@SusanneAydinlik @riversorare @ProfHall1955 2018 & was criticised for repurposing "Race" to mean human ancestry & genetic structure in general as misleading & disingenuous also no credible genetic mechanism for pop iq diffs Research since hasn't found any diff in the genetic variants associated with IQ between populations

[Peter Bridge @Bridge99Peter]

@ProfHall1955 @AlessandraAster Both of these are mutations of a specific genome location and affect multiple "races"

[Peter Bridge @Bridge99Peter]

@ProfHall1955 @AlessandraAster The diff between race and populations cf "Blacks suffer from sickle cell anemia and lactose intolerance" with "Pops from malaria belt have higher levels of s.c.a . (Can protect against malaria) Pops descended from dairy farmers have developed lactose persistence in adulthood"

@banergzy @armsq17 he's certainly a proper geneticist (I wouldn't say he was the worlds foremost authority ! ) That was written in 2018 but research since then hasn't found any difference in the genetic variants associated with IQ between populations

@JacobAShell There are plenty of proper geneticists working on human population genetic differences https://t.co/5hAKBv8cCH

@DoctorMinted There are genetic population (not race !) diffs in traits that are defined by a specific genome location, which requiring a relatively simple (& quick) adaptation, eg adult lactose tolerance - dairy farming pops, sickle cell anaemia - malaria these traits are in a minority

[Peter Bridge @Bridge99Peter]

@cremieuxrecueil How common is that mutation and how population specific ?

@colwight Do you understand what those tests do and don't do ?

[Peter Bridge @Bridge99Peter]

@gen0m1cs It has been discussed for ages (eg this explainer from 2019) https://t.co/CEbpgCR2nN
