Thread: Rapid evolution proves that evolutionary psychology is racist.

Domestication research is full of evidence for rapid evolution. There is also evidence for rapid evolution in humans (Western lactose tolerance, lung and blood vessels of Sherpas and Tibetans, and so on). This means that the "evolutionary speed limits" that evolutionary psychologists invoke to declare humanity homogenous do not exist. There are, and have historically been even bigger, differences in living conditions across the world. This means that all evolutionary psychology predicts that racial differences in intelligence and behavior should exist. And yet there is empirical evidence that, taking enough sociological factors into account, such supposedly racial differences can be ruled out. Evolutionary psychology cannot explain this non-raciality.

This means that the supposed "evidence" from individual psychiatry must be methodologically ignoring some factor or factors that research about ethnicity takes into account and rules out. Any ideas?

How so? Demonstrate that lactose intolerance is some New-Fangled thing and not something that has been around for as long as we, as a species, have been around.

Yes, racial differences do exist. But they are minor and culturally based. You claim above something about rapid evolution. The problem here is that the Human Species is quite young, yet. So if your rapid evolution is true, why hasn't it kicked in here?

Exactly what you say about racial differences, "and culturally based", shows that the racist predictions of evolutionary psychology fails to pan out. The exact age of lactose tolerance/intolerance is not really relevant to the point. The point is that evolution is rapid enough to have produced differences. And your question "why rapid evolution have not kicked in here" is completely misframed. I shown that rapid evolution exists, which means that all evolutionary psychology (i.e. theories about genes imposing any kind of fixed limits to behavioral plasticity) makes racist predictions. So the faliure of the racist predictions to pan out is evidence against evolutionary psychology, just like the faliure to observe annual changes in light speed in different directions is evidence against a lumniferous aether.

speaking of

even bigger, differences

This is the 2nd thread you made such an obscure statement, but provided no references to back it up.

The is the hard science part of the forum (the softer are general, philosophy, new and trash) and so far this thread falls far short. This is an official warning to support your argument or don't start threads in the hard science parts of the forum.
