>>212116934Yes I have considered that and that excuse is not plausible because it is refuted by the evidence.
1. if black low IQ was was caused entirely by epigenetics, then we'd expect their polygenic scores for IQ to equal whites, but instead what is actually observed is that the polygenic scores of blacks are much lower than whites, and furthermore these polygenic IQ scores correctly predict the low average IQ of black ethnicities and these polygenic scores correlate 0.9 with national IQ samples https://www.mdpi.com/2624-8611/1/1/5 pic related
which shows the same result being measured in two different ways.
2. epigenetics very unlikely as cause of low black IQ because A) populations suffering more recent and severe environments than American blacks like holocaust survivors had no drop in IQ

3. In mammals, epigenetic changes due to exposure to environmental stress can at most be passed on via a pregnant mother to her grandchildren. no evidence of truly transgenerational epigenetic effects from many generations ago back when blacks were slaves

evidence for epigenetic slavery syndrome weak
