Variation in allele frequency is a basic fact of population genetics and does not imply functional differences or support the concept of "race-specific" genes for complex traits like intelligence, the genes implicated in neurobiology, brain development, and cognitive function are universal human genes; see >>16767338
>Another very commonly referenced complex trait is the variation in height between “races”.Guess what? The correlation that was derived for the genes that affect Europeans height only works for Europeans.
We know why height differences exist: The dramatic increase in average height in certain populations; the Dutch becoming the tallest people on Earth over the last 50 years is overwhelmingly attributed to environmental factors: better childhood nutrition, reduced disease load, and improved healthcare.
Does this mean asians “me” have less "allelic potential" for height? Absolutely not. We have clear, undeniable historical evidence that environment is the primary driver of population-level height differences.
