What other conclusion can you reasonably come to based on the available data?

- JKCalhoun 1y agoA biologist can correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand "race" in humans to be little different than, say, hair-color. Perhaps there's data showing that brunettes are smarter than blondes? EDIT: Never mind, user krapp's comment is what I was reaching for, "Race isn't biological, it's a social and political construct."
- dekhn 1y agoIt's not completely correct, though- "race" as we currently classify it has a strong correlate to genetic background and self-identified race is often used as a proxy for genetic background.

- JKCalhoun 1y agoNo one said it wasn't biological. Hair color is also biological.
