Speeder2 you are especially out of line. There’s several things wrong with what you’ve said.
I don't think so.
This neither proves nor disproves, environment’s effect on intelligence. They may have occupied the same country but they were hardly treated equally or given the same opportunities were they?
google up famous trans-cultural and trans racial twin adoption studies in the US and in Belgium.
I’m surprised that if you can see ptldM3’s mistake in cause and effect that you would go and make one yourself. Did smart populations choose the regions that promoted the evolution of higher intelligence or did those regions that promote the evolution of smart population?
The answers seems obvious don’t they?
either i wasn't very clear by skipping some detailed explainations or you confused several concepts by simply assuming "out of Africa" which is merely a hypothesis, not inclusively proven yet. An equally important hypothesis, "multi origin", has been systematically ignored and decriminated by the mainstream PC media and research.
Furthermore, even if "out of Africa" was valid, no inclusive conclusion could be made yet on "whether all human races were identical before some went out of Africa". So-called "we all came from black Africans" is also a PC slogan used by liberals, without inclusive scientific evidences thus far.
So excuse me that I have put rather generally in my previous post. Chicken-egg at the beginning regarding those hypotheses, one might say, at this stage.
However, let me put this clearer:
A popular and generally plausible hypothesis among non-PC scientists is that cold enviroment by and large helped shaping the IQ of Easy Asians and Europeans ( in this sense,
environment forced changes in their genes
pre-historically for them to survive in the far North regions );
However, aforementioned "
environment" is a different concept all together from the
"environment" that Indians and others are arguing about, which is more of short-tenure, by which as if a short space of hundreds of years even decades of the same "environment" could help improving one's IQ dramatically, which is highly unlikely in eyes of science. Under the later context, this "
environment" factor is much less significant than ones' innate genetic inputs according to existing modern research.
This is racial crackpot theories. Like the prof. I quoted said we don’t know or understand what genes are responsible for intelligence nor are we likely to find out. Though it can almost be certain that intelligence is a complex polygenic trait and distant Intermarriage doesn’t mean equivalence in mental capacity.
Chill out, mate. this Arabs IQ stuff is only my
personal belief ,
an opinion, in other words, not proven and without sufficient evidences.
You can’t DILUTE intelligence like a cocktail.
well, it seems that you can. Look up mixed-racial IQ studies ( e.g. some on mixed black americans, while others on Brasilians). The concept is also intuitively sound.
