ETHNICALLY PURE LIMITED GENE POOL is the correct term, kiddo. Chasing these primitive drives begets for you a primitive life. Remember.

@andycapp9063 You don't understand. It still lacks the genetic information contained in humans of other environments, exposure, pressures and conditioning. The variations among those 126 MILLION, is still low, due to existing within a similar ecosystem for a long time. Mixed race individuals have a larger pool to select and be created from. It's that simple. No dancing around it/ And "being world leaders in innovation as you say", has less to do with their genetics, and more to do with the ultimatum they had after the 2 nukes dropped. Get really good at something, or wither.

@mohal-sal3998 But of course there are differences across varying populations regarding "IQ", which in itself is a poorly formulated metric, with a very narrow ability to measure "intellectual capacities" as a whole. Charles Murray already proved that there are differences in IQ of people living in different environments for sufficiently long times. And that's right, differences do not mean inferiority/superiority. But then again it is also obvious that any IQ tests today, still fail to evaluate many aspects of the brain. I merely approached this thread from the angle of refuting what the Andy Capp guy said, so I didn't intend on going into detail, as it can get rather verbose, like this comment already. His claim was that 'Japan is ethnically pure, which is the reason they're world leaders in innovation, and therefore, ethnic purity is good'. I am also not a student of evolutionary biology, but then again, the value of being a "student in an institute" is no longer the same as it was 200, or 20 years ago. The knowledge is vastly more accessible online, compared to what any attended institute can ever teach an individual. The only thing that needs sharpening, is one's ability to distinguish pseudoscience from reality. So finally, to conclude it, yes, I totally agree that there are IQ differences among varying populations/races. No question about that. But we also know that IQ is not synonymous with overall intellectual capacity, and it only accounts for a handful out of the total specializations that a brain can do. And the main issue with the IQ scale, is that it almost convinces some people to think that the smartest people cannot come from the lowest average IQ populations, and the Highest average IQ populations will never have the dumbest people, which is untrue. Meaning that though it may succeed as a signifier of general herd IQ, it utterly fails at the individual level.

@mohal-sal3998 On the first paragraph, I mostly agree, though the nuance here, is the fact that despite it being a good predictor of "success at a national and individual level", it merely does that in a Narrow, Money Chasing/Capitalist System. It would get too complex writing down about the existential cost per person (and collective) giving a part of their single chance at living, to temporarily perpetuate this system of operating for our specie and getting validation in return. Genetics are inevitably, very important in "how intelligent a person can become". For some cliche examples; Einstein, Newton, Bach, were all very gifted genetically in certain departments, and their contributions have been fantastic, we can all agree. However, if they were born on a distant, tribal island far from civilization and a good education/specialization system, they would be NOTHING compared to what good education made them. No matter how fantastic their "intelligence based genes" were. They would be just another homo sapiens somewhere on a landmass, nothing more, nothing less. That is what Im trying to explain. Genetics and education. Both fail without the other, no matter how good. And within decades (or centuries if things go to shit) will come a point where every human will be given a level playing field. Genes will become irrelevant, and so will education systems. Every disease will be curable, every disadvantage, leveled. All the petty things humans bicker about now will become irrelevant. And finally, individuals will be able to live as themselves instead of being haunted by their genes, society, environment, etc.
