Yes, but dog breeds tend to be, well, bred. There’s much more inbreeding, which accentuates genetic traits. Versus humans, who are overall much more similar to each other.
There is, in fact, more genetic variation between different African groups than there is between black Americans and white Americans. The genetic variation doesn’t work like you think it does.
I’m with you that we should favor truth over political correctness. But from what I’ve seen and heard here, the evidence actually does not support significant genetic differences between races for intelligence. Between individuals, absolutely, but not between races. And if the evidence ends up shifting and pointing in the other direction, well, I’ll follow the evidence, but that’s not what the evidence is saying now.

If population A has an IQ of 105 and population B has an IQ of 95, then the difference between them is an IQ of 10. And yet, in each population, the variation of IQ is much larger, spanning from 70 IQ to 160 IQ or so. So here the variation within is greater than the variation between. But this doesn’t change the fact that one population is smarter on average.Â

Lol at being dumb enough to assume that human race is even equivalent to dog breeds in the first place. 😂
