Gender differences make people plenty angry.

In theory, Liberals hate it. But in their everyday life, they support the equivalent of "Gender Apartheid" by still using the proper washrooms instead of say, a guy walking into the Women's changing room and telling all the girls to piss off.

I don't deny the possibility that there is some correlation between race and IQ or other genetic factors. But the sources that people cite for it are bad. The Bell Curve has been widely debunked as being bad science and I don't know of any other studies that have been done on the subject.

Race and IQ has more compelling evidence than the theory of gravity or atoms.

It's all based on Human Evolution. Ask yourself, do dogs have the same IQ as Humans? What about Squirrels? Or Ducks? Do you think dropping these animals in school or giving them lots of money will eliminate the gap? The answer should be a resounding NO.

The same logic applies for Human races. Blacks, Whites & Asians all diverged from one another and lived on separate continents for thousands of years. If their skin color is different, if their eye shapes are different, if their hair texture and color are different, that must also mean THEIR BRAINS HAVE TO BE DIFFERENT AS WELL!

Now look at history. Where where the most intelligent civilizations located? The Roman Empire. The Achaemenid Empire. The Ottoman Empire. The Spanish Empire. Or the Japanese Empire. They all took place in Europe or Asia.

It's not even possible to name a single 100% black country that can even rival those achievements. The Zulu or the Mali Empire, never even built ships and explored their own continent. It was Europeans who had to map the entire continent for them and tell them a world existed outside of their own jungle. Still think intelligence is distributed equally? Every piece of evidence in history says some races did far better than others.

Edit: Look at this chart I showed the other guy.

The first "Human" ancestor still looked like a Chimpanzee and probably behaved like one. They had far smaller brains and could only play with rocks instead of doing something really complex, like building a machine gun or airplanes. After millions of years, did we see each ancestor's brain change size over time and become much more smarter than their last parent. It wouldn't surprise me that Black intelligence came to a complete stop in the middle of this timeline. Whereas in Europe or Asia, there was continued pressure to be smart to survive their environments.

And these skull/brain differences can be officially seen to this day.

Like I said, I don't deny the possibility, but basing it on skull shapes is really grasping at straws.

Do you consider the brain an organ? An organ most responsible for making everyday decisions?

If you answered yes to all of the above, what is far fetched about races having different IQ level that correlates to their own brains being physically different?

A brain is just like a CPU you find in a computer. Many different models exist, which tends to influence how they all perform in the real world. Generally speaking, the most powerful computers are the ones that feature the most complex and up to date architecture. This is the logic I apply to why racial IQ's are different.

The Black Brain is far more primitive, having been created in an environment where only simple tasks where needed to survive.

The White Brain, improves upon the Black Brain's design, by adding newer functions and is heavily suited for a more complex world.

The Asian brain, is considered an improvement over both Race's design. Being the most complex in origin, and is highly adapted for living in a world that requires more complex thought.

The size of each brain and skull shape is reflected in how each Race evolved and became smarter. Imagine a Black Brain being a 1990 Computer, a White Brain is a 2005 Computer and an Asian Brain is a 2010 computer.

Now imagine you took the 2010 CPU and tried to put it inside a 1990 Computer? Chances are, it wouldn't actually fit or successfully turn on. Why? The physical differences are just too big at this point.

This same logic applies towards the Asian Brain and the Black Brain. Asian brains are considered much more bigger and complex than what the African Brain can produce. What else do we call these differences if not for physical limitations stemming from DNA?

I don't much care how far fetched a claim is, just whether or not there is any evidence for it. It it's silly to assert something when you have nothing to base the claim on.

Firstly you would need to determine whether there is a correlation between race and IQ before you determine whether those differences are based on craniology or some other genetic factor.

Professor Rushton did exactly as you said. Check out his research that compares everything (race, IQ, brain size, and other achievement gaps).

And if you're still not convinced for some reason, there's an even more modern paper that compares ancestry with intelligence. Those who self identified as having pure European blood had the highest intelligence. Those who considered themselves mixed (i.e Half Black/Half White) had intelligence in the middle range. And those who self identified as being completely Black, had the lowest intelligence.

Human evolution is completely founded on the idea that skull shapes evolving paved the way for more intelligent species.

Again, look at the chart I first showed you.

It's logical to assume that a bigger cranial capacity is what gave rise to more complex thoughts and actions. For example, think about where language comes from. When babies are first born, they have trouble talking. But by the time they are 6 or 7 years old, they should be able to form complete sentences. WHY would that be the case if not for how their brain had been developing the entire time? And why can't we assume that a child learning to talk is indeed a genetic response that comes completely from the organ responsible for it?

If we understand this or accept this as truth, then you should understand why Blacks having smaller brains also plays a huge role in the intelligence gaps. They are half way between the Chimps and the modern evolved Man. Their brains are about as developed as perhaps a White 6 year old kid, who still needs a alot of help to survive.
