Nurture has a small effect, nature has a large effect. Look at Ethiopia which was never colonized by nonblacks. It has an average IQ of 69. They don’t have the same brain structure as people of other races. They are less capable of abstract thinking. They are less able to visualize the future, consequences, and other people’s perspectives. They didn’t foresee the value in developing a home life and family life that nurtures intellectual development. There is somewhat of a feedback loop, a little give and take of the causes and effects, but the “nurture” side of the argument has gotten the causes and effects backwards for the most part. Good environments don’t create intelligent people as much as intelligent people create good environments.

There is only ONE race...but otherwise.
Taxonomy semantics? Boring
