>this prediction is based on the genetic architecture and environmental context OF THE SPECIFIC POPULATION IT WAS BUILT ON
No argument here. My point is simply that different ‘populations’ have different genetic architectures. So I agree with you. You have, in your own words, just lost your own argument . There are massive genetic differences (‘architectures’ to use your words) between the races. Now layer on Genetics Professors agreeing with me, all the twin studies, the emergence of complex genetic traits, the wealth of trait phenotype that have factored out socioeconomic factors, the absolute stunning lack of achievement in some races and it is obvious there are significant differences in complex traits in humans.
And in reply to your horseshit that everyone is equal and differences are only environmental you have what for a supporting argument ?
>The average height of populations has changed dramatically over very short periods(South Koreans gaining 6 inches in 50 years),these changes are 100% attributable to environmental factors: improved nutrition,
You are proving me correct again. Genetics determines your ultimate potential. Your environment determines how close you get to that potential. Of course environment plays a role. Here is the thing though, Tall people select tall people for sex. Particularly women. Tall is now in vogue in Asia. How can you be so disingenuous to claim its all environmental?
You still get short Koreans. No amount of feeding is going to make them exceed their genetically predetermined height. Sexual selection + better nutrition and of course your average height is going to increase. And no, it doesn’t need to take long at all.
Genetic changes can be due to environmental pressure though. Its called evolution. And its what makes the races different physiologically, mentally and therefore cognitively.
And then we can progress to epigenetics.
