good visual. smartest kid in the study is like 33% black. Second smartest kid is nearly all black.

that alone should quiet the anecodotal-repliers.

Also the number of whites with say 2-6% African ancestry doesn’t seem representative to me. Most blacks have meaningful euro ancestry but few whites have more than trace African ancestry

The claim is that skin color correlates with IQ across families but not across siblings.

This implies color correlates with IQ because it is a sign of ancestry.

If there were cultural discrimination explaining the findings, it would apply within families, too.

Why wouldn’t divergent IQs among family members cut against the environmental argument, since that would seem to imply that those raised in the same environment nonetheless had variance in their IQs?

I took cowgod to be saying that the result that IQ scores etc. positively correlate with pct African admixture could be explained by cultural bias, viz., racism that varies with skin color and depresses scores.

This argument is refuted by the linked study showing that skin color does not vary with IQ within families, which have common ancestry, but does between families, in which skin color is an index of ancestry.

This point doesn't make sense to me.

I THINK what you're trying to say is that IQ correlates with ancestry, not just skin color, and that this conclusion is supported by the fact that the correlation holds when the sample is an entire family, but does not hold when the sample is among siblings in the same family.

However, that would only support your point if every sibling had the same ancestry. But they don't. That isn't how meiosis works.

Either I've misunderstood your point, or you're mistaken. Wanna clarify?

I'm saying that the correlation between IQ and skin color is mediated by ancestry.

Skin color is controlled by a relatively small number of alleles. Intelligence and ancestry (naturally) a greater number.

Does that help?

the people who reject this stuff always come up with some sort of methodological shortcoming that could possibly explain away the results. i have no doubt it will be the case here. it doesn't matter how unlikely the explanation is.
