you cant always determine some things... no matter how big the sample is

you can actually

sample sizes merely refine the numbers

I learnt this trying to work out random binary compression techniques back in college

It's always been based on culture and region, hasn't it?

yes

and education

and twin studies where you take babies out of their culture and place them in another, and see the result, and compare it to the other twin and its enviroment

same genes expressed differently in different environs

with some things its like trying to work out a fingerprint by taking an average of lots of people .. you can have a sample size of the whole world - its not going to tell you anything

either you don't know what the word "average" means, or you're simply wrong

i dono, could you predicts finger print patterns based on genetic data of the parents

no

i dono if you can inherit that shit

where else does the construction information come from though

is it cultural?

even identical twins have completely different fingerprints

even with the same DNA

you can still establish an average with that

while IQ is pretty connected to genes, I don't think the differences in race are due to genetics, and that culture plays a large role there. That is because IQ scores have risen in the last 100 years by a lot which shows it's not just a race thing

if it's clear that we "don't know", then wouldn't the best thing to do is to figure out how we could possibly make that correlation?

aye here it is

finger prints are different, but the patterns are similar

yeah whorls loops etc

ha cool

i actually never knew this

personally I think human intelligence is like physical ability. everyone has varying capability, different races have different capabilities on average, some have it in good quality some don't, etc.

both your thumbs are different in finger print too

but who knows for sure until you start looking into it

even though they follow the same genetic code

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if intelligence is bred into/out of family trees.

the best thing to say without a clear method is "I don't know"

Shit is going down between Israel and Syria https://twitter.com/QalaatAlMudiq/status/994333803048062978

you could predict a finger print when it comes to whorls and ridges, based off of the genetic information

not in detail though

that is enviroment

even with a clear method you can't say, its the scientific method,

You make an assumption (hypothesis)
Test it, and see what comes out
If it correlates with what you expected, and happens every time, you have scientific evidence

I think it's difficult to even tell what environmental factors are important towards that. I remember reading that whether or not a baby is breastfed by their biological mother can have an effect on their IQ, and that this difference is noticeable even if any certain child received breast milk from someone other than their mother

man everything can effect iq

age of the mom

amount of hammers to the face
