[quote:9922f64346]I don't teach kids. But my kids have Black classmates who are very
smart.
I still tend to think that some of the IQ gap is genetically caused.
But I'm being devil's advocate here and I can see some real
misconceptions in your thinking. (I used to have them, too)
One is that the Black skull is more primitive or ape like. Blacks are
prognathous in the lower face, and whites are prognathous in the
middle face.
Asians have a flatter face. So in this regard whites and blacks are
more "ape-like" than Asians.
But if you're going to judge races this way then whites have hair form
and skin color closer to chimpanzees then do Blacks.
[/quote:9922f64346]
That's true, some races have some ape-like features which other races
don't have etc. I'm only concerned with genetically caused
intelligence differences. e.g Brain size or make-up.
[quote:9922f64346]When scientists try to find traits and genes from homo erectus
populations in modern populations they find none in Asians, Blacks, or
Whites. We're all equally modern and Homo Sapiens.
[/quote:9922f64346]
All they have is skeletons of homo erectus though, they don't have
DNA, how can they know what genes it had.
[quote:9922f64346]There are archaic
and homo erectus traits in Aborigines (from Solo Man perhaps) and they
are the only evolutionarily backward race IMHO.
[/quote:9922f64346]
What differences are there in Aborigines? Brain differences? |

It all depends. Orientals have more prognathism to go along with that
flatter face, for example. Strange, but true.
[/quote:8f7587f109]
I don't know where you got that data - but Asians are not prognathic. It's
a definite measurement - and only one race has a big of prognathism -
Africans.
[quote:8f7587f109]
The problem with the argument that blacks are more 'ape-like' is that
[/quote:8f7587f109]
Here it is in a nutshell. People tend to SEE Africans and think they look
like apes. JUST AS people tend to see my race and think we look like CATS.
Even BLACK people used to think we were "cat people" - and they were scared
of us for that reason (as if that makes any sense). It's a perception.
Some people look like horses - ever see that actress in the "Jason" movies?
She has a horse face. It's a perception that people tend to ALL SEE - and
they share this. I can see if about myself if I look in a mirror - CAT. Or
to a lesser extent, 0WOLF! It's a "shape/face similarity" thing in the
brain that humans just DO that has to do with recognition of "types." It's
not something you teach anyone, either. |
