I don't know why we would assume 0% heritability in racial gaps in intelligence when height is a highly heritable trait
Why do races being different mean they are inherently inferior or superior?
Let's slow down
And let me answer your first question
yes, like how chimps and humans have different iq's, but with humans i believe it is the quality of education, which tends to lack in black communities
alright
Rather than calling people who do these studies and find these differences racist, I'd be more inclined to have them press further to find out why those differences exist. o.o
^
I don't deny that there are average differences in certain qualities between races no
I mean it could be flaws in the studies. Flaws created by racial bias. Or it could be something else entirely.
i believe that there is a reason for this difference. Like how in most areas blacks have lower quality of education, where as most white communities have good schools
For your second claim
I would say yes
but yes i would say that jarod is slightly racist
I think that certain attributes are good, like most people would agree that a high IQ is good
Recently there have been larger studies which documented even further the degree to which racial groups differ in the frequency of SNPs (gene variants) associated with intelligence
Piffer 2015 didn't discover said SNPs associated with IQ but investigated their frequency by race and they were most common among East Asians and whites (when that SNP had a positive association with IQ as determined by GWAS), and least common among Africans

I was thinking the same about education. I would like to think the studies would take that into account but you never know.
Until you actually read the studies. Which I haven't.
now if you say that white people have higher IQs then other races, because they are white, then you are saying that white people are better in that deparment
High SES blacks do worse than poor whites on the SAT is .82 correlated with IQ test results
East Asians don't have higher IQ than white people "because they're yellow" or "because they're East Asian"
it's because they spent
literally
over 180,000 years in a different environment
and natural selection is not egalitarian
Yeah
not 50,000 years ago
they pushed back the timeline a lot
I think the best way to look at these sort of this is from a completely objective scientific point of view, as to avoid the constant claims of "racism" watering them down.
"Scientists on Thursday announced the discovery of a fossilized human jawbone in a collapsed cave in Israel that they said is between 177,000 and 194,000 years old."
Sadly people tend to not even attempt to be objective to these topics
humans have been in separate environments for ~180,000 years with little to no gene flow between groups
Subspecies have evolved in far less time in other animals
Asiatic Cheetah became a distinct subspecies from African Cheetahs in 30,000 years
let me link
Divergence time estimates from mitochondrial and nuclear data place the split between Asiatic and Southern African cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus jubatus) at 32 000–67 000 ya using an average mammalian microsatellite mutation rate and at 4700–44 000 ya
I mean, I don't think that this comparison is very valid. subspecies of insects can develop in just a couple of years, that doesn't mean that if we isolate two communities of humans for 10 years they will be two different subspecies
Their generation is 3 times faster,
