Don't you think that low cranial index = low IQ?

Neanderthals were brachycranial (when measured from the middle of the forehead instead of the brow ridges) and their mitochondrial eve (mtdna haplogroup UK and maybe haplogroup D) was smarter than cro-magnon mitochondrial eve. I'm still trying to figure out which Y-DNA group(s) is (are) neanderthal, but the father doesn't really pass on his traits as much as the mother does (as a general rule).

I believe that cranial index is very highly correlated with fluid reasoning because neanderthals are a very small minority in a world where the average IQ is said to be 79.

I also doubt that there was a common mitochondrial ancestor to all neanderthals and all cromagnons... that is, I don't think that neanderthals are related to chimpanzees at all because they look a lot less like them than cro-magnons do.

Intriguingly, most Europeans today share a matriline with most Palestinian Arabs. That is, the mtdna of those two groups are closer to each other than either is to Ashkenazi Jews so I guess if Hagar had had a daughter, most Europeans alive now would be descended from her. Or I guess that most europeans alive today are descended from the same matriline as Hagar was. The aforementioned indicates that most europeans alive today were meant by the Bible to be slaves to private owners because the former are stronger in will and of inferior intelligence.

I'm pretty sure my matrilineage was not neanderthal and I hate myself for it.

How could anyone think that cranial index isn't correlated >=.7 with IQ?

That's what boggles my mind.

If you take a plane and clip six inches off one wing would it's path inscribe the globe like a giant spirograph?

Smithers: Uh, sir, phrenology was dismissed as quackery 160 years ago.
Burns: Of course you'd say that: you have the brainpan of a stagecoach tilter.

.......

Are you sure you didn't just think about intelligence and neanderthal skulls out of the blueand are just regurgitating right wing research from people like Rushton about brain volume and iq?

I'm not. I've actually read a lot of Rushton's works and I don't remember him mentioning a correlation between cranial index and IQ... that doesn't mean that he didn't, though I just haven't seen him talk much about cranial index relating to IQ.

No one has ever specified which R mitochondrial DNA subclades UK or D comes from so that means it must be neanderthal which makes them smarter than the humanzees.

Like I said, I'm a humanzee and I hate myself for it.

Also "average IQ 79" wat.
Well, considering that the modern European average is only 100 (higher than me though) and that they make up only about 1/6 of the world population;

and that Northeast Asians are a rather a small minority;
and that Africans, Indians, and Southeast Asians are the majority I'd say that the world average probably comes to about 79-81.

Ahhh Rushton... Still an embarrassment to this city to this day, even after his death.
