IQ isnt genetic, not on a racial level
culture doesn't come 100% from environment
race acts as a proxy for genetic diversity
the reason why africans have low IQ is because they drink lead water
not because of genetics
I think culture is too complex to explain it's origin, I don't think you can say that culture arises from IQ
it's why jews in the 1800's had an average iq of 90
and now they have an average of 120
(in america)
it has nothing to do with genes
i mean that's bullshit
it has everything to do with culture
wekk
they have an average iq of like 113
not even culture
the lead thing is an old explanation that's no longer relevant
more like poverty
bro
if you drink lead
you will be damaged
well, in america
not many places
in like 1 city
in Africa
fucking everywhere
plus, im using lead as an example
you can replace it with any pollutant
but it's not actually common
it's rare
which there is a lot of, especially in africa
and yes it's a terrible pollutant etc
but it's tiny pockets
again, im just using lead as an examole
My point is if you gave 2 people who are pretty identical but different races, their brains still have noteable differences
also, lead used to be common as fuck
yeah obviously environmental factors contribute
well unless you can think of another lead that's ubiquitous
now are they
black people still consistently have lower iqs than white people in every country in which they coexist
