Alright, I've put up the Fez-symbol, he should be here shortly...what do you mean, you don't see it? It's the big rainbow-colored fasces projected against the clouds, how could you miss it? Well, that's because you're a treasonous freedom-hating bastard who should be shot and vivisected without anesthetic as he bleeds to death, only good people can see the Fez-symbol. So there.
WRT Ozzie's neglected points, which seem as good a continuation as anything given where this thread has gone, there is reason to believe that youth are as a whole inferior cognitively to adults. For one thing, the brain doesn't completely develop and become fully myelinated until the end of puberty or so, and for another a lot of intelligence is acquired as experience in the ways of the world. It's a bit different from race.

But the timescale is very limited, and the disparity between cultures can therefore only ever be very very small. And continual interbreeding continually diminishes it - which means that in anywhere with a recent history of diverse cultural makeup, the effect will be practically non-existant. Between a thousand pure Australian Aboriginies and a thousand pure Jews in America, then maybe there will be a slight but noticable difference in "intelligences"*, but on the whole I think there won't be as significant an effect as is seen in physical activities.
*intelligences: It is plausible that cultures have required different types of "intelligence" or cognitive ability to different extents (Spatial perception vs Logical reasoning for example), which have affected and differentiated (to some tiny extent) the cognitive nature (and nurture) of individuals from different cultures.Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy?

And the given study also cites the fact that 'g' does have an effect , and a provable one , on success .Last edited by aneeshm; March 25, 2005, 06:08.

My take is this: since intelligence is partly/largely/totally determined by genetics (as is skin color, hair, resistance to diseases, etc), then it is likely that there are measurable differences between the various races.
There are well-understood selection mechanisms for the creation of genetic differences in skin color, hair, and resistances to disease between huuman populations. The same is certainly not true for "intelligence." So your assertion is bull****.

Anthropology, if it can't explain something there are clearly no differences. Say if anthropology can't explain why some "races" have certain different facial (or other) features, they don't exist. Keep saying that.

The supposed facial differences are due to typological thinking, trying to put many diverse ethnic groups into a handfull of stereotyical "racial" types. 85% of human polymorphisms do not respect traditional "racial" bounderies.

Sorry to focus again on Jews - just musing.

There is a difference between arguing for a "blank slate" and disagreeing with "biology is destiny."Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

I want serious discussion , which is seemingly impossible when the PC brigade tries to rescue us from our deluded attempts to find the truth/discuss the truth .
