That being said, until someone does some conclusive studies on the subject of genetic behavioral predispositions in humans, and until those studies' results show a definite link between specific genes or sets of genes and specific behaviors, any assertion about the genetic basis of violence or crime is pure conjecture. (or maybe wishful thinking, depending on who you are)
Yet, you acknowledge there's a genetic basis for violence when it comes to sex?
And a biological basis when it comes to age?
And you also acknowledge genetic and biological differences between human races?
Show me the data, or explain the reasoning to me, and i very well may.
as for genetic differences between human populations; of course there are differences. "Race" as we think of it may not even be a great method for grouping these differences though, because there are as many differences within "races" as between.
So, I'll assume you answered "yes" to my questions.
"Race" as we think of it may not even be a great method for groups these differences"
Yeah, because we can't see any differences in professional athletics, but that's OK as long as it shows blacks outperforming whites.
Can you show me any evidence that blacks are better athletes? Because I can't accept the real world reality of the situation.
1) "Race" isn't a good method, because it deals primarily with overt visual differences which correlate to a relatively tiny number of genes.
2) better athletes? As in better in every way? No, i can't show evidence for that. Can you?
