The Real Science on the Relationship Between Race and Intelligence

Here's the famous 2002 study that speculated, based on a single citation buried in the Discussion, that genetic factors might be at play in determining intelligence. Race isn't even mentioned, and there appears to be no reason to even mention genetic factors. However, it was too soon to link socioeconomic status (SES) to intelligence so directly, and so, they tried to come up with a competing hypothesis to temper the obvious conclusion here. Here's a quote: "Specifically, children from low SES families scored on average 6 IQ points lower at age 2 than children from high SES backgrounds; by age 16, this difference had almost tripled."
>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4641149/#bb0170

By 2012 the genetic hypothesis was cast into serious doubt by this study, which concluded that genetic factors for intelligence had a roughly equal effect for both low- and high-SES backgrounds, and even then, the study concludes that the apparent intellectual advantage for high-SES families (which was still observed in this study) appears to totally cancel out by adulthood, and may not even be relevant.

So no, race probably doesn't determine intellectual capacity, but socioeconomic factors (which are often closely linked to race) do.

If you disagree, post your (legitimate) studies to receive a response. I'll wait.

Holy shit OP this doesn't fit your narrative! Whadda ya gonna do now??

>he doesn't realize dogs can be bred for certain intelligence and behaviour like pit bulls, dachshunds and border collies
>he doesn't realize rats can be genetically modified with human genes to become smarter

Here's a shocker- poor families don't tend to adopt children, and so don't get included in these studies because poor, adoptive families don't really exist. Adoptive parents are almost always quite well-off, and able to provide an excellent upbringing for their children. This study was poorly designed and improperly controlled for this reason alone, because it utterly failed to take into account how adoption agencies tend to select for parents with high-SES.

Then you also have to consider that the study did not mention the size of the difference in IQ, on average or otherwise. How big was it? a difference of 2 IQ points or 10? Who's IQs are they comparing? The mother's? The father's? Both? Or an average of both?

It also claimed that there was "zero" correlation between adoptive parents' IQ and the adopted child. That's extremely unlikely, though not impossible, but what it means is that instead of having all the data points lining up 99% of the time (a decisive correlation), the data points line up 0% of the time. I call bullshit on that claim.

Basically, where's your fucking data, you dumb cunt?

The point is that a high IQ family that is capable of providing for the child will still have a low IQ kid if the genetic parents were low IQ

And yes, 0 correlation is a thing

Hurr duur every other animal on the planet inherits brain characteristics genetically but humans are SPECIAL

Also did you forget how percentages work? Yes the group of black students is smaller, but the passing percentage is much lower in that group than the white passing percentage

You are utterly unfamiliar with the literature. Educate yourself you ignorant moron:
