True. I think Africans are bigger though? I know Africans are better runners. They have longer thigh bones?
I don't know enough. They've got a Northern strain who are bigger (and bigger brained) than Europeans. Guys in the centre who are 1/2
2/2 taller and thinner. I think, apart from Africans being leaner, we're roughly the same on average.

The kid in the middle of the top row went to my high school. He made everyone in my class look like neanderthals in comparison.

I know how he feels.

Is that an insult to neanderthals?
jimmy8worlde
I’m pretty sure this picture is of the Chinese team
Slayer1am
Ook, ugh. Grunt.
ReallyGoodBee
Worst case: The class contained actual literal neanderthals.
badbmc
So, a few months ago I did one of those 23 and me DNA tests. Mine came back with 300 of a possible 1400 Neanderthal matches. 1)
The most anyone's ever gotten was 380 matches. That puts me in the top 85% for Neanderthal matches. 2)
I'm also an electrical engineer. Pretty good in math. STOP STEREOTYPING MY PEOPLE!
AlrightKeepYourSecrets
As a band kid my buddy Chang could play literally every instrument in the band (usually the best), kid was wild.
psychologisttheologist
In my sleepiness I read that as "look at Neanderthals" and was very confused about the how and why of it all
cobaltplasma
A friend of mine was brilliant in math like that, but he was also so damn humble and would always help you out with anything and everything.
someguy7734206
Interesting how little overlap there is between those who think they are better than everyone and those who really are better than everyone.
He was, still is in fact. He went on to do many crazy things, retired a while ago while super young, still helps a ton of folks out.
pangyre
Just to keep the record straight. Neanderthals had bigger brains than we do and were probably the first artists.
sicca3
It's not about how big the brain is, but the structure. And even thought there is some indication to neanderthals having art of some sort 1
It is still hard to prove. I'm still on the high cognitivity side of the debate, but it is still good to have a healthy dose of scepticism.
Mavericklgx
Was gonna mention that..good thing i read your reply first

Speak for yourself cro magnon man!

Which ostensibly was part of their downfall — too great of energy consumption.
Europeans have some Neanderthal genes, Asians even more.
Interesting that East Asians have higher IQs on average then.
There's a large genetic contribution to IQ.
Worldstarhiphopprofessor
Do you have any good sources for that? My googling says The average is pretty much equal between europeans and asians.
1st result on Google: Hong Kong 109, Singapore 109, South Korea 106, Japan 106, China 106, Taiwan 106, US/EU hovers around 100.

Elephants have bigger brains. I think Einstein had a slightly smaller one but the sulci and gyri were more exaggerated, so more surface area

Einsteins brain was unusual. Among other things he had more galil cells. We know this because some dude stole his brain and kept for years

In the end of the day, most accomplishments are individual and countries have no right to claim them.
Noughmad
These aren't completely individual, countries coach their students. That's why it's almost the same countries at or near the top.
Statistically, it's rather the population number, culture, and genetic make-up.
No. See Romania, they have similar population, culture, and genes as their neighbors. But they focus on IMO a lot so they get results.
What results?

MaurogDark
That never stops them from doing it anyway :D
tzap
Most accomplishments have been enabled by your environment. Individual potential isn't the reason you're not seeing North Korea do 1/2
.. as well in sciences as you see South Korea. Like it or not, majority of your thinking and ability comes from the society around you. 2/2
North Korea is an extreme case,. The environment can prevent one from reaching full potential, but it can never create talent from nothing.
The proper environment can push a lot of people to success who would have failed in most environments.
But it cannot help mediocre individuals reach extreme accomplishments. I assume the environment is a given in all developed countries.
Hard to quantify. Generally speaking tho, educational availability and social programs seem to help: http://chartsbin.com/view/1124

We’re certainly diverse but I wouldn’t say we’re a melting pot. That would suggest you’re not able to tell the culture that individuals 1/2

Well, I'm sorry we can't be Paraguay.
So without googling, can you tell where Obama was "originally" from? How about Jimi Hendrix? Kamala Harris? Tulsi Gabbard? Derek Jeter?
I don’t think many people could, but what I mean is there are still distinctly white, black, Latino, and Asian people in the population.
Yeah, but point was people's appearance doesn't necessarily tell much. Plus if someone's e.g. from Asia, that doesn't tell much about 1/2

The kid in the middle of the top row went to my high school. He made everyone in my class look like neanderthals in comparison.
nihilistdad
I know how he feels.
Jhi85
Is that an insult to neanderthals?
jimmy8worlde
I’m pretty sure this picture is of the Chinese team
Slayer1am
Ook, ugh. Grunt.
ReallyGoodBee
Worst case: The class contained actual literal neanderthals.
badbmc
So, a few months ago I did one of those 23 and me DNA tests. Mine came back with 300 of a possible 1400 Neanderthal matches. 1)
badbmc
The most anyone's ever gotten was 380 matches. That puts me in the top 85% for Neanderthal matches. 2)

I'm also an electrical engineer. Pretty good in math. STOP STEREOTYPING MY PEOPLE!

As a band kid my buddy Chang could play literally every instrument in the band (usually the best), kid was wild.
psychologisttheologist
In my sleepiness I read that as "look at Neanderthals" and was very confused about the how and why of it all
cobaltplasma
A friend of mine was brilliant in math like that, but he was also so damn humble and would always help you out with anything and everything.
someguy7734206
Interesting how little overlap there is between those who think they are better than everyone and those who really are better than everyone.
cobaltplasma
He was, still is in fact. He went on to do many crazy things, retired a while ago while super young, still helps a ton of folks out.
pangyre
Just to keep the record straight. Neanderthals had bigger brains than we do and were probably the first artists.
sicca3
It's not about how big the brain is, but the structure. And even thought there is some indication to neanderthals having art of some sort 1
sicca3
It is still hard to prove. I'm still on the high cognitivity side of the debate, but it is still good to have a healthy dose of scepticism.

Europeans have some Neanderthal genes, Asians even more.
pangyre
Interesting that East Asians have higher IQs on average then.
nihilistdad
There's a large genetic contribution to IQ.
Worldstarhiphopprofessor
Do you have any good sources for that? My googling says The average is pretty much equal between europeans and asians.
pangyre
1st result on Google: Hong Kong 109, Singapore 109, South Korea 106, Japan 106, China 106, Taiwan 106, US/EU hovers around 100.

Bigger brain doesn't mean they're more intelligent. If that were the case Blue Whales would be our overlords.
decadentheart
Does brain to body ratio count for anything?
danielfrost114
Duhhhhhh
notashill
Elephants have bigger brains. I think Einstein had a slightly smaller one but the sulci and gyri were more exaggerated, so more surface area
DeltaLaw
Einsteins brain was unusual. Among other things he had more galil cells. We know this because some dude stole his brain and kept for years
bubblesthewhale
And that man, was Albert Einstein
notashill
I wonder if it's the same guy that has Rasputin's dong. A few more parts and we got ourselves a Frankenstein's monster

I remember an Asian kid in out class had a perfect score on both the ACT AND SATs. They even announced it over the intercom.

"Attention students! This is your principal speaking! Some Asian kid got a perfect score on the ACT and SAT! Good job some Asian kid."

Sam ashan kit* was his actual name but with the accent and all we misheard him.

No he didn’t, because that’s not the photo of the US Math Olympiad team. Stop lying.

Just a question, I don't really care, but can you provide the correct photo of the team being referenced above?
LewdPineapple
Are you not believing everything you read on the internet? How disgusting.

lol because there's still a crap load of asians on that team.

I thought the white dude in the middle was Zuckerberg for a second

I like it, much more accurate. STILL 80% asian, but some others in there too :D

That doesn't mean the kid didn't go to his high school.

nihilistdad
In the end of the day, most accomplishments are individual and countries have no right to claim them.
Noughmad
These aren't completely individual, countries coach their students. That's why it's almost the same countries at or near the top.
nihilistdad
Statistically, it's rather the population number, culture, and genetic make-up.
Noughmad
No. See Romania, they have similar population, culture, and genes as their neighbors. But they focus on IMO a lot so they get results.
nihilistdad
What results?
Noughmad

MaurogDark
That never stops them from doing it anyway :D
tzap
Most accomplishments have been enabled by your environment. Individual potential isn't the reason you're not seeing North Korea do 1/2
tzap
.. as well in sciences as you see South Korea. Like it or not, majority of your thinking and ability comes from the society around you. 2/2
nihilistdad
North Korea is an extreme case,. The environment can prevent one from reaching full potential, but it can never create talent from nothing.
tzap
The proper environment can push a lot of people to success who would have failed in most environments.
nihilistdad
But it cannot help mediocre individuals reach extreme accomplishments. I assume the environment is a given in all developed countries.
tzap
Hard to quantify. Generally speaking tho, educational availability and social programs seem to help: http://chartsbin.com/view/1124

spood90
We’re certainly diverse but I wouldn’t say we’re a melting pot. That would suggest you’re not able to tell the culture that individuals 1/2
spood90
are originally from due to generations and generations of sex 2/2
S1enderDan
Well, I'm sorry we can't be Paraguay.
tzap
So without googling, can you tell where Obama was "originally" from? How about Jimi Hendrix? Kamala Harris? Tulsi Gabbard? Derek Jeter?
spood90
I don’t think many people could, but what I mean is there are still distinctly white, black, Latino, and Asian people in the population.
tzap
Yeah, but point was people's appearance doesn't necessarily tell much. Plus if someone's e.g. from Asia, that doesn't tell much about 1/2

It always sounds so out of place to see the word "race" used in statements like this, since the word has a pretty loaded insinuation in 1/2

.. Europe. Plus, human race is such a very arbitrary thing. 2/2

All races, not all cultures. Some cultures are terrible and shouldn't be encouraged. Cannibal cultures for example.

We are all equal. You just need to treat everyone that way. People are bad, not the country.
