Highly Heritable and Functionally Relevant Breed Differences in Dog Behavior

"We integrated behavioral data from more than 17,000 dogs from 101 breeds with breed-averaged genotypic data (N = 5,697 dogs) from over 100,000 loci in the dog genome. Across 14 traits, we found that breed differences in behavior are highly heritable."

So, Kevin Bird is so committed to the idea that there cannot be genetic race differences in intelligence that he will get someone fired for arguing that there are— for disagreeing with the views in his paper.

People like Bird are leading us to a new academic Dark Age in which an ersatz religion has invaded even the hard sciences. It’s hard to say what will ultimately happen. But, as I have noted, the last time universities—specifically English universities—got taken over by religious fanatics (as they always do because anything prestigious attracts the power-hungry who prize status over truth), the result was that universities went into decline. They became nothing more than finishing schools for the upper class; with “academia” moving elsewhere, either to gentleman scholars or foreign universities. Oxford and Cambridge only regained their academic prestige in the nineteenth century, when they reformed to be more like their scientific competitors.

Kirkegaard is an example of the migration of genuine truth-seeking out of Western universities (he’s an independent scholar). Bird epitomizes why that movement has had to take place.

So whose math and technical choices would you trust? It’s no-brainer…a no-Bird Brainer.

In Marx and Engels’s understanding, racial disparities emerged under the influence of shared natural and social conditions hardening into heredity and of the mixing of blood. They racialized skin-colour groups, ethnicities, nations and social classes, while endowing them with innate superior and inferior character traits. They regarded race as part of humanity’s natural conditions, upon which the production system rested.

Hello guys! I am a new admin for this channel. To start off, here's a cool blog post I think y'all should read! https://dynomight.net/heritability/

Satellite images show bodies lay in Bucha for weeks, despite Russian claims.
https://archive.ph/lnqle

Remember the cyclist killed by the
Russians in the Bucha Massacre?

Turns out a drone filmed the Russians shooting him.

It was captured in the final 10 seconds of this video.

Are the Russian trolls still going to
claim that he was a “crisis actor”?
