Is there a link between race and intelligence? Like, after controlling for any other variable. Does similar income and environment produce less intelligent Blacks than Asian or Whites?

nope

there's only 1 race, btw

>>8149248
Yes, that's likely.
Further research is needed though, we don't have a lot good data. It doesn't help that psychology is so soft, so data is likely to be pretty noisy. Remember the crisis of replicability.

Link between genetics and intelligence is certain.

But race and intelligence? I'd wager the difference is barely notable, although we would need a lot more data.

Short and long answer is, we do not know. Nothing further to discuss tbqh.
>>
>>8149299
Individual variance is much larger than inter-racial variance. There is a difference but only as an aggregate (average) over a large group of people.
Tldr, even if you're german if you're modestly stupid an aboriginal will easily be smarter than you.

Not really. You probably misunderstood or purposefully attempted to make what I wrote look bad, which is typical of posters like you. Read it again, highlighting the "difference" word. As in, the difference in genetics that influence intelligence being notable BETWEEN races. If the perceived gap in intelligence was in fact mostly genetic, you would probably never get black intellectuals or smart black people in general. Environmental factors fit the fluctuation and variance of IQ ideally. Genetics still form part of the phenotypical intelligence in every race, but a handicap in intelligence in one race's genetics but not the others is pretty much impossible, which is what I was referring to. Which leaves out minor differences between racial genetics that contribute to intelligence as the only option.

yes

but maybe humans shouldn't be generalized into categories based on rather smug interpretations about the value of intelligence versus other factors? really makes you think

There are intelligence differences.

Of course there are links.

Only people brainwashed by political correctness think there is none.

You may say cultural difference, but the cultural expression in all its manifoldness is proof enough.

Africa with all its resources is inhabited with mental retards.

That's sweet irony.

Culture sprouts from the inherent capabilities of the people that create it.

Would an island full of people with downs syndrome develop a culture that values reading books on philosophy? No.

It's not impossible, but the jury is still out and it's such a politically charged question that it's unlikely we'll have a real answer any time in the near future. That being said, it's nowhere near as obvious a "no" as the PC crowd will screech at you.

https://www1.udel.edu/educ/gottfredson/30years/Rushton-Jensen30years.pdf

Though I do have a big issue with the Rushton Jensen results in that they lump "black" into a single group. People from Africa have the highest levels of genetic diversity in the world. There is no "the" blacks to put into a single sample, and minimally one needs to partition this in a sensible way.

The answer is probably much more complicated than either political side wants to hear about.

Dude, any other HS test in the world would be more complicated than the SAT, including (especially) the African ones. Americans that haven't specialized in math just tend to suck more at it than average. It's probably better this way though.

This study found a very strong link between race and IQ, though it was unceremoniously declared "inconclusive" for weird reasons.

>>8149248
No. Sociology is an impossible size. There have been no controlled studies of babies of different race under the exact same environment.
>>
>>8151063
Because the data could be use to support either hypothesis that it was a genetic factor or the social environment.
Also, deviations of 10% are not "very strong links"

Realize that these are generally not even considered pure within their ethnic groups, let alone the distribution of their non-scientifically measured "race"/genes

if the answer to that was comfortable, there would be a study done about it that could shut down these questions. but there isn't.
