No, we have to acknowledge the innate superiority of the human male because they’re autistic and colorblind at higher rates than women, so that proves that they’re superior to females!

err no. Who said men were superior. Not me. I was merely providing a genetic reason for the greater VARIANCE in men.
And the colour blind genes may have been advantageous at some point in time. Hence allowing it to survive. This in no way means superiority as the environmental factors influencing human evolution have changed.

Since you’re fond of the dictionary, you may want to look up the definitions of “compose” and “comprise.”

Did I use them incorrectly?

I want to add that many psychologists think evolutionary psychology is a lot of crap.

Yes. I dare say. For a start there’s many problems with it. Afterall how much is inherent and how much is learned. Plus anything that is inherent is essentially dangerous to admit – especially politically. But many scientists disagree on Darwinism, many still think Faraday was a crackpot and this electricity stuff is nonsense, as for Einstein – all his ideas were nonsense. And anyway Gravity was proven incorrect decades ago, so Newton was clearly an ejjit.

BTW, the link doesn’t work as is but if you copy the link and remove the period (.) at the end, it will work.

I know this may muddle the conversation a bit but I wanted to throw some links on race, gender, IQ and the Flynn effect because I think it has some relevancy to the topic.

Hopefully people won’t set aside gender/race differences as ‘just so’ just yet. Perhaps Allen’s insistence on head size-intelligence correlation with go the way of Phrenology.

Thirty years ago, my phys anth prof noted that the color-blind gene is virtually non-existant in modern H/G populations. Dunno if his assertion still stands, but I’m betting on it.

Seems pyschology and behaviour are the same. But that’s a dictionary. Maybe you have your own language?

You certainly seem to, if you think that if you ask to talk to a behaviorist and to a psychologist that you’ll get the same person. Since you’re fond of the dictionary, you may want to look up the definitions of “compose” and “comprise.”

It’s pretty fun to watch you flail about, though. It’s not enough for you that we say that men and women are equal. No, we have to acknowledge the innate superiority of the human male because they’re autistic and colorblind at higher rates than women, so that proves that they’re superior to females!
