>So the real question is: are you saying it's not probable, or it's >impossible?
What I am saying is that the data does not support the hypothesis that there is a racial basic for intellectual differences. Personally I think that what differences that are attributable to so called racial differences are more likely due to sampling characteristics. In other words you're going to have to have quite a few extremely carefully controlled studies that consistently show a difference between so called races. And the definitions of races will have to be very carefully made too. The participants in one racial grouping cannot have any background with any other racial groups. A controlled triplet study would be best, with the triplets separated by birth and raised in very different conditions. Then you make sure that you have equal number of triplets from black, mongolian, caucasian (including indian from the Indian subcontinent), amerind, and australian aboriginal racial groupings. After setting up and running such a set of studies, you would also need a lot of money to ensure you can adequately defend yourself against ethics and crimes against humanity charges. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:245434 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
