Race and Intelligence

Not OP but pretty sure Watson hasn't backed down. Not that it means anything that he believes these things, old scientists believe all kinds of shit.

spotted the cuck, can you go back to ur shed please?

Homo sapiens did not get out of africa 20.000 years ago and its proven he.mixed with neanderthals
Also, intelligence is part of the phenotype
And nature doesn't "directly select" anything

Brainlet spotted

white people do all those things

From the first link

>Science has become just as dogmatic and rigid as religions are. Free thinkers in the past led scientific revolutions who incorporated many different notions into their work including their own religious and spiritual beliefs. But modern science follows a strict code, stifling any creativity because of "facts". "Facts" are 100% true beliefs which will certainly not be dismantled and laughed at in 100 years time when our understanding is not dependent on concepts such as "everything is fixed and ordered".

Do you know how financing for research works? Do you know that declaration by scientists are coherced by the.historical period?

>ITS ALL A CONSPIRACY!

Sorry but you have zero understand of how this works. Science is about observing reality. No amount of raiding and shitposting on Veeky Forums is going to turn the sky purple, turn the moon into cheese, or change the reality that we can test thousands and thousands of people's DNA and make observations about it.

Science is not about "winning debates" online. It's about presenting data. Take your tinfoil hate and political agenda elsewhere.

>believing in XIX century-tier evolution
Do you also believe in the good savage myth? Lmaoing.at ur.brain

That is nowhere in the first link.

>Lmaoing.at ur.brain
Wow that was so gay i think i just got aids

No conspiracy here
Simply scientists must censor themselves in social.issues or they won't receive financial support/be persecuted (many scientists werw persecuted in nazy Germany and forced to push the "muh Aryan" meme to keep in with their searches. This goes back tho fucking.Socrates)

>Science it's about presenting data
No

Evolution also requires selection pressure. Otherwise yeah pretty much.

Are you retarded? It's literally the conclusion of the first link

You are implying its a conspiracy. That is not how funding works either.

Why isn't science PC on other issues like climate change, GMOs, NASA budget, vaccinations, nuclear energy, etc? Why only race? Do you have any evidence that scientists are being censored or did you just make this up?

The truth is we've been studying human genetics and evolution for decades. We just aren't getting the answers YOU want. Reality is reality. Deal with it.

Is there actually any proof that there's significant differences in intelligence between the races? Even if scientists were hesitant to go against the zeitgeist, there'd have to be evidence somewhere

Of course there is.

That's never debated. The most normal question is why? Which for a long time has been basically taboo to answer with genetics.

Do you even know what the meaning of conspiracy is? Link it from any dictionary if you want, it still won't mean what you think I'm saying
Then I'll answer

How it is possible that intelligence is the only phenotypical trait equal in all the races?

>How it is possible that intelligence is the only phenotypical trait equal in all the races?

Conclusions sections doesn't reveal anything either.

Ctrl + F doesn't lie.

I hope you're just pretending

>Clustering of individuals is correlated with geographic origin or ancestry. These clusters are also correlated with some traditional concepts of race, but the correlations are imperfect because genetic variation tends to be distributed in a continuous, overlapping fashion among populations. Therefore, ancestry, or even race, may in some cases prove useful in the biomedical setting, but direct assessment of disease-related genetic variation will ultimately yield more accurate and beneficial information.
tl;dr: There is some amount of correlation about race and genetics and when you have no better alternative then you may use race as a last resort to try and make some inferences about a piece of data however said inferences aren't guaranteed to be correct and nothing compares to assessing genetic data directly.

>The pattern of decrease in genetic diversity along colonisation routes is very smooth and does not provide evidence for major genetic discontinuities that could be interpreted as evidence for human ‘races’
tl;dr: Just some basic results about population genetics and why "race" is a shit tier social science concept.

