       Our enemies return yet again to their favourite subject:
  HTML https://www.eurocanadians.ca/2023/03/latest-research-black-and-white-iq.html
       [quote]Richard Lynn in his pioneering 2015 book Race Differences
       in Intelligence: An Evolutionary Analysis, points out that when
       tests measure the intelligence of black and white university
       students from similar backgrounds whites still record an IQ
       advantage. Similarly, comparisons of elite African students with
       European university students show an IQ advantage for whites.
       Davide Piffer in a recent paper measuring gaps in intelligence
       between Africans and Europeans found that Europeans have higher
       polygenic scores for educational attainment than Africans. Due
       to significant differences between Africans and Europeans at the
       genetic loci linked to educational attainment, Piffer diminished
       environmental influences as a significant explanation for the
       black-white IQ gap. Furthermore, advances in admixture studies
       equally confirm the genetic basis of the black-white IQ gap.
       Using, data from the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort
       database, consisting of intelligence scores and the racial
       identity of participants, Lasker, and co-researchers examined
       the relationship between European ancestry and cognitive
       ability. That the researchers had access to the genotyped DNA
       samples of participants makes the findings particularly
       compelling. Intriguingly, the results reveal that European
       ancestry is a consistent predictor of cognitive ability and is
       significant in all regression models.
       Additionally, a complementary study by Meng Hu analyzed the
       association between European ancestry and cognitive ability in
       an American sample and opined that European ancestry correlates
       with intelligence. The author also found that blacks with more
       European ancestry have superior cognitive abilities. Researchers
       often observe a positive link between European ancestry and
       intelligence, however, the association between African ancestry
       and cognitive ability is negative as we will demonstrate.
       A companion paper by John G.R. Fuerst and co-workers, performed
       admixture regression analyses with data from the American
       Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Cohort and concluded that
       possessing African and Amerindian ancestry is negatively
       associated with intellectual ability. Even after controlling for
       socio-cultural factors, the authors still identify a negative
       link between non-European ancestry and cognitive ability. To
       explain these results, Fuerst and colleagues theorize that
       African, Amerindian, and other groups inherited alleles from
       their ancestors which make them susceptible to lower levels of
       cognitive ability.
       Because these findings are so contentious, John G.R. Fuerst did
       another study to explore the possibility that earlier results
       were a consequence of mismeasurement, but instead of refuting
       previous findings, Fuerst confirmed a robust link between lower
       cognitive ability and African ancestry. Even critical
       discussions of intelligence studies posit support for the
       black-white IQ gap. Davide Piffer in a recent paper measuring
       gaps in intelligence between Africans and Europeans found that
       Europeans have higher polygenic scores for educational
       attainment than Africans. Due to significant differences between

       One thing I find annoying is that classical liberals will
       characterize the detractor's comments as "relativist". Yet to be
       relativist one would have to deny the existence of absolute
       standards in poetry and claim that there is no way to make
       qualitative assessments, but the detractor is clearly not doing
       this.

       You are correct. The detractor explicitly provides a way to make
       qualitative assessments (learn every language in which poetry
       exists), and is merely pointing out (accurately) that Duchesne
       is not doing it this way. A true relativist would say that even
       if you learn every language, you can never be sure that your
       understanding of every language is exactly equal in depth, thus
       can never be sure whether your assessment that one poetry is
       better than another is due to an inequality in your
       understanding of the two languages involved as opposed to due to
       an inequality in the poetries themselves.
