The 10,000 Year Explosion - a book review

It is set out here how you could get a change in population averages over a much shorter time frame.

Statistical differences of what? Of course there are differences: color of skin, shape of the skull, texture of the hair, hairness, etc., etc., we all know that!
What I am saying that those difference that exist are in HARDWARE. Not necesarily involves different CPUs, and all they run the same Operating System

Got it?

If people is racist, they could be at least honest and for the right reasons, if they wish: people look different, and some people don’t like it.

But don’t invent theories of supremacy based on smoke! And if Blacks aren’t brillian in Africa, consider that continent is poor and analphabetism is the highest in the world! What could you expect in that environment?

In the case of Asian supremacy, of course there is a reason why they surpass causasians so easy. Asians work hard and all they long to succeed! While caucasians take it easy drinking beer and having fun.

With respect to Jewish superiority, just look how Jews are educated and lead to knowledge since childhood. While the caucasian want to be cool, the Jew what to be cultivated, learned, and able! That’s the difference.

Education and attitude. That’s all.

A person’s race is easily identifiable from the person’s skeleton or DNA.

The new scans for selection show so far that the populations on each continent have evolved independently in some ways as they responded to local climates, diseases and, perhaps, behavioral situations.

The concept of race as having a biological basis is controversial, and most geneticists are reluctant to describe it that way. But some say the genetic clustering into continent-based groups does correspond roughly to the popular conception of racial groups.

“There are difficulties in where you put boundaries on the globe, but we know now there are enough genetic differences between people from different parts of the world that you can classify people in groups that correspond to popular notions of race,” Dr. Pritchard said.

Another Social Darwinist source. Do you still believe in those guys after what happened in WWII?

And what are the difference of Dr. Pritchard? Or better, where in the evolutive scale Dr. Pritchard put himself? :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I’m referring to statistical differences in physical and cognitive characteristics. If you scroll down to the discussion of Greg Clark’s data you’ll see how you can get a significant shift in population mean over a thousand year period.

In 1995 whites whose parents only had high school degrees averaged higher IQ scores on the SAT than blacks whose parents had graduate degrees.

Again, in 1995 whites whose family incomes were less than $10,000 had better average SAT scores than blacks whose family exceeded $70,000.

What is a black and what is a white in the U.S.?
People is so mixed today in that country that even yourself can have African genes. Perhaps precisely those genes that dominate your intelligence, isn’t?

As I indicated above, self identified ethnicity seems to correspond almost perfectly to genetic clusters. And just to repeat, because genes occur in different frequencies across clusters you might see statistical differences. I gave you an example here from Clark’s data of how you can get a significant shift in population traits over about a 1000 year period.

What other book do you have? Something about pyramids?

What is you origin? For your signature, it seems you are Chinese, isn’t?
If so, are your ancestors from the North or from the South of China?
Because, as any Chinese know, one of those groups is the “superior” and the other is the “inferior”. I don’t know which is which. After all, I can’t distinguish two chinese from each other. :smack:

You seem to be getting off topic. In fact you’re now trying to use emotional rhetoric like “superior” and “inferior”. I’m referring to statistical differences. You know, empirical stuff. I’ve given you an example of how those differences can arise.

I see. You are Chinese.

The Chinese have low crime rates wherever in the world they live. They tend to do well on IQ tests.

Evolution happens with every new generation. Humans have evolved lots over the last 10K years, mostly reacting to disease and new diets (e.g. dairy).

This is why these discussions are so hard to have, people get caught up in tribal emotions & concerns of seeing others as better/worse. Remember if you’re talking about statistical differences you shouldn’t draw implications about individuals - so it’s not an excuse for prejudice.

And what is your origin? I bet you are Polish, aren’t you?

I’m still waiting. NCLB was not created to address racial disparities, so if the have not narrowed or changed (you haven’t posted any data, of course), that doesn’t prove those differences are innate and impossible to address. You also haven’t addressed any confounding factors like poverty.

Prejudice? Look who is talking. :rolleyes:

I have already posted this. Here it is again:

If you click on the following website, you will see that the race gap between white and black SAT scores has grown since 1990. It has continued to grow since 2001, when No Child Left Behind was inaugurated.