>Using the two most commonly used biological concepts of race, chimpanzees are indeed subdivided into races but humans are not. Adaptive traits, such as skin color, have frequently been used to define races in humans, but such adaptive traits reflect the underlying environmental factor to which they are adaptive and not overall genetic differentiation, and different adaptive traits define discordant groups. There are no objective criteria for choosing one adaptive trait over another to define race. As a consequence, adaptive traits do not define races in humans. Much of the recent scientific literature on human evolution portrays human populations as separate branches on an evolutionary tree. A tree-like structure among humans has been falsified whenever tested, so this practice is scientifically indefensible. It is also socially irresponsible as these pictorial representations of human evolution have more impact on the general public than nuanced phrases in the text of a scientific paper. Humans have much genetic diversity, but the vast majority of this diversity reflects individual uniqueness and not race.

tl;dr: An anthropology paper (social science) that is still using shit tier pre-modern genetics methods like taxonomy on the "hard science" side of their argument.

>It is often taken for granted that the human species is divided in rather homogeneous groups or races, among which biological differences are large. Studies of allele frequencies do not support this view, but they have not been sufficient to rule it out either........Genetic variation remains high even within small population groups. On the average, microsatellite and restriction fragment length polymorphism loci yield identical estimates. Differences among continents represent roughly 1/10 of human molecular diversity, which does not suggest that the racial subdivision of our species reflects any major discontinuity in our genome.
>But what do these results imply for the race concept? Although no consensus has ever been reached on how many races exist in our species, with proposed figures ranging from 3 to 200 (20), in general a species is divided in races when it can be regarded as an essentially discontinuous set of individuals (21). Studies on a limited number of populations, like ours, cannot exclude that there are true discontinuities in the distribution of some genetic markers all over the world. However, only for one of the 109 loci studied was the within-population component of variance less than 50% of the total. If loci showing a discontinuous distribution across continents exist, they have not been observed in this study, and so the burden of the proof is now on the supporters of a biological basis for human racial classification.

>Genetic variation in humans is sometimes described as being discontinuous among continents or among groups of individuals, and by some this has been interpreted as genetic support for “races.” A recent study in which >350 microsatellites were studied in a global sample of humans showed that they could be grouped according to their continental origin, and this was widely interpreted as evidence for a discrete distribution of human genetic diversity. Here, we investigate how study design can influence such conclusions. Our results show that when individuals are sampled homogeneously from around the globe, the pattern seen is one of gradients of allele frequencies that extend over the entire world, rather than discrete clusters. Therefore, there is no reason to assume that major genetic discontinuities exist between different continents or “races.”

tl;dr: Another paper on population genetics that has nothing to do with race

>However, only a minimal fraction of alleles, and a small fraction of combinations of alleles along the chromosome, is restricted to a single geographical region (and even less so to a single population), and diversity between members of the same population is very large. The small genomic differences between populations and the extensive allele sharing across continents explain why historical attempts to identify, once and for good, major biological groups in humans have always failed. Nevertheless, racial categorization is all but gone, especially in clinical studies. We argue that racial labels may not only obscure important differences between patients but also that they have become positively useless now that cheap and reliable methods for genotyping are making it possible to pursue the development of truly personalized medicine

tl;dr: Points out that race as a biological notion hasn't been taken seriously for a long time but also argues that race as a social construct is similarly harmful and shit tier. Instead the paper explores alternative notions to race.

>In the past, concepts drawn from genetics have been used—both by geneticists and by individuals outside the field—to justify and perpetuate racial and ethnic discrimination (Kevles 1985; Provine 1986). The belief that racial and ethnic groups have substantial, well-demarcated biological differences and that these differences are important has contributed to many of the great atrocities of the 20th century and continues to shape personal interactions and social institutions (Mosse 1985; Shipler 1997).
tl;dr: Modern geneticists should be wary of these terms (race, ethnicity, etc..).

Good work user. Now watch as the /pol/ memesters don't even find one article to prove the opposite and cry about social pressures

Watson isn't a stormfag. He's just full of himself and is prone to saying all silly shit that comes to his head. Look up some of his quotes. They are hilarious.
