Why is the IQ of Ashkenazi Jews so high?

[RayKalm]

point those facts please and back them up. But you usually just drop a one liner and run. At least The SC stays and defends his poor principles.

I usually just drop a one liner? Well that's the first time I heard that.

Give me a few minutes.

The reason for Ashkenazi IQ is the selective pressure they faced in western Europe, where they were not allowed to own land and were forced to become financiers, doctors, and university professors. All the low IQ Ashkenazi Jews who couldn't become professionals died out, leaving only those smart enough to take professions to survive.

Sephardic Jews on the other hand were allowed to own land and farm, and you see a significantly lower mean IQ among Sephardis.

So an ethnic group with high mean IQ simply means that particular group faced a greater selective pressures than other groups.

Interesting arguments...

Well, being a molecular scientist, I found all the talk on genes a little funny...Because no matter how many articles you read people proofing ANYTHING from genes...few months down the line a new research kind of kicks that idea off....Same goes for IQ...People/ Lead scientists are STILL DEBATING about how much of a genetic influence is involved....

1 thing is certain in molecular biology...EVEN if YOU have the intelligence gene (which no one is sure what it is- all we know is it is made up of many genes working together to produce intelligence)....EVERY Molecular scientist knows that WITHOUT THE OUTSIDE (environmental) influence, that gene or set of genes (in this case Intelligence controlling genes) will not "switch on" or will not be synthesized, express itself or even if it expresses might not be functional without an environmental trigger.

Yes, articles report this and that...Well, thats how scientists are...they get excited and due to the competition produce an article to be the 1st to report this and that...only to be refuted few months later by a newer theory....

As for why Jews have a higher IQ...its basically because they emphasize on education. Have the means to send their children to better schooling and uni as well as a factor from their genes and upbringing...All this has to play a part otherwise just having good genes means nothing - at least to a scientist!

16 factors that influences people's intelligence

This article though not VERY scientific kind of sums things a little...

An illuminating post after a long time.

Research Topic ???

I deal with Molecular research. I studied molecular biology with biotechnology and decided on Plants as they are easier to deal with. However, as a part time I venture into cancer biology and other aspects of Molecular biology because once you study genes - the concept and all you can technically branch into any field...

By expertise I am a molecular plant breeder and I work as a Plant pathologist and I will be doing my PhD in Plant genetics.

An illuminating post after a long time.

Why thank you!

Since I am at work I couldn't find the exact words to explain myself...but i tried to be as easy on those who do not understand the molecular sciences and tried not to use technical words as I am trained to also address the non-scientific audience...

Hope it didn't sound too gibberish...

I thought it was very clear. Even this *** from the humanities could understand what you wanted to explain.

Hope you survive this menagerie.

if they are that intelligent, why they still lost their nation in the far cry of human history?

History tell us, the day a civilization become intelligent, they loose everything. Let me start from begining.
1. Sumerian : Intelligent ppl , they were Anihilated by barbarian sumerians.
2. Persian: Anihilated by barbarian Arabs.
3. Indian : Culture destroyed by Mongolized Arabs.
4. CHinese: Looted by Mongols and West.

And so on...




Why it happened?? :

Coz in those days muscle power was everything, war was won with more skilled man (Skill in war rather than civilized)

Will it happen again???

No, Now war has moved to technology, Thats why all techno-savvy countries are leading the world and Barbariabns are lagging behind... A small Jew state is standing firm against populus Arabs.

Want to get me banned, eh? You cunning old Bawa-ji, you! Let me think about it; trouble is they come in pairs, one colored green, the other orange. Maybe it's better to list the generic type, and note that it comes in two varieties.

Giving it a thought.

Is it any coincidence then the re-emergence of two inward looking civilizations that developed and prospered organically and not by violent conquests?

Which is why I believe that Iran is taking just that little while longer.

I have a theory I was mulling over morning coffee and my son's World Atlas ...... maybe another thread.

What a load of crap power is fleeting any power can collapse, at the height of roman power they didnt think they would collapse ine day, yet they did

The same with every othere power from the mongols to the british

Power and strength comes in cycles


Civilised??????? There wad nothing civilisef about pagan, monkey worshipping, caste obsessed, widow burning india, they were a lesser civilisation who were weak and became conquered

Israel exists due to the USA the current superpower once the winds if change keep blowing to the middle east if the people refuse to accept israel it will eventually be eclipsed
