@fuguer my view is that there is no genetic environment scheme. It’s that genes react to the environment to make a trait.

you can't make informed decision without correct data

@Leaf, are wildcats of the same species as men?

No, and?

why do you place such weight on the species classification, its quite arbitrary

if you cancel white man the exponential population growth will collapse back to reasonable numbers. If you want to be one of the chosen prep yourself or your progeny

There are never genetic variations within species which impact behaviour?

So why bring them into a discussion about human history?

if we treated "humans" like other forms of life there would be lots of different sub species, at least three

Are individuals with, for example, hereditary disease, indistinct in ability and behaviour from other individuals free of such disease? @BabygottBach

@Nerthulas, no come on, explain that reaction.

we are not created equal

objective scientific data

With your cheap, copout nuance, @Nerthulas

species classification really is a minor issue because some have higher reproductive rates and other are lower it doesn't change the philosophy that drove the population growth to unsustainable levels

Genes when it serves us, culture and environment when it doesn't

Equal by what metric?

@BabygottBach do you understand that there is a continuum of life, and that 'species' is a relatively arbitrary designation?

Are individuals with, for example, hereditary disease, indistinct in ability and behaviour from other individuals free of such disease? @BabygottBach

culture and environment are genes

@Nerthulas you mean like race?

Son of a gun the tag didn't work

until you understand that genes make culture and environment, you will never get anywhere

to really understand this chart you need to know how PCA works..... geneetic differences can be considered as an extremely high dimensional vector space. no way to visualize. principal component analysis breaks this down and projects it into 2 dimensions like a shadow. PCA1 is the most significant variation. PCA2 is the 2nd most significant variation that's orthogonal to the first. you cant compare scale between X and Y theyre different units. WE see here that african genetics are on a completely different level compared to all other human races on PC1, the most significant axis.

yes, race is a relatively arbitrary designation, you can draw races wide or small, specific or broad

@Str3tch, what makes genes?

hey, where did GENES come from?

East Asians have higher intelligence, Africans have higher height. Neither is superior to, or equal to the other.

I guess genes created the big bang.

Genes create environment, after all

@BabygottBach u <:kekboi:417880491182653450>

the environment and culture is the output of other ppl's genes

Where

did

the reality is that there is a continuum of related living organisms who differ in traits, and that we can draw circles around groups of organisms with some level of similarity

genes

genes can shape environment and environment shapes genes
