My two cents, and I'm out: Someone made a statement about certain races being taller or more clever, and such. As for the physical aspect, I can understand (if you just generalise). Asians are short. Blacks are this. Whites are that. Hispanics are this way. I could argue, but it's kind of pointless.

It's the comment that certain "races are more clever" that concerns me....................

if you agree that races are different in physical aspect, then you agree with my second point automatically too

because the average size of the brian' cranial capacity is related to the IQ, some races' brain are bigger than others


==> it was never shown

At the opposite, I think it was proven that the size doesn't seem to matter and was not related to IQ (what I learnt at school).

AND, even if u show that brain size is related to IQ, do you know WHO has the biggest brain ?

I dont know.


Libellule, you're not the only one that learned brain size does not equal IQ. If that were the case, we'd probably be looking at the candidacy of President Flipper, Dolphin that United the World.
