Diamond fails to inform his readers that it is different environments that cause, via natural selection, biological differences among populations. All of the Eurasian developments he described created positive feedback loops selecting for increased intelligence and various personality traits (e.g., altruism, rule-following, etc.).

Racial differences in brain size and IQ map very closely to the same cultural histories Diamond explains. Although Diamond dismisses such research as "loathsome", he fails to tell his readers what, if anything, might be scientifically wrong with any of it.

White people are weird. Watching them is truly amazing. They are obsessed with a moral system that disallows scientific inquiry into racial or gender differences because of their religious-like commitment to egalitarianism. White people themselves could use some analysis on their brains. Maybe neuroscience will spot what it is in the white man’s brain that makes him nuts. Non-whites are superior to whites in that way. Blacks and Hispanics may have lower IQ’s but at least they aren’t crazy.

White liberals are supposed to be so secular and so enlightened and they believe in science, etc. Yet they seem to believe in their bogus morality more than science and when their morality conflicts with science they cling to their morality. They don’t believe in science when it may be inconvenient for their precious egalitarian ideology. They are insane wackjobs.

Why do you suspect these things? Why could the study not be valid and true?

I am looking for scientific evidence here, not dogmatic denial.

There's not so much difference between yourself and people who believe in God as you would like to think.

Retarded, illogical, faith-based beliefs are common. Like egalitarianism, for example. It is founded on the religious belief that everyone is "created" equal.

Diamond does not give his readers the whole truth and nothing but the truth. In fact, he gives them much less. Inexcusably for an evolutionary biologist, Diamond fails to inform his readers that it is different environments that cause, via natural selection, biological differences among populations. All of the Eurasian developments he described created positive feedback loops selecting for increased intelligence and various personality traits (e.g., altruism, rule-following, etc.).

Stephen Jay Gould was a pop-science hack who was never taken seriously by the scientific community. The only people ever dumb enough to fall for his garbage were mainstream liberals desperate to find something to cling to that made them feel secure in their faith-based belief system.

And yet he has been so thoroughly debunked that even mainstream retarded liberals do not cite his garbage anymore. They have since moved on, and the new pop-science hero of the left is Jared Diamond. You are like a relic from many decades ago.
