[quote=desertdetroiter;45607849]You believed it until you found out that blacks aren't descended from them.
/QUOTE]
Actually no. I have no reason to think that.
I think Neanderthal DNA probably has relatively little to do with racial differences. My guess is they have more to do with differences in how challenging it was to survive in their habitat.
Liberals love white racists. It makes tarnishing conservatives so easy.
Thing is, non-bigoted conservatives hardly bother with policing their own bigots. You guys let them slide way too easily. Especially conservative white guys with non-white wives and half-white children, who SHOULD be making double the effort to protect their family from racist assaults, but too many are too timid, or have divided loyalties (should I protect my family, or should I side with the anti-PC crowd?). Welcome to our world. Please enjoy your stay.
Can you show me a study which backs up this claim? That there is greater genetic diversity. I can see it makes sense if it is a genetically isolated group like the Khoi (Which the article mentions) but that's about it.
Africa has the most genetic diversity. You can find the studies to support this easily.
You believed it until you found out that blacks aren't descended from them.
Agreed.
We have to share the damn planet regardless, so we may as well figure out a way to all live here together despite our differences.
I must admit to the schadenfreude.
Same here. I have no problem with white people in general. One of my grandparents was white for crying out loud. But it's white supremacists who I have a problem with. They are hostile to me, I pose no threat to them.

I am actually more of a libertarian with a conservative streak. But you are correct. Partisans on both sides of the aisle do not correct their idiots. They should.
You let the cat out of the bag with your second to last sentence. You don't like this path of inquiry because you are afraid of what the results might be.
My interest has nothing to do with superiority or inferiority. It has everything to do with the fact that we have been lied to about "we're all the same". We aren't all the same and that is evident. I am interested in any science that shows the lies for what they are.
As for superiority versus inferiority, it's a pointless argument because it's relative to the environment. In modern society, stronger intellectual traits are more valuable than physical traits. But if society fell apart, physical traits would once again be superior in terms of surviving.
I'm not afraid of what the results will be. As a matter of fact, I hope blacks are proven to be inferior. That way whenever a black person is smarter than you, then you can go back to the drawing board. At the end of the day what is the purpose of this? What is the agenda, what's the end game. I'd be way more interested in knowing what you actually plan to do with this information, more so than you finding the information. I've argued with race realist for years, nearly a decade, and I have never received a straight answer as to why it's SOOO important. All I get are "it's extremely important", but for what. Every black person isn't idiot, and every white person isn't a super genius.

There's nothing to do with the information except maybe to refer to it when leftists are blathering on about structural racism.
And you are right - there are smart blacks and dumb whites. That's how statistics work. I haven't seen anyone here claim all blacks are dumb or all whites are smart?
Decades of IQ testing don't reflect that though. The groups without Neanderthal DNA have IQs as low as in the 60s and 70s. Was the Neanderthal DNA what resulted in higher intelligence? Who knows? But it is probably not wise to assume low Neanderthal intelligence because of Hollywood movies and Geico commercials.
As for why the Neanderthals died out and humans didn't, there could be many reasons. They might have had other genetic weaknesses. They might have been bred out due to overbreeding with humans. Maybe they reproduced much less that humans and were killed by humans faster than they could reproduce. We will probably never know.
You might want to ask for a refund for that degree. The different species of bears can mate and produce viable offspring. Donkeys can mate with horses. Wolves can mate with dogs. Neanderthals could mate with homo sapien sapiens.
And non-African humans and African humans can mate. Look up the definition of species. Dogs are descended from wolves. Those different bears you're referring to are subspecies. I suppose you can write to the professors at Duke's evolutionary biology department and explain to them why you're right and they're wrong. Many scientists still classify Neanderthals as a subspecies of Homo sapiens.
What inane comment? You mean the people who don't know what the definition of species is, yet try to argue genetics? Now THAT is laughable!
You are speaking about yourself here. You don't seem to know that interspecies mating happens in nature and is not a rare occurrence. The list of species that are interfertile is extensive and this is especially true in plants.
