I hate to prolong this thread, but Brian, here is what you said:
"Mr.Hammond says that the difference is the GROWTH of the brains.
My stance is that that there IS no difference between brains (adults) when
their size is held equal.
What IS different is what is called EXPERIENCE, and that is store in the
MEMORY.
How FAST a brain will grow is determined by what RACE the person belongs to.
African's develope and mature faster, but their growth is arrested early
compared with Asians and
Europeans.
Thus because they have smaller brains, it will have a significant result -
lower IQ (the g-factor)."
It sounds like something a racist would say to me, too. What do you think?
