And yet the correlation between smoking and lung cancer was highly parsimonious as causative before any of this was known. Would you have looked...
It's strange isn't it? There's a consistent global IQ difference between races, what's causing it? Space beams? "The difference within races is...
Can you explain why genetics is an unreasonable explanation in the absence of any other explanation? Please also bear in mind that IQ is 75%...
This is pretty hilarious. Wherever races are in all times and places they have similar IQs, but you simply can't imagine why that might be. You...

You're the one constantly going on about cephalic index. Nobody else seems interested.
I'm not interested enough to bother to cherry pick some counter examples.
This study?
Well let's say that the causation of the consistent pattern isn't ancestral genetics. What else do you think it could be?
It's still a very poor analogy. Unless you can provide data showing a consistent correlation between bad teeth and IQ. You see the problem is we...
This is true. I do also take some small credit for the superiority of the White race. We all do our bit.
Not at all. Your Wilson quote refers to "where climates are rigorously seasonal" vs "where climates are uniformly benign". This is subjective...
Well two points. 1) The consistent race/IQ pattern is good evidence of a genetic cause. 2) Assuming your "no evidence" position, which entails...
There is an experiment which could produce conclusive evidence. Race and intelligence - Metapedia Genetic ancestry tests make possible a...
I said cephalic index wasn't strongly correlated to behavior, the similarities and differences between Nords, Slavs and Africans show that. - - -...
You seem to enjoy finding some random hormone that varies and attributing all racial difference to that one molecule, with zero logic.
That's an incredibly bad analogy. You're ignoring heredity which is the key point. People can change their shoes, but not their genes. And yes,...
If he thinks there is no evidence how can he say it is backwards?
I'm confused by your post. You say twinning rates aren't explained by the environment, which I think is probably correct, then cite an...
So Graves is saying he doesn't know whether the tropics or the North are more predictable? How can he claim Rushton got it backwards? Sounds like...
Lol, your Reznick quote says r/K is valid but he hasn't looked at Rushton's data. So it's just ignorance. Quote MacArthur and Wilson. No, the...
Which is not this boat. [img]
I'll take Jews for 200, Alex.
I didn't claim it was "not racist". I just said the word "racist" adds nothing to the debate. It's just a dog whistle to attack somebody for...
Fascinating. Some points. 1) r/K is valid as Rushton applied it. The theory was modified to account for some anomalies with insects. It wasn't...
