What is the absolute truth about human DNA?

Is the "mainstream" claim that there is no genetic basis for race/ethnicity a lie?

Do White Europeans/Jews have genetics that lead them to invent a vastly greater number of things that the modern world rests upon?
>>
>Is the "mainstream" claim that there is no genetic basis for race/ethnicity a lie?
idk who claims that but obviously that is incorrect
>Do White Europeans/Jews have genetics that lead them to invent a vastly greater number of things that the modern world rests upon?
Impossible to verify either way since there are so many other factors

African Blacks never invented a written language (past pictograms) or wheeled-transportation prior to European arrival.
Civilizational trajectories can be accurately predicted from 1500 AD, and ancestry-adjusted state history explains 55.8% (r ≈ 0.75) of the variance in log per capita income (https://archive.li/gSSdm).
Blacks have an average IQ of 67 in Africa (https://richardlynn.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Race-Differences-in-Intelligence-An-Evolutionary-Analysis-second-edition.epub) and 82 in the US (https://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/2026/03/meta-analysis-of-american-race-differences-in-intelligence/). This is genetically-mediated (https://www.emilkirkegaard.com/p/a-plethora-of-evidence-for-genetic?utm_source=publication-search). They cost the US 28.8 trillion dollars (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7BAXqkr3UU). Blacks are 27 times more likely to attack Whites than vice versa. Hispanics are eight times more likely to attack Whites than vice versa (https://web.archive.org/web/20211013052248/https://archive.colorofcrime.com/2016/03/the-color-of-crime-2016-revised-edition/). Black crime is mediated by Black genetics (https://www.emilkirkegaard.com/p/direct-genetic-evidence-for-ethnic?utm_source=publication-search). $1,260 are generated per White, -$7,700 per Black, and -$7,289 per Hispanic (https://archive.li/vhRDX).

"In 2004 Leonard Lieberman reviewed several surveys of anthropologists in North America and Europe, and found that 31% of anthropologists in North America recognized race, while 43% in Europe recognized race"

"In 2001, Sun and Strkalj looked at 779 articles in “Acta Anthropologica Sinica”,China’s only biological anthropological journal. They were able to get 74 of the 78 issues that existed from 1982 to 2001. In it they found that 324 articles dealt with human variation. They described their results:

“When we applied Cartmill’s approach to the Chinese sample we found that all of the articles used the race concept and none of them questioned its value."

"A survey done by Snyderman and Rothman in 1984 found that 45% of researchers said that the black-white IQ gap was a mixture of genes and environment, 1% said it was totally genetic, 15% said that it was totally environmental, 14% did not respond, and 24% said there was insufficient evidence:
For the survey in 2013 by Rindermann, Coyle & Becker, they found that 42% of the 228 experts though that 0-40% of the black-white IQ gap was due to genes, 18% said that 50% of the gap was due to genes, and 39% said that 60-100% of the black-white IQ gap was due to genes:
In addition, 17% said that the black-white IQ gap was 0% genetic, and 5% of the experts said that the black-white gap was 100% genetic."

The lowest family income (1st decile) Whites commit less crime than the second (9th decile) highest family income Blacks (about 4x).

Kposowa, Breault, and Harrison 1995 analyzed crime variation across 2,078 U.S counties. The percent of the population that is black was a stronger explanatory variable than poverty, income inequality (gini), and unemployment, for explaining variation in both property and violent crime.

Yes. You will occasionally see some research documenting this, but they will dress it up as being caused by 'systemic racism'.

This just has to be fake. Ethiopia and the horn of Africa in general has had relatively prestigious histories. Even in spite of the famines that had recently occurred in Ethiopia by the time of this study I doubt it would lower the average iq by that much.

What pisses me off is when high iq people just sit there and do nothing. It’s like they’re paralyzed by analysis. But low iq people have no issue doing new and dumb shit.

