BASED article 'women are in fact much closer genetically to being chimps than men are. Some have even interpreted the research to mean that men are "more evolved" than women. Technically speaking this is correct'

Average IQ for male and female is the same.

no it isn't. regardless the test doesn't properly equate the enormous gulf in logic and reasoning and its importance which is all encompassing. i'm not reading the rest of your garbage post. you're a woman aren't you? no wonder you can't handle the truth. truth will always be a woman's greatest enemy.

Yes it is.

Lol.

The Smarter Sex? Women's Average IQ Overtakes Men's

The enormous gulf in logic and reasoning

Well you certainly don't come up to my level.

Some advice, don't rant on about superior male intelligence if you don't reach double digits yourself bro.

ah the old flynn controversy beloved by the media for a short while. too bad most studies either show parity or a slight male advantage.

Overwhelmingly it's parity.

If it's showing an advantage it's because it's has sampling issues, like the Lynn study on college students.

There's no coding on a y chr that could increase IQ. Also, once you adjust for body fat, the EQ of male and female works out the same, which is important because if you gain or lose 20lbs your IQ won't change. Someone morbidly obese has the same EQ as a chimp, and EQ has a much better relationship to the brain size/IQ predictive theory if you go by fat free mass only.

Short version: it doesn't take brain cells to manage body fat.

This rather strengthens the IQ to brain size correlation, which makes things like predicting IQ by a brain scan even more accurate. As it is you can place IQ into low/average/high by a brain scan alone in about 95% of cases. I suspect if you corrected for lean body mass that would be way more accurate.

Which is going to cause a lot of issues, because average brain size varies by ancestry. It's why I stayed the hell away from that when looking at possible thesis subjects. On the surface it looks like an SJW dream (it solves the apparent sex brain size difference) but if you give it a seconds thought you realise its another nails the coffin of 'no race differences in IQ'.

That's a career ended before it began.

The alt right doesn't know whether to go yay or nay to it either. On the one had it's more data supporting population differences, and it eliminates the possibility that the IQ tests are biased. On the other hand men aren't smarter on average.

They are torn.

most try to adjust for that at least

but anyways it's pointless to scour about for some ideal intelligence gene as it is a culmination of genetic and environmental factors that influence cognition with sex chromosomes and differing gene expressions and hormones being responsible for varying degrees of sex differences. the alt right is generally retarded on a lot of issues so it would come as no surprise if they were to pick some half-arsed soft race realist approach as their hill to die on just as long as they can keep shitting on black men. an approach not too dissimilar from their past love of using asian and JEWISH iq stats as a tool for similar purposes, i guess ultimate white supremacy takes a backseat on some things
