The Study in the OP is in china where they have a population over 1 billion. Different standards for living and over avg a much higher college success rate. I don't think it's applicable to compare it to America. Also there was a period of time where china didn't communicate with the outside world. That is part of their genetics.

BUT, what you have to remember is, evolution takes a long fucking time. In fact, that was the crucial bit that let Darwin discover evolution: it wasn't until he understood how old the Earth was that he realized species could change over time. So while there's little doubt that there was a (horrifying) selective force applied to the evolution of African-Americans, in practice that force was only applied for a very short time, in the evolutionary sense.

So even if China barred entry to foreigners for a few years, A) they were plenty diverse to start, B) that period was only a tiny speck in terms of evolutionary time. Honestly a much bigger "anti-diversity" effect came much earlier in China's history. Ghengis Khan had A LOT of offspring, so many in fact that like 1 in 200 people on the entire planet are descended from him (and obviously China has an even higher ratio).

Absolutely agree with the initial premise of your first sentence, but everything thereafter is entirely wrong. I didn't say that intelligence was exclusively genetic, nor does the article make that claim. Not even the well established and uncontroversial understanding of the nature of g imply any such thing. Feel free to waylay the phantoms though.

![]() Have you guys heard of the “Bell Curve” research work written in the 90’s? It is been debunked to death. I’ll link some scholarly journals later.
