They’re putting chemicals in the grain, that turns the frickin midgets tall, do you understand that
Ok, so why do certain ethnic groups living in the West still have lower average IQs than other groups
Inbreeding
That's a good question.
If it is inbreeding then it is genetic kek
I thought we were talking about there being multiple influence on intellegence
That would imply that there would be more that one factor @Deleted User ?
Well there's a shit ton of factors. intelligence is complicated.
IQ is changed very little by the level of education
@Cream Man
It's the environment
What about cultural attitudes though? I think it would be interesting to compare the IQ of people that maintain a british identity with those from the same culture without.
it's literarry on the same paper that talks about heritability
the author compares it to height, who also have a high heritability and it's also heavily influenced by environment
page 17
go there
have fun
*grabs popcorn*
what are you referencing @Fulcrum010 ? gimme a link
or at least a doi number
scihub's the shit son
Here is a question, do you think someone like Einstein was genetically predisposed to being highly intelligent, or was it environmental factors
How much of his intelligence would be due to his genetics, and how much to his environment
Well many of einstein's children are intelligent, but some of them were also schizophrenic.
you're balancing a ball on a spike with intelligence and genetics. high intelligence predisposes you to a lot of potential genetic problems.
Because genetics is fucking complicated.
But can we at the very least acknowledge that intelligence is highly effected by genetic factors
Not 100%
and not 0%
But it has a noticeable impact
Of course it is. but the ability for a culture to maintain the growth of those individuals varies.
To wrap back around to where we began
If we accept that
If we accept that non-sequitur
Is it really a stretch to say that there are other psychological traits that may be affected by genetics
no.
It is
Mainly as a result of one being able to be quantitively measured and the other, well, not so much
So why do personality disorders have a higher risk of being hereditarily passed on
in what groups?
(you can measure if someone has a genetic disorder)
Psychopathy is specifically tied to genetics
