does reciprocal relation exists between race and intelligence? that certain intelligence and wit is only available to some while the others were denied of it, and the deciding factor is the race that you belong to.

or is it just a corresponding coincidence of genetic variance within races that so by luck the intelligence was inherited through blatant polygamous activities which would inadvertently give bloom to a whole community of intellectuals.

you can always refer to real GDP for comparison to this IQ score chart of their achievements.

the data came from wikipedia. as stated as "sos". as unreliable as it is, its a good impetus to stimulate a discussion dont you think?

and as about the jews, i belief their immunity in the society is very much pivotal to their selective breeding way of surviving. see how the jews often made links with eugenism? even the nazi third reich were felt threatened by their presence.

back in those days, christians were forbidden from reaping self profit through money lending and businesses of that nature.

so the jews jumped at the chance which thence made the jews far richer than anyone else and so did their ability to afford to have more offspring. financial freedom gave them the opportunity to expand in every ways at the rate faster than anyone else.

so from that, can i safely assume that race is very much a determinant for intelligence? after all how you were brought up often has a bearing to the norms practiced by the race youre part of. yes?

there is no universal scale that measures intelligence without the result skewed biasly.

true that the bushmen are the outliers here, so lets take them out of the context and compare those that are of the same given education, environmental factors and health conditions.

and take a look at stereotypes ie indians = doctors, chinese = accountants etc. these stereotypes should account for a certain degree of credibility for it to become a generalization right?
