How do you refute it? Well, it's MSM coverage so the writer's comprehension of the science involved will be sub-high school and cherry-picked for sensation value.
Maybe with their own coverage:

Higher levels of education =/= Actually being smarter.
Everyone born in a western country today will tend to have a higher level of education than their parents because we're pushing for everyone to complete high school and spend untold shekels on college. When you couple this with lowered standards, no nig-nog left behind, and increased government assistance for those who are nonwhite and you can twist the results to mean whatever you like.

Raising the average IQ and height =/= smarter children than both sides.

What kind of fucking Judaism is this??? The secular trend is that you're getting TALLER AND SMARTER than your ancestors whoever the fuck they might be, it's a long observed secular trend.
If you come from a family which isn't into inbreeding and at the same time doesn't blanda upp (basically most of us), you'll see that you're smarter and taller by average than your ancestors.

it wasn't too long ago posted on pol a danish professor from arhus published an article examing this in detail
i didn't save it but the details given plus google should make you find it
this is ontop of the fact that the premise in OP's article defies genetics 101
there is something called regression to the mean
explained in short exceptional traits only occur if a child inherits both exceptional genes from their parents
as such closed of populations like existed before modern travel could develop exceptional traits like the tallness of the netherlands or the beauty of sweden, however should you racemix the change of getting 2 times the same gene becomes nill, like quite literally nill and your offspring will have outstanding traits of neither subgroup, just a bland mediocre mix
none of this is even pol science, this is or perhaps rather was genetics 101 in most western unies for the past decade, don't know how much it degrade in the mean time

Abstract
Homozygosity has long been associated with rare, often devastating, Mendelian disorders, and Darwin was one of the first to recognize that inbreeding reduces evolutionary fitness. However, the effect of the more distant parental relatedness that is common in modern human populations is less well understood. Genomic data now allow us to investigate the effects of homozygosity on traits of public health importance by observing contiguous homozygous segments (runs of homozygosity), which are inferred to be homozygous along their complete length. Given the low levels of genome-wide homozygosity prevalent in most human populations, information is required on very large numbers of people to provide sufficient power. Here we use runs of homozygosity to study 16 health-related quantitative traits in 354,224 individuals from 102 cohorts, and find statistically significant associations between summed runs of homozygosity and four complex traits: height, forced expiratory lung volume in one second, general cognitive ability and educational attainment (P < 1 × 10(-300), 2.1 × 10(-6), 2.5 × 10(-10) and 1.8 × 10(-10), respectively). In each case, increased homozygosity was associated with decreased trait value, equivalent to the offspring of first cousins being 1.2 cm shorter and having 10 months' less education. Similar effect sizes were found across four continental groups and populations with different degrees of genome-wide homozygosity, providing evidence that homozygosity, rather than confounding, directly contributes to phenotypic variance. Contrary to earlier reports in substantially smaller samples, no evidence was seen of an influence of genome-wide homozygosity on blood pressure and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, or ten other cardio-metabolic traits. Since directional dominance is predicted for traits under directional evolutionary selection, this study provides evidence that increased stature and cognitive function have been positively selected in human evolution, whereas many important risk factors for late-onset complex diseases may not have been.

