Only surrounded west berling
East Berlin was 100% open
People were stuck in east berlin until the wall fell down.
How, no wall and no intense border patrol
When the wall fell down 2 million people went to west berlin.
The east berliners could go anywhere except West Berlin
Weren't East Germans stopped from trying to leave via Hungary?
When Hungary made it's borders more open
In my studies of it, haven;t seen any evidence of such
And the time East Germans stormed the West German embassy in Czechoslovakia I believe
Never saw any evidence of such
Maybe because your evidence is either fabricated or cherry picked???
I mean even Wikipedia says it. Not exactly hard to find
I'm saying the evidence is not present
Either way that was after Stalin had died when the Berlin Wall was raised. It was made by Krushnev, who had made massive anti-democratic reforms and was a little bitch. I really dislike Krushnev and I'd love to see a reason to hate him but I just haven't seen it.
Is there an IQ difference between races?
Statistically? yes. Actually? No.
And if there is itβs very subtle, would be hard to study.
What evidence points to intelligence being influenced by environmental factors?
I'm not a white supremacist by the way
The studies show that Asians on average have a higher iq than Europeans
And Africans have the lowest
@Gerry But there is a huge difference if it's because of their genes or the environment
If it's in their genes it means it's inherent to them and it won't change
That's why the issue is controversial and emotional
Definitely
A study conducted by __Dr. Yashpal Singh__ of the *Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India* indicates "that various environmental factors such as place of residence, physical exercise, family income, parents' occupation and education influence the IQ of a child to a great extent. Hence, a child must be provided with an optimal environment to be able to develop to his/her full genetic potential."
Improvements in nutritional policy, prenatal and early nutrition are linked to brain structure, there is evidence (provided by a study by the MRC Childhood Nutrition Research Centre and the University College London Institute of Child Health, that providing a high nutrient diet to very premature babies, particularly males, can help to reduce the loss of brain size and IQ often experienced by these babies. Zinc, Iron, folate, iodine, B12 and protein deficiency can also result in low IQ.
@Deleted User I totally agree with your claim and I would be surprised with any scientific data contradicting it
Now
Does that means intelligence cannot be genetic?
The evidence is out there, tons of studies done on environmental effects on IQ.
Now, I did find that genes can affect IQ a lot... especially in adults.
The extent of this is not well known to me, but the problem lies in racist graphs pushing an agenda of anti-blacks by ignoring all of the environmental evidence.
So we accept there is a genetic factor and a environmental one
Studies agree about 60-80% of IQ is determined by genes once your brain is developed, about 27 years and older.
Its definitely both.
