"Intelligence" (whatever that is, but I would say capacity and speed of learning) is 100% genetic and MAY correlate or be caused by other genetic traits which could include skin color. So back to Dr. Watson's comment: we have no idea if native *Africans* (white, black, red ...) are, on average, less intelligent than Asians. Wouldn't surprise me a bit. But then it also wouldn't surprise me if Africans were smarter than Europeans. This is mostly because I'm open and accepting to the idea that my particular genetic grouping, whatever you'd like to define it as, is, on average, dumber than most 4th graders. Once you accept that, nothing offends you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Download the latest ColdFusion 8 utilities including Report Builder, plug-ins for Eclipse and Dreamweaver updates. http;//www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5adobecf8%5Fbeta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:245354 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