This wasn’t always the case. There was a time when the high iq tried new and dumb shit, for the sake of science, but no longer!

The Ge'ez script uses the Ancient South Arabian alphabet (kek).

Also, regardless, it's stange that you chose an East African population as they're genetically differentiated from West Africans and the Amhara (~54%) and Oromo (~51%) exhibit the highest levels of West Asian, followed by the Somali (~44%) and Wolayta (~43%).

I can't really argue against blatant lies, so here's more data showing how wrong you are:

The first principle component in African genetics splits West and East Africa.

Genetic clustering is different across African populations (including East/West).

If you claim that there aren't genetic differences between two groups, then you obviously care about whether there are genetic differences between those two groups. Also, it's a false statement, and I will disprove false statements regardless of your whining.

>>17061533
>there's no evidence for causality whatsoever
You can validate genetic variants within-groups or siblings (make sure they have within-group predictive validity), then see if those genetic variants predict racial differences (essentially controlling for the common environment and social stratification).

Why are you seething over the fact that genetic differences exist within broader clusters? This is entirely non-controversial.

Also, those genetic differences do matter for actual phenotype (Especially with regards to admixture).

For example: "Analysis of 2625 ancient European genomes show extensive signals of selection for and against different traits. Positive selection for educational attainment, intelligence, autism, height, and selection against schizophrenia, depression, and neuroticism.

This pattern of results align with the genetic correlations of intelligence: all traits with positive genetic correlations with intelligence are under positive selection, and those with negative genetic correlations are under negative selection. This suggests selection for intelligence is driving much of this constellation of results.

There are some non-continuous changes in some genetic scores. These relate to population replacements. The farmers seem to be smarter than the hunter-gatherers, and their replacement increased intelligence faster than within population would have done. Group selection in action."

https://www.emilkirkegaard.com/p/what-do-ancient-genomes-show-about?utm_source=publication-search

Steppe ancestry is positively associated with height in Europeans.

"we detect a signal for increased height in the steppe populations (p=0.030 relative to the Central European Early and Middle Neolithic). These results suggest that the modern South-North gradient in height across Europe is due to both increased steppe ancestry in northern populations, and selection for decreased height in Early Neolithic migrants to southern Europe."

The number of races is arbitrary. It's just based on how many genetically similar groups you want. The population genetic structure of these groups (what causes similarity) is not arbitrary.

I hate this statement so much, because it's true. But midwits like you twist it and pretend it says something that it does not.

Male average height is 5'10". Female average height is 5'4". Thus the variation across sexes is 6 inches. Meanwhile, take the tallest and shortest male and find that difference is approximately 3 feet. Likewise with females.
>Hurr durr there is more variation within sex than across sexes
>Therefore the measureable average height difference between men and women is meaningless!!!!!111!1!1!1

Likewise let's take beard length. On average the beard length on women in near zero mm. For men the average bear length is a few mm. So the difference between beard lengths across sexes is a few mm. However the variation in beard lengths is on the order of a meter within males, and several cm within females.
>Herp derp la herp there is more variation in beard length within sexes than across sexes!1!1!1
>Ergo, the difference in beard lengths between men and women is a meaningless quantity!

Dishonest motherfuckers.

Genetics is false. The nucleus is the brain of the cell, and it can edit and rewrite its DNA, but it needs chromium to do so. The state when it's happening was incorrectly called "genomic instability" and incorrectly determined to be the cause of cancer.

Races are groupings based on genetic similarity that exhibit genetically-mediated phenotypic differences.

>>17061756
>variation within vs. between

There's more variation within humans and chimpanzees than between humans and chimpanzees. The same is true of men and women, genetically. Humans are diploid, so differences are predicted as VA G,B = 2FST*VA, C

"where, VA G,B is the genetic variance between groups
VA, C is the additive genetic variance in a common ancestral population
2FST is 2 times the fixation index with respect to low mutation rate biallelic polymorphs of the type that underlie the traits in question."
