>>I do not believe that environment will create all IQs equal regardless of the race nor do I think social circumstance is the premier cause of poor behavior.<<
I never said that the same environment will create equal IQs. What recent research apparently shows is that environment is quite capable of changing IQs (in either direction), i.e., that IQ is not fixed, as earlier researchers thought.
I’m well aware that researchers come up with a lot of erroneous conclusions. I just happen to think that they’re onto something this time around. You can disagree all you want. I just want you to know that you are also disagreeing with the current research, in case that was news to you.
And if social circumstance is not the premier cause of poor behavior, what is? Skin color, perhaps? Or maybe you don’t consider being born to bad parents a “social circumstance” from the point of view of the child?
What makes the parents bad? Part of it is the welfare state, where mothers are paid for having children, but have no financial incentive to raise them to be productive and law-abiding?
Behavior can also be influenced by genetics. For example, blacks have a 15% higher testosterone level than whites, which will influence aggressive behavior.
