Quote:
If your heritage is non-African, you are part Neanderthal, according to a new study in the July issue of Molecular Biology and Evolution. Discovery News has been reporting on human/Neanderthal interbreeding for some time now, so this latest research confirms earlier findings.

Damian Labuda of the University of Montreal's Department of Pediatrics and the CHU Sainte-Justine Research Center conducted the study with his colleagues. They determined some of the human X chromosome originates from Neanderthals, but only in people of non-African heritage.

"This confirms recent findings suggesting that the two populations interbred," Labuda was quoted as saying in a press release. His team believes most, if not all, of the interbreeding took place in the Middle East, while modern humans were migrating out of Africa and spreading to other regions.

The ancestors of Neanderthals left Africa about 400,000 to 800,000 years ago. They evolved over the millennia mostly in what are now France, Spain, Germany and Russia. They went extinct, or were simply absorbed into the modern human population, about 30,000 years ago.

Blacks are inferior as a matter of science, to be rebuffed by the feeble-minded because it offends their sensibilities, news at 11.

How does interbreeding make non-blacks superior?

So it makes them better at surviving cold environments? Science already knew that--it's why Black peoples living in far-northern or southern environments need more sun than non-whites. They adapted to a sun-rich environment. They can develop a vitamin D deficiency elsewhere.

On the flip side, in sun-rich environments, lighter-skinned peoples are MASSIVELY more at risk. The rate of skin cancer for whites is many times that for blacks (over 20, iirc).

So I fail to see how whites are better in any objective sense from this interbreeding.

The reasons why white people (in general) hold the most power right now has nothing to do with race. For the bulk of human history, white peoples were the most disenfranchised. It wasn't until the Italian Renaissance began that they really began to catch up to the mid-east, which continued to have the strongest, richest empire in the world for a few hundred more years.

Even through the French Revolution, many of the texts from the Ottoman Empire were considered mandatory reading for doctors and chemists.

Oh, and that empire stretched into Africa and included black peoples. Know why modern blacks are so disenfranchised? Because those black people who were a part of that empire, along with the blacks who weren't but had regional power, sold the socially weak peoples to slavers. These slaves helped cause an explosion in European progress.

And it doesn't help that the Bubonic Plague struck the non-white empires far harder than it struck northern europe. Why? Because they were the ones who had major trade routes going all over the world. Europeans were pretty much just picking from the scraps.

Now add in the fact that the environment that black peoples lived in was seriously lacking in the kinds of resources they'd need to really begin to urbanize (mainly widespread farmland and copious access to water). The area that did have this has been a world power since the ancient period (Egypt).

You heard it here folks. Because non-blacks are part-Neanderthal, we're superior.

That's quite a leap.

How do you define inferior in human's?

Everyone in Africa is black, right? Most of those black people were slaves or lower class. The fact that there were black subjects of an empire doesn't mean a @#%^ing thing that you're implying.


What's funny is that there is absolutely no evidence to support this, which suggests that it's highly likely that egypt didn't discriminate with skin color and there were likely various skin colors at all levels of the social hierarchy. There isn't a single shred of evidence to suggest that dark skin was associated with the lower classes.

Most of what people associate with Egypt comes from the Ptolemy dynasty which was a bunch of white dudes from southern Europe pretending to be Egyptian.

Proof is trying way too hard but Alma is sure to fly into a tizzy over it so that's kind of amusing.

They typically perform better in physical activities, but that's increasingly irrelevant in the modern world. I don't see how it's a leap at all.

Yeah, well people see what they want to see eh.

Education /= intelligence. Physicalness has only gone of out favor as a dominant human trait in the last century...actually the last few decades - a very small percentage of the human time scale.

Color me dubious that claiming blacks are inferior is not a strong case of black inferiority, and that drawing said conclusion from an article on genetic divergence (with no mention of intelligence) from 400-800k years ago isn't a biased methodology.

Here's a thought experiment for you.

Take two children with a large intelligence discrepency. Let the less intelligent one go through a good school system for 12 years. Let the other one go through an inter-city school system.

Now give them IQ tests. How was it?

Guess what, IQ tests aren't good indicators of intelligence. For one thing, they have all the bias of tests--people who don't perform under pressure aren't necessarily less intelligent than those that do. Furthermore, skills you acquire in schools help boost your score. You don't grow more intelligent, you grow more educated. And that bumps up your IQ score.

No one with half a brain considers IQs a good indicator of intelligence. Most of the world's geniuses hate them, because they know "intelligence" is an extremely dynamic concept and can't be boiled down to things like spacial reasoning.

Black peoples suffer in this world because of their current, and history of, oppression, not because they are fundamentally less able.

Funny thing. Neanderthals had larger brains and were quite possibly both smarter and were certainly far stronger than Sapiens Sapiens. The reason our species overtook them probably has more to with diet, seeing as neanderthals required 5000 or more calories a day and would starve more easily than Sapiens. But yeah, probably smarter than we were.
#25REDACTED, Posted: Jul 20 2011 at 8:01 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Fair enough. However, look at the state of blacks in the world, as I said before. That's a pretty good measure.

And what benefit is it that you suppose I reap from this viewpoint? Why would I have an irrational bias? It's simply how the facts add up as I see it, and I've not seen anyone here make a decent case elsewise.
You're of a race. You have a bias.

Quote:
I didn't equate education to intelligence.
So superiority in race is strictly defined as a measurement from the western world's IQ test? Does it take into account population growth, monetary wealth, life expectancy, health, happiness, the magnitude of change of any of these values over time?

Looking at the big ecological picture, stable population growth would dictate success or superiority of one organism over another. Blacks while further slipping to Asians are not losing that race.

People are, for all practical purposes, one species. Discussing race as trait is bogus. We're all mudbloods and mutts.
