I'm not a troll, I believe this. I'm actually baffled that people can't see how obvious it is. I'm highly credentialed/successful in the tech industry. In the case that I have no intelligence what so ever, explain this comment you have linked. To me, he's pointing out some obscure fact, that not all Africans look the same. Fine, but 95%+ do, can we argue about the general concept? Or do I have to be confined to spelling and grammar mistake arguments? Along with nitpicking? Personal insults?

Fair enough, but do you have an argument against what I am saying?

It's actually a little embarrassing how much I know about the topic. I find evolution interesting. The more I study and understand, the more I am astounded by people's chosen ignorance on this topic. It's a harsh reality with far reaching consequences. But living as if it isnt true is just as harmful to our society. As things progress it will be increasingly hard to cover up and ignore. I am very curious what will happen at that point.

"Whatever role genetics play in IQ are most certainly not manifested in the concentration of melanin in one's skin or the coarseness of one's hair or the color of one's eyes or the size of one's nose or any of the other crude heuristics we use to group people up as "races"."

You are making the case that intraracial facial structures all resemble each other, but internally how people are connected (brain structure) does not follow the same pattern. Some how over thousands of years of almost complete seperation, people managed to genetically grow different facial strucutres but stayed completely the same on the inside? The whole tenant of evolution is that great effective genes are passed on and reflected in offspring. By arguing that there is no genetic difference you are arguing that IQ cannot be passed on and that different environments did not select for and need different levels of IQ. If you are arguing that, then you are denying evolution as a theory.

Really? Scientifically it has been proven over and over. It just isn't mainstream.

Since when is it cool to brag about what drugs you have done? You must still be in college/high school.

I don't, I'm just saying a huge majority of elite high paying jobs are filled by top ten degrees.
