for IQ before or shortly after adoption.

What a fucking problem solving nigger trash talk is this really. You can get pretty steady results from a basic IQ test that measures ones ability to solve basic problems that measures the origin of your IQ given enviromental factors that can be as messed up as you can get it. So i say this loud and clear. Niggers generally has average IQ. Maybe a few under but not much. Cause enviroment. But ffs going around thinking blacks are retard and yelow are geniuses is like being color blind and saying all dark spots are black. Because you don't know. I need dark humor for this. All niggers are not retarded i repeat all niggers are not retarded.

Actually it goes both ways, particularly with wealth. The stereotype of wealth=money is a recent occurrence and in it's original form wealth=food/resources. Better quality food provided better quality nutrition which then provides better body growth especially for the brain. Deficiency in food / nutrition in general can have an effect on brain growth especially during prenatal. Obviously wealth as it equates to money on its own cannot raise IQ but nutrition can and the utilization of money to gain access to iodine did in fact raise IQ levels in a number of communities in both America and Europe with research documentation to prove it.
