why don't you find an inter race adoption study

Like something other than just showing correlation

It shows really poor scientific literacy if you can’t provide anything else

Now studies do take a long time to find so I’m not gonna rush you

But if you find a good one at some point I recommend you just ping me up

but i dont even know what exacltly you want

A scientific study as opposed to just statistics?

about what? IQ?

Iq, murder statistics, etc

Here. They don't do too many studies like this because it is career suicide.

Thanks

I'd take any sociological study with a grain of salt, but this does a passable job at isolating individual from environment and results show minimal differences

Ill take a look through it

Was it ever published in a journal?

@twomoo1119 Genes for large brains, linked to high IQ, are common everywhere except Africa. Source: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB115040765329081636

It was published standalone

you think a journal would run this? lmao

Journals tend to allow anything that was done properly to be published

*generally*

oh come on

don't suggest that science has not been political since the 60s

hell, when has it not been political

I would avoid enshrining any institution with such trust, even peer review breaks down under pressure

Im not saying its not

But they could still get it published

If you want to write this study off because it was self published be my guest

I don't need to convince you

Intelligence “is one of the best predictors of important life outcomes such as education, occupation, mental and physical health and illness, and mortality.” Source: http://www.nature.com/mp/journal/v20/n1/full/mp2014105a.html

the significance of this is that it suggests poverty results in part from genetic predisposition to stupidity

Partially?

it is conjecture like your idea that genetics is unrelated

I didn’t say that

so don't take it over-seriosuly

I’m really just saying that because someone is more likely to be one way, don’t assume that they are

Human intelligence is highly heritable. Source: http://www.nature.com/mp/journal/v16/n10/abs/mp201185a.html

then that is a completely reasonable stance

it is easy to see that first generation black americans outperform the average native in intelligence and income

because they are selected to do so

And because someone is dumb doesn’t give them less rights or make them less human (I don’t believe you were arguing for this)

of course not

but if one were to make the reasonable assumption that blacks are probably significantly less intelligent than whites or asians on a genetic level
