Hmm, which geneticist coined the term? Oh, it was VDARE contributor Steve Sailer? The one who writes about black genetic inferiority and Jewish control of the media?
- jojobas 6y agoWell, Jews are 3x over-represented in US Congress and to a variable degree in other high-effort, high-reward areas such as law and yes, media management. Unless you'd suspect a conspiracy, there has to be a genetic or a cultural reason for that and the problem with that is that any such reason could plausibly apply to Black Americans.
- pseudalopex 6y agoBiodiversity implies it isn't cultural.
- jojobas 6y agoAdoption studies also don't suggest that. Ashkenazi Jews seem to actually have a different brain model.
- pseudalopex 6y agoDifferent brain model? Just say genetic if you mean genetic.
- jojobas 6y agoYes, a genetically different brain model. https://web.mit.edu/fustflum/documents/papers/AshkenaziIQ.jbiosocsci.pdf https://web.mit.edu/fustflum/documents/papers/AshkenaziIQ.jb...
- pseudalopex 6y agoBrain model doesn't seem to be a common term. The linked paper uses the word model several times but not in a way that matches how used it. I'm not going to debate the paper. For the benefit of anyone else reading here's a rebuttal.[1] I suggest reading both.

- Veen 6y agoNo, it was probably the anthropologist Jonathan Marks, in his 1995 book entitled, curiously enough, Human Biodiversity.
- jhpriestley 6y agoAh, you're right, Marks clarifies that racists appropriated the term he coined (http://anthropomics2.blogspot.com/2019/12/i-coined-phrase-human-biodiversity.html?m=1 http://anthropomics2.blogspot.com/2019/12/i-coined-phrase-hu...). Siskind obviously was referring to the nazi/alt-right/nrx meaning of the term, associated with Sailer, though.
