In study after study, modern genetics research is murdering blank slatism, and it's quickly becoming a bloodbath.

Marxist biologist Stephen Jay Gould (who is still widely read and taught in academia) once said: "There’s been no biological change in humans in 40,000 or 50,000… https://t.co/DhxRwitE3f

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.

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.

Dog breeds are very clearly distinct, human "races" are not. Obv polygenic traits are subject to selective pressure too.

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.

It's quite telling that it doesn't make sense to you, albeit not surprising 😘 Ironic that you're calling me a creationist and then give intelligently designed ships as an example.
The evidence does not support this at all, no.

What evidence is there that the races are equal above the neck? No seriously, it's just treated as an axiom. Even if you don't agree with the race realist position, you shouldn't dismiss it out of hand. It certainly has a lot more going for it than the neo-lysenkoists.

You could just put "race iq review" or something into google scholar, it's not exactly hard to find. "It's just treated as an axiom" is absolutely ridiculous lol
Are the neo-lysenkoists with us in the room right now? There aren't even any blank slatists, you just don't understand the subject at all.

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
