All right, if you don’t make a clear statement of the facts every once and a while, people won’t know them. So thus begins a thread where I will once again do just that. #TheFacts
Starting with behavioral genetics: all human behavioral traits are heritable, and parenting/rearing environment has no lasting effect on children’s adult outcomes. https://www.unz.com/jman/the-behavioral-genetics-page/ #TheFacts
Biological sex is a real phenomenon. It is not a spectrum, sexually ambiguous people are rare.
Men and women differ from the neck up as well as from the neck down. Male and female brains can easily be distinguished by observation. #TheFacts

IQ is real and hugely important. Indeed, it is the single most well established construct in social science. It can’t be improved by interventions (far transfer doesn’t exist). IQ is largely heritable. #TheFacts
Biological race is real. Race is obvious in the genetic data (23andMe, Ancestry, and other services exist thanks to this fact) as well as phenotypically. Racial/sub-racial group differences are also largely heritable in nature #TheFacts
About sub-racial group differences: the differences between different European groups follows a division known as the Hajnal line.

Differences between different North American regions, particular among different white Americans/Canadians, are also driven by genetic differences and explain the persist regional differences seen #AmericanNations #TheFacts https://www.unz.com/jman/american-nations-series/
Differences between individuals and groups in health, especially in the developed world, are driven by genetic differences. Hell, even #COVID19 response is heavily genetically mediated. Outside of pathogens, lifestyle contribute little to health #TheFacts https://www.unz.com/jman/obesity-facts/
The likely cause of male homosexuality is a pathogen, one that may temporarily be inhibited from circulating due to the SARS 2 lockdowns. Pathogens are a major force upon us, as should be plainly evident now #TheFacts https://www.unz.com/jman/greg-cochrans-gay-germ-hypothesis-an-exercise-in-the-power-of-germs/
