The Big Lie Of Limited Genetic Differences
Also: claiming that statistical differences in genetic composition imply the equality of those differences is not only pseudoscientific but false and deceptive – because not all mutations, variations, and expressions produce equally selective effects.
We know the direction of evolution favors neotenic selection (domestication syndrome) because of the extraordinary advantage of increases in cooperation by increases in agency (self regulation).
The rest of the variations that persist are minor in comparison – usually local adaptation to food and disease sources.
Neotenic evolution prolongs gestation, childhood (sexual maturity), and lifespan, producing increases in neural development (agency, self regulation) and adaptation (intelligence), as well cooperation by the suppression of impulsivity and aggression. The phenotypic expression that’s rather obvious is reduction of migration of stem cells from the neural tube retaining childhood features into adulthood.
We don’t know how many changes have been necessary to produce domestication syndrome, but as we can can see from our domestication of animals, the behavioral and physical expressions are the same.
It should not be terribly challenging to survey the most neotenous populations of the four major races (african, south eurasian, european, and east eurasian) and discover how many of those variations are encoded in the genome and how many are simply regulations of expression.
The four races are separated by african -> south eurasian (1SD), south eurasian to european (1SD) -> European to east asian(½SD) with all other groups consisting of hybrids with almost perfect demonstration of equilibration between the gene pools.
The four races, for this reason, differ in class sizes because class size roughly consists variation in intelligence and self regulation, and those variations expressed in capacity for scale of responsibility.
The resulting differences in class sizes result in the visible differences in intelligence.
And this is why group intelligence (measured by country, measured by ethnicity) is the single most important property of a population with the greatest determination of outcome of all properties of man whether genetic, developmental, cultural, institutional, or geographic.

No more lies.
Lies prevent us from the optimum polities with the optimum governments and the optimum policies: homogeneity produces a reduction of conflict.
