    Now that we've established Race exists Scientifically, we can look at some of the differences that aren't as obvious as the Physical traits that Define them.

    Why do the country and world look the way they do? "Racism"?
    I don't think so.
    People accuse anyone who acknowledges the obvious as Racist, White Supremacist, etc, but 'Whites' are NOT at the top of the IQ pyramid.
    We see alot of Political opinion/PC in this respect, but the country/world only makes sense in light of IQ differences between the races.

    This is also an excellent Primer on how IQ tests [do] work and what they measure.
    IQ expert Linda Gottfredson (professor emeritus of educational psychology, University of Delaware and co-director of the Delaware-Johns Hopkins Project for the Study of Intelligence and Society) is interviewed/converses with up-tempo Stefan Molyneux.

    I post below what WAS just part of her page at Wikipedia a year+ ago.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Gottfredson
    But guess what, it's is now shrunken dramatically and to include mainly criticism.

    Wikipeda can be useful but entries change every year to the LEFT and PC
    Entries aren't just edited, they are unrecognizable on PC things like Islam, Race and IQ, etc from their predecessors.
    The PC get to every entry and get it changed.

    Race differences in average IQ are largely genetic
    https://www.news-medical.net/news/2005/04/26/Race-differences-in-average-IQ-are-largely-genetic.aspx


    ...Race differences show up by 3 years of age, even AFTER matching on maternal education and other variables," said Rushton.
    "Therefore they CANNOT be due to poor education since this has not yet begun to exert an effect. That's why Jensen and I looked at the genetic hypothesis in detail. We examined 10 categories of evidence."

    1. The Worldwide Pattern of IQ Scores. East Asians average higher on IQ tests than Whites, both in the U. S. and in Asia, even though IQ tests were developed for use in the Euro-American culture.
    Around the world, the average IQ for East Asians centers around 106; for Whites, about 100; and for Blacks about 85 in the U.S. and 70 in sub-Saharan Africa.


    4. Brain Size Differences. Studies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) find a correlation of brain size with IQ of about 0.40. Larger brains contain more neurons and synapses and process information faster. Race differences in brain size are present at birth. By adulthood, East Asians average 1 cubic inch more cranial capacity than Whites who average 5 cubic inches more than Blacks.

    5. Trans-Racial Adoption Studies. Race differences in IQ Remain following adoption by White middle class parents. East Asians grow to average higher IQs than Whites while Blacks score lower. The Minnesota Trans-Racial Adoption Study followed children to age 17 and found race differences were even greater than at age 7: White children, 106; Mixed-Race children, 99; and Black children, 89.

    10. Do Culture-Only Theories Explain the Data? Culture-only theories do not explain the highly consistent pattern of race differences in IQ, especially the East Asian data. No interventions such as ending segregation, introducing school busing, or "Head Start" programs have reduced the gaps as culture-only theory would predict.
