It was in my set of links for evidence of my claims. Richard Lynn published a book titled The Global Bell Curve which contains IQ test results from all over the world and also shows that the racial hierarchy found here in the States is found the world over, and is the same the world over, you find an improvement in IQ scores and wealth and scholastic achievement going from Australian Aborigine/Black -> N. African/S. Asian/Native American/SE Asian/Latino/Pardo/Mulatto -> white -> E. Asian/Ashkenazi Jews no matter where you go. If this were due to environmental factors, why are they THE SAME all over the world? The cards fell the SAME way EVERY time? Based on the "Race and intelligence" Wikipedia article that I posted earlier, that's a huge question that not even scientists with PhD's can't agree upon. -"The concept of intelligence and the degree to which it is measurable is and has been a matter of discussion. Psychology, a psychology textbook by Schacter et al., argue that while there is a general consensus within western science about how to define intelligence, the concept of intelligence as something that can be unequivocably measured by a single figure is not universally accepted. A recurring criticism is that different societies value and promote different kinds of skills and that the concept of intelligence is therefore culturally variable and cannot be measured the same in different societies. Consequently, some critics argue, that proposed relationships to other variables are necessarily tentative." One of my personal theories is that the cooler climates White & Asians come from forced them to stay inside for longer periods of time & find other non-physical activities to entertain themselves with. The interesting point here is that whatever environment in Brazil, all the different races were exposed to it. Japanese workers were brought in to Brazil to replace the freed black slaves. I'm not going to pretend that the environment is the same for EVERY race even in the same country, but the Japanese came over as poor farm workers and lived initially in squalor in conditions not much better than the black slaves, yet they are doing much better than blacks there today. The same story plays out about tons of immigrants is several countries in the world, such as whites in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, S. Asians in Southern Africa, Chinese in SE Asia, and E. Asians and Jews here in the States. They all started out dirt broke, yet look at them today. You could look around for "non-intelligence factors", but only IQ makes sense as a consistent and thorough explanation for this. Remember that Asians & Whites are the result of some of the original black humans that migrated from Africa to Europe & Asia & became they the race they are because of that migration & climate change. I'd imagine that when blacks were forced to migrate to other parts of the world it became hard for them to advance in those parts of the world since Whites and/or Asians were already in positions of power in those areas. |
