There is without any question in my mind that this study is real and also that it will always be buried by the political correctness movement. Why can't we instead study and understand our differences that we might all fit better with each other on this small planet. Aside from the study, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that there are differences between us. We do not need to label one race, or group better than the other, which is the fear of even starting to talk about it. Rather just to acknowledge that we are different. Nurturing explanations only go so far.
It's funny to me, because I have friends of all walks of life. Blacks, Asian and many Hispanics and they all realize there are subtle differences among the races that exceed just "upbringing" nurture and so on.
If they were so damn smart they would still be here.
They were universally considered dumb brutes back before we started suspecting white people had their genes and blacks did not.
Lol...I noticed that too.

This talk about superiority and inferiority seems to reflect a fear of admitting to these differences.
At least three black people in this thread, including me, have acknowledged the difference.
So what fear are you talking about? Fear isn't what's at work here. But I know exactly what is. You do too.
But now that we have the acknowledgement and confirmations, where do we go from here? Tell us?
If it is true the differences are not worthy of note. Africans and Europeans can mate and produce viable offspring just like Europeans and say Pacific Islanders or Filipinos.
A young guy I work with came in with a wide brimmed jungle cap on his head last week. We thought it would be a great halloween costume if he got the old North Vietnamese soldiers field uniform with the harness for the AK- 47 magazines across his chest and where the name would be over the left chest pocket he could put his surname (McMurray) in over sized letters.
His father was Irish and his mother was from the Philippines, 2 people whos ancestors come from lineages that separated a long time ago.

Who in the hell hasn't acknowledged racial differences by now? It's 2016...I don't know a single person that thinks we're all the same either individually or racially.
Why is that? Do you see the smartest people thriving? Do you see rabbits having a problem? How come tigers, which are smarter than rabbits , are dying out? Why can we breed dogs smarter than wolves?
They were usually considered dumb brutes because people are generally ignorant.
In humans intelligence, before the welfare state, matters.
Neanderthals had bigger teeth and more muscle and were more acclimated to cold. The dumb brutes still all died off. A few rapists left their genes behind.

I agree with you, like I said using some of the other posters logic nothing is environment and everything is genetics period.
Uh what? Who does this? The only extremest position I see is the extreme position environmental supremacy . That is what is essentially being said with - we are all the same - and - we are all humans - . That is tantamount to human biodiversity having no relevance. I never see pure genetic determinism outside of an Internet troll.
Now I agree with the sentiment of wanting to prevent preselection bias, especially at the individual level. However we see the environmental supremacy paradigm going so far as social engineer to alter the outcomes.

And don't drop a load of disengenous b.s. either.
This study and this thread help to dispel the myth that all humans are genetically the same. That's it. You say you already believed in genetic differences between human populations. That's nice. Eat another cookie.
