I'm sorry, but the actual data on genetic clustering shows you're wrong. https://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2016/04/15/329/

It's also a scientific fact that races differ in average brain size and skull volume and shape. Blacks have smaller brain size than Europeans on average. https://files.catbox.moe/ebk1wd.png

Skull shape and brain size https://i.ibb.co/6Wgdifferences.

The link you provided shows illustrations of skulls, not actual photos of skulls themselves, unlike the example given by radicalcentrist. They also dishonestly make the Indian and African skulls huge compared to the European skull.

I didn't say that there's not differences in the means. Given a skull, a biological anthropologist with vernier calipers and a calculator could make a decent estimate of the race of the deceased. They wouldn't get it right 100% of the time though.

Probably related to the Neanderthal genes in Europeans. Neanderthals had a larger brain size still.

Needless to add, any implication about intelligence based on that is obviously misguided.

We never claimed that racial differences are 100%. We have only claimed that there are average differences between races that matter. It seems like you agree with this and are mostly concerned with the implications of racial dofferences.

Brain size actually correlates with IQ. Plus a bunch of reasons to think brain size effects intelligence. How do you explain homo sapien increases in intelligence over our ancestors if not for brain size?

Also, the Black/White IQ gap hasn't really changed much at all given the radical egalitarian changes and advantages blacks have been given, someone with your point of view should actually be shocked at how little the gap has changed.

Lol, of course without any evidence to make this claim
