    A few years ago there was a classification printed stating some one's assessments that had the Japanese at the top of the list, err the black population did not fare to well, not racist just commenting
    There is a fine line between "Hobby" and "Madness"

    I’m sure genetics play a part in many differences between the various races of the world. Why not intelligence?

    Genetics plays a part in obesity, subsepability to addiction, subsepability to cancer, hair color, in fact everything.

    I think the challenge here is to disprove his statement

    Across all races the traits you mention have as much to do with society in most cases as anything else. There is absolutely NO evidence that development in ANY environment limits the intelligence of the human species as a whole, merely it's knowledge.

    Prove it does and win your own Nobel Prize.

    The old guy is right - there were several scientific reviews about 20 years ago and these found that oriental asians are the most intelligent race, followed by Caucasians then followed by africans - now these results apply to populations and not individuals.

    This scientific research was criticised as being racist but when peer reviewed nothing was found in the process that was racist. Just as highlighting the differences between men and women these days risks sexist claims where clearly there are physical differences.

    I don’t see how one (making the discovery) that wins the Nobel prize, has anything to do with the other (having an opinion, reprehensible or otherwise) which loses him the Nobel Prize, bunch of f#cking hypocrites if you ask me. He should be remembered for his discovery, and remembered for his opinion, but not have one negate the other, that’s what I thought in ‘07, and my view hasn’t changed.
