Discussion Physical and Mental Differences Between Races

[Tomoko4r3al]

Do you think there is a quantifiable and general difference between the races in physical characteristics? What about eventual characteristics, such as emotional or intellectual? If so, how far does it extend? Why or how could such distinctions develop? Personally, I think there are some differences, but small ones. I would say Africans are going to be, on average, stronger with better twitch muscle fibers than other groups. I would say Asians are going to be smarter on average. I would say the physical differences between the races are much bigger than the mental differences. I say the distinctions that we notice (Asians being better at math, Europeans being conquerors, inventors, and overall more likely to participate in risky endeavors, Africans being stronger and athletic, etc.) can be more attributed to the cultures than something genetic. What do you think? Discuss!

Yes, I think it's all based on genetics at the core of it. Different cultures just express/develop certain underlying traits that were already there in the first place.

Race is not scientific.

All inherited

All I know is that Epstein (peace be upon him) tried to make his own race.

Great topic you've brought up.

Honestly though, the fact that people think evolution has caused all humans to be the same despite 60000 years of seperation before civilization is insane.

Evolution didn't stop and we are still evolving into different taxonomical groups which we call "races".

So yes, different races are different in the physical and mental prowess they hold.

But this acknowlegement of the influence of genes by no means should be used as an excuse for racism.

Blud, I have no idea why you happen to have the most L takes compared to everyone on this forum.

It WAS considered a scientific fact at one point, only if it was not used for some awful political motives it would still be considered a scientific fact.

Science doesn't have any authority, and yet personal studies on this matter are considered illegal. This fact should tell you a lot about the motives political establishments hold.
