There's been literally selection for almost every other part of the body. West Africans have more sickle cell disease because those genes give more protection against Malaria, people in tropical areas with crops shrunk down to being little manlets. Why would the most important organ, the brain, be immune to this process?

R-slurs don't realise that gene expression is highly influenced by the environment.

Moreso they don't realize just how complex the interplay between genes and environment is. The same genetic makeup could result in completely different phenotypes in different cultural contexts for example.

And comparing sickle cell disease to intelligence is obv just dumb af

What side is making the presumptions? There's no serious race realist who is arguing the environment doesn't influence anything and all variations one perceives are down to inherent genetic differences, no race realist denies epigenetics either. What they do deny is the presumption that the races are inherently equal under a blank slate and the variations we see are due to structural racism and environmental influence.

It's obvious nonsense to claim that racial IQ differences are caused (in meaningful parts) by genetic differences that directly influence intelligence itself (whatever this means tbh). The "evidence" people like you bring up always betrays a complete lack of understanding of the complexities involved.

As I said, even if you could pinpoint important "inherent genetic differences", the difference in outcome could well be completely caused by "structural racism and environmental influence". Obviously no one is a blank slatist in current year, but genes influence the environment, and the environment influences genes.

And pointing to sickle cell disease (or eye color, or skin color...) and comparing it to a highly polygenic trait like intelligence is just r-slurred tho u should know better lmap

The old cop-out, this is the game little children play too weasel out of an argument. "Well what is a chair anyway, a rock could be a chair, so could a stick when you sit on it" one says too the furniture manufacturer. There's no culture on earth where being called smart isn't praise and being called stupid isn't an insult. People everywhere, in all languages, in all cultures, have understood what it means too be smart or stupid.

Literally read this book that looks into g, the common factor too what we call intelligence. People good at one subject or test tend too be good at others. People bad at one subject or test tend too be bad at others. There's over 5,000 genes known that code for parts of the brain, these genes vary in distribution between the races, just as races vary in mental ability. Too pretend this wouldn't explain a major part the massive disparities we see between groups is, as @Jared_Taylor said, racial creationism.

It's not clear what it means for a genetic factor to directly influence intelligence, independent of the environmental context.

Exactly. Quite absurd to claim such a highly polygenic trait would show meaningful "race" differences.

Makes no sense honestly. That's like saying because two different ships both have thousands of different parts that interconnect in a complex manner, they must sail at the same speed and the differences in performance between the two are entirely due too the waves or fuel put into them. Never mind they're structurally built different, complex things have too be the same if you don't understand it, according too you.

We can measure IQ, we can notice things like rates of psychopathy, ability too delay gratification, the actual structure of the brain, the size of the brain, varies significantly, and the genes that code for these differences vary in their presence or expression between different races. It's too be expected that the variations we see between how the different races go about life are due too this.

Why? As far as I understand it, only the selective pressures should matter.

Dog-breeds have different "IQs" too, despite being polygenic there too. Obviously, humans are very different from dogs, but this should still prove that even highly polygenic traits can be different between similar populations due to genetic differences.

There was that thing with peppered moths, pre-industrial revolution they were mostly white to blend in with the birch tree.

In comes a ton of coalburning and soot, trees get darker, and the moths with more peppering blended in better, which improved their odds of survival against predators.

Then we started cleaning the air and the pvre white moths increased expression

Lysenkoism is commie fake science

Officials eventually put Lysenko in charge of Soviet agriculture in the 1930s. The only problem was, he had batty scientific ideas. In particular, he loathed genetics. Although a young field, genetics advanced rapidly in the 1910s and 1920s; the first Nobel Prize for work in genetics was awarded in 1933. And especially in that era, genetics emphasized fixed traits: Plants and animals have stable characteristics, encoded as genes, which they pass down to their children. Although nominally a biologist, Lysenko considered such ideas reactionary and evil, since he saw them as reinforcing the status quo and denying all capacity for change. (He in fact denied that genes existed.)

Instead, as the journ*list Jasper Becker has described in the book Hungry Ghosts, Lysenko promoted the Marxist idea that the environment alone shapes plants and animals. Put them in the proper setting and expose them to the right stimuli, he declared, and you can remake them to an almost infinite degree.

To some degree but adoption studies have already been done and shown the environment has nil effect on intelligence

Throwing endless money and resources to BIPOCs and seeing little improvement also showcases the failings of the egalitarian side. It's like how the Marshall Plan worked for Europe but all the foreign aid for Africa goes nowhere.

Environment has an effect when it comes to actual malnorishment, like experiencing a famine. Which can explain some of the reason Black Africans score much lower than African Americans on IQ tests, for example. There's very few BIPOCs living in the west that are malnorished to a significant degree. You can lower a group below their potential by stunting/malnorishing them, but you can't raise them above their potential by throwing resources at them.

For one, twin studies are almost always done within a country, which definitely limits the amount of environmental variation that can occur. No malnutrition is happening in a western country, for example.

The other thing is that intelligence does tend toward that of the adopted parents, but it normalizes in adulthood.

Even then there is some small variation between twins. So it's not 100% genetic.

No it doesn't, not even a little. The correlation is near zero but very strong with bio parents

The variation between twins could be due to a ton of stuff that is non environmental, probably it's just measurement error

Everyone's appendix doesn't work.

The appendix was once considered a vestigial organ, but this view has changed since the early 2000s.[1][2] Research suggests that the appendix may serve an important purpose as a reservoir for beneficial gut bacteria.

Research performed at Winthrop–University Hospital showed that individuals without an appendix were four times as likely to have a recurrence of Clostridium difficile colitis.[18] The appendix, therefore, may act as a "safe house" for beneficial bacteria.[14] This reservoir of bacteria could then serve to repopulate the gut flora in the digestive system following a bout of dysentery or cholera or to boost it following a milder gastrointestinal illness
