Quote:DT, AN and sprint implied (or stated explicitly) that certain races are inherently (ie genetically) inferior and have a lower IQ. This is not true and is based on prejudice rather than evidence. Where IQ differences have been detected, they have been small and attributable to cultural influences on the test. They have always been insignificant compared to the variation in IQ within a group.
Okay... here's some stats I dug up...
Source: Richard Lynn, "Race Differences in Intelligence: An Evolutionary Analysis" 2006 Table 16.2 (indigenous populations)- Arctic Peoples 91
- East Asians 105
- Europeans 99
- Native Americans (north & south) 86
- Southern Asian & Northern Africans 84
- Bushmen (southern Africa) 54
- Africans (subsaharan) 67
- Australians (aboriginals) 62
- Southeast Asians 87
- Pacific Islanders 85
Ausnat Quote:Because they are the second most stupid race on earth. I wasnt going to mention Abo's first but now that you've mentioned it- The Aboriginal people of Australia are the most backwards people on earth.
Ausnat's statement can be somewhat backed up by the stats.
Quote:Nothing wrong with recognising a gene that somehow proves that maori's are more prone to violence.
But it doesn't prove that.
How doesn't it prove that, freediver?
Quote:The European, Aboriginal and African races are separated by thousands of years of evolution. Pretty big gap between us.
They are not separated, and thousands of years is not significant in evolutionary terms.
My respose to that is this freediver:
Quote:According to recent genetic studies, the first humans came out of Africa. This is a widely-accepted theory by all scientists today. It was about 60,000 years ago.
Africans / negroes - 60,000 years ago
Middle-Easterners to SouthEast Asians - 50,000 years ago - 41,000 years ago
East Asians (Chinese, Japanese) - during the period of 40,000 to 36,000 years ago.
Native Americans / "Indians" - 15,000 years ago
Whites / Europeans - 35,000 years ago
All of this data has been confirmed by genetic markers and fossils. Just read Stanford geneticist Spencer Well's two books "Deep Ancestry" and "The Journey of Man." The books are sponsored by National Geographic. You can find the books at any Barnes And Nobles or Borders bookstore near you.
1. Deep Ancestry by Spencer Wells, p. 104-106, 96-102
2. Journey of Man by Spencer Wells, p. 66 and 120
Quote:I don't particularly think Aboriginals have very civilised genes. IQ differences...
What IQ differences? Are you just making this up DT?
See above.
