    Post Eugenics: Counter Argument to Inbreeding causing low IQ

    Yes inbreeding can cause a raft of genetic problems, but it does not automatically cause IQ decreases. Environmental pressures cause the selection of traits to occur. Inbreeding just speeds up the visibility of recessive characteristics that wouldn't be triggered as easy if the genes weren't paired recessives.

    There are well studied groups of limited gene pools and they don't automatically have low IQ as some recessive traits can be positive. The main group to consider in this possibly have the highest IQ of any ethnic group the Ashkenazi who dominate a lot of highly intellectual areas whilst showing a very high rate of genetic disorders.

    As a side note EQ =/= IQ

    Some of the loveliest people have extra chromosomes causing them to have limited intellectual capacity. On the other hand science types can be very socially inept. Autism is higher in children whose parents are both mathmaticians. Autistic kids can be described as geniuses who have very low social skills.

    =][=

    So inbreeding does not automatically equal low IQ does not automatically equal low EQ.

    A much closer line of regression to having a violent future is having a violent past.

    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
