| That would depend on your personal definition of race then. If you mean the genes that make up the actual physical difference that people point at and say, "There is an Indian", or "There is a Black man", then no those genes have absolutely no effect on much except appearence. But if you speak of the gene-pool that the race is attributed to, yes, there are modifications.
Of course we cannot really say that this race is more intelligent than that one, because intelligence has many components that a race may or may not exibit. Also, sometimes it is difficult to seperate cultural modifications from genetic ones. Is the Asian tendancy toward better mathematical skills cultural or genetic, or both?
But the point I am still trying to make is that none of us is a race, we are all individuals. Standard deviation is a tool to measure tendancies not a physical law. I am well above normal intelligence for my race, so I really do not care if my race is not the most intelligent on the globe, it does not affect what I already have. |
