Well, as far as I know, they haven't found any specific genes which are relevant to our intelligence. It is true, that global IQ comparisons show blacks as the least intelligent and asians as the most intelligent. But honestly, I think that has more to do with culture and social infrastructure than it has to do with race. Whilst the western world's educational system is well structured, and virtually no one is left without at least 8-10 years of basic education, the African system is broken and very few are given any education at all. I'm sure, if you made a similar study comparing races within the borders of a western country, taking only people who have lived there their whole lives, the margin wouldn't be as high, if even existent at all.

This is so old, I still have the newspaper with this article with me now.
Science 297(5580) front cover (2002) had a story about a gene all mammals carry, a mutated version of which approximately triples brain mass and does very impressive things for rats and mice.
The brain is the organ of cognition. Its structure and function are determined by the genes.
Barring brain damage or severe malnutrition in childhood, intelligence--which we define for convenience as the net information-processing power of a given brain--is 100% genetic. This has been known for well over a century.
People get all pissy about it, but H. Sapiens is an animal, like a horse or dog. We can breed animals for any trait we can imagine. Our ancestors were doing this during the Iron Age. And we have vastly more sophisticated tools at our disposal today.
Why wouldn't intelligence be genetic? How could it be any different from lung capacity or the length of the long bones in the limbs?

Well that explains why blacks vote democrat so overwhelmingly.

I knew it WAS genetic, I didn't know they'd found the specific genes. My point was just, that they haven't found any proof for that claim, where it couldn't be explained with social and cultural differences rather than race.
I completely agree that humans are just as much primates as chimpanzees or any other ape specie for what matters.

the times....
you're simply pathetic. the times is always spreading pseudo-anthropologic propaganda, you ought to take it into account.
Now I can't be called racist when I say niggers are dumb.

But there are many black more intelligent than the average asian. Obviously what we need is social darwinism. >>12
It's only not racist when you say "niggers are dumb on average", to say all niggers are dumb is factually incorrect, thus racist.

Who's Asian?
Are Iranians Asian or Caucasian?
Pakistanis? Uzbeks? Uyghur Chinese?
and Saamis in North Europe???

Asians as in referring to the Mongoloid race. Iranians, Indians etc. are all Caucasians. Keep in mind that not all Asians have above average IQ, only the far eastern races, mainly Chinese, Korean and Japanese, show traits of above average IQ.

He's catching hell for this, but I do like to point that black people like to feel superior to white people when it comes to athletic ability, saying its genetic, but when it comes to intelligence, then genetics is meaningless?
Genetics plays a part in disease resistance, height, looks, certian physical abilities, etc, but intelligence is the same across the board?

I heard somewhere that the gene which causes "explosive muscle power" is present in both white and black people. Also the lack of this gene allows muscles to maintain longer periods of continuous strain which is useful for weight lifting.
The belief in racial equality is faith-based to begin with and is not grounded in facts, evidence, or logic. Therefore, no amount of facts or proof would be enough to sway these true believers.
Just as proof of God's nonexistence would be met with claims that God fabricated such evidence to fool people, proof of negro inferiority is always met with claims that an omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient white entity is somehow manipulating the evidence to test the faith of egalitarians.
Evidence which proves that races are inherently different already exists by the boatload, but historically speaking it takes a long time for religious beliefs to yield to facts. The Catholic Church didn't officially admit that Galileo was right until 350 years after his death. I expect it to take at least that long for egalitarianism to reach maturity and admit at least some of its mistakes.

I beg to differ. As soon as Whites in most White countries become a minority and lose any sort of political means of reverting that status the charade will be over. That will not last 350 years, whether Whites wake up or not. Non-Whites will not care about racial egalitarianism as long as there is no one to free-ride with it.
