Haplogroup N

NRY haplogroup.

Haplogroup N: an interesting origin and an interesting distribution.

Not the sort of thing discussed in detail by those "raciology" Russian "race scientists" praised in "the movement."  Not the sort of thing focused on by all the "titans" "marching" either.

After all, population genetics data must be cherry-picked for an agenda.

Another reason to focus on genetic kinship, since the population genetics field has been completely politicized, particularly by "the movement."

Cognitive Cheaters

Law-abiding high-IQ Chinese...cheating on exams.

More HBD Nonsense: Rushton

Typical superficial HBD nonsense.

See here.

Several points.

First, this idea about a wider range (greater SD) of European vs. East Asian IQ has been around for quite some time.  Evidence for it is lacking, as far as I know.  Granted, Rushton mentioned it as a possibility, not as definitive, but still, if there is no real evidence for it, why not mention that fact, instead of taking the idea seriously?

Second, the 'Black Death" was not a "virus."  Didn't Rushton know elementary facts about the Bubonic Plague.

Third, note how eager he was to speculate that East Asians are about to out-pace Whites, which he considered as the normal outcome, given their "higher-IQ."

And with respect to the point about testosterone (from Duke?), is that a fact or only an assumption?
