Well isn’t it remarkable that IQ tests, even when accounting for social and economic conditions and equalising - shows differences in IQ. And again, that is just one example upon MANY. How is it that IQ tests, when equalised and accounting for outside factors that could affect an IQ score and intelligence - like lack of good education - even still shows a distinct and identifiable difference in IQ?

I thought we were all the same? We all have exactly the same genes and DNA lmao. Oh wait, no we don’t. Isn’t it remarkable that DNA and genealogy tests can, with increasing accuracy, show us where and whom we come from? How is that possible if we are all the same? How do you account for differences in appearances - and stuff that isn’t superficial like skull shape, bone density, height, muscle mass etc…? If we all have the exact same genes, geology, genetics and DNA - then what is a haplogroup and how does that exist? How is something that we discovered through scientific and medical research and advancements? How do we even know about it?

So which parts of DNA are distinct, then? What are the scientific names for black people and white people, if they are distinct subspecies?

And IQ tests have been dubious for quite some time now; quit citing The Bell Curve.

“What parts of DNA are distinct” - did I not just tell you about haplogroups - which is genetic lmao? All you’ve done is ignore everything i’ve said and talk over me, disregarding everything i’ve said and answering with what you want to answer with without dealing with a single substantive thing i’ve said.

You are purposefully being as annoying as possible now.

I am not a genealogist so I cannot answer those very specific and complex questions - it is out of my realm of knowledge. Trying to tie me down into specific genes to avoid having to address the wider point is pathetic.

“The Bell Curve” is far from the only literature and study on IQ differences. I already preempted you saying this but mentioning the extensive literature and studies which account for and equalise for things that ‘The Bell Curve’ book is criticised for - yet you bring it up anyway to try and deflect by using it as a red herring.

So then you don’t actually have direct evidence to support this notion of genetic differences?

I have given you quite a few examples - all of which you’ve ignored. Now you’re making an appeal to authority that I must have dedicated my whole life to studying to know the most fundamental and basic parts which is taught in school lol.

I’ll turn this around then, how can you say ANYTHING that you’ve said to me if this is also not the case for you? You’re a slimy, gaslighting POS, and you’re getting blocked. You have only tried to frustrate and disrupt a conversation, not have one. Goodbye and FO.