Jose Wilson
For a mixed breed mutt, certainly not likely enough.
Mason Hall
Inbreeding influences complex traits through increases in homozygosity and corresponding reductions in heterozygosity, most likely resulting from the action of deleterious (partially) recessive mutations8. For polygenic traits, a systematic association with genome-wide homozygosity is not expected when dominant alleles at some loci increase the trait value while others decrease it. Rather, dominance must be biased in one direction on average over all causal loci, for instance to decrease the trait. Such directional dominance is expected to arise in evolutionary fitness-related traits due to directional selection8. Studies of genome-wide homozygosity thus have the potential to reveal the non-additive allelic architecture of a trait and its evolutionary history. Historically inbreeding has been measured using pedigrees9. However, such techniques cannot account for the stochastic nature of inheritance, nor are they practical for the capture of the distant parental relatedness present in most modern day populations. High density genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array data can now be used to assess genome-wide homozygosity directly, using genomic runs of homozygosity (ROH). Such runs are inferred to be homozygous-by-descent and are common in human populations10-11. SROH is the sum of the length of these ROH, in megabases of DNA. FROH is the ratio of SROH to the total length of the genome. Like pedigree-based F (with which it is highly correlated3), FROH estimates the probability of being homozygous at any site in the genome. FROH has been shown to vary widely within and between populations12 and is a powerful method of detecting genome-wide homozygosity effects13.
We found marked differences by geography and demographic history in both the population mean SROH and the relationship between SROH and NROH (the numbers of separate runs of homozygosity). (Fig. 1). As observed previously3,12,14, isolated populations have a higher burden of ROH whereas African heritage populations have the least homozygosity.
Xavier Perez
We studied βFROH, defined as the effect of FROH on 16 complex traits of biomedical importance (Fig. 2). For height, FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in one second, a measure of lung function), educational attainment (EA) and g (a measure of general cognitive ability derived from scores on several diverse cognitive tests), we found the effect sizes were greater than two intra-sex standard deviations (SD), with p-values all less than 10−5. Thus the associations could not plausibly be explained by chance alone (Table 1; see Extended data Figs. 1--44 for Forest plots of individual traits; Supplementary Table 1 for SD). To ensure that the results were not driven by a few outliers, we repeated the analysis excluding extreme sub-cohort trait results. In all cases the effect sizes and their significance remained similar or increased (see Supplementary Table 2 for comparisons with and without outliers). After exclusion of outliers, these effect sizes translate into a reduction of 1.2 cm in height and 137 ml in FEV1 for the offspring of first cousins, and into a decrease of 0.3 SD in g and 10 months less educational attainment.
Chase Flores
We performed a number of analyses to exclude confounding. Whilst SROH is wholly a genetic effect, its inheritance is entirely non-additive. Therefore, unlike in genome-wide association, an association with population genetic structure or co-segregation of additive genome-wide polygenic effects and SROH (as opposed to SNPs in a GWAS) are not expected as a matter of course, except in the case of siblings. However, confounding could still theoretically arise as discussed below. We therefore assessed this by conducting stratified and covariate analyses. We found effects of similar magnitude and in the same direction for all four traits across isolated and non-isolated European, Finnish, African, Hispanic, East Asian and South and Central Asian populations (Extended Data Fig. 5a, Supplementary Table 3). We further tested whether the effect sizes were similar when cohorts were split into more and less homozygous groups. The effect sizes were very similar even though the degree of homozygosity (and variation in homozygosity) varied 3-10-fold between the two strata (depending on which cohorts contributed to the trait; Extended Data Fig. 5b). This suggests a broadly linear relationship with SROH. In general confidence intervals overlap for stratified estimates, suggesting differences arose due to sampling variance. Larger confidence intervals for some estimates reflect the lower power of some strata, in turn reflecting the sample size and degree of homozygosity of those strata (e.g. the wider confidence intervals for estimates of Educational Attainment βFROH for Finnish and African strata). Finally, we fitted educational attainment as a proxy for potential confounding by socio-economic status; this covariate was available in sufficient (47) cohorts to maintain power. The estimated effect sizes for height, FEV1 and g all reduced (17%, 18% and 35%, Fig. Extended Data Fig. 5c), but this might have been expected given the known covariance between these three traits and EA, and the association we found between educational attainment and FROH. We found very small differences (3-11% reductions) in estimated βFROH (Extended Data Fig. 6, supplementary table 4), when comparing the fitting of polygenic mixed models as opposed to fixed-effect-only models, again suggesting that confounding (in this case due to polygenic effects due to recent common ancestry) was not substantially affecting the results.
Elijah Adams
Despite the observed 17-35% reductions in estimated effect sizes for FROH on height, FEV1 and g, when fitting educational attainment as a covariate, the persistence of an effect suggests that most of the signals we observe are genetic. The consistency of effects with and without fitting relatedness and in particular in populations with very different degrees of homozygosity, all appear inconsistent with confounding due to environmental or additive genetic effects. As does the broad similarity in effect sizes across continents, although the relatively smaller numbers of cohorts of non-European descent meant we had limited power to detect inter-continental differences in effect sizes.
Landon Howard
Why do you act like this is our fault?
The obvious solution then would be to make more mixed babies. Problem solved.
Jason Parker
is also interesting to consider the potential influence of assortative mating, which is commonly observed for human stature, cognition and education. The phenotypic extremes could be more genetically similar to each other and hence the offspring more homozygous, even if the highly polygenic trait architectures reduce this effect. However, at least in its simplest balanced form, the increase in genetic similarity would be equal at both ends of the phenotypic distribution, leading to no linear association between such genetic similarity and the trait; both tall and short people would be more homozygous. Furthermore, humans also mate assortatively on body mass index (BMI), for which we see no effect. A more complex possibility, a form of reverse-causality, could arise when subjects from one trait extreme (e.g. more educated people) are on average more geographically mobile, and thus have less homozygous offspring, with those offspring in turn inheriting the trait extreme concerned15. We do not think that this mechanism can account for our results, since it does not readily explain the constancy of our results under different models, especially the similarity in βFROH for either more or less homozygous populations. Moreover, we observe similar effects in multiple single village cohorts, and the Amish and Hutterites, where there is no geographic structure and/or no sampling of immigrants, hence such confounding by differential migration cannot occur.
Nathan Edwards
Our estimate for the effect of homozygosity in height is consistent with previous work: genomic4 and pedigree16 studies have shown genome-wide homozygosity effects on stature with similar effect sizes (0.01 increase in F decreases height by 0.037 SD16 versus 0.029 SD in the present study). We speculate that homozygosity is acting on a shared endophenotype of torso size which we detect in the height and FEV1 traits. The fact that the FEV1/FVC (forced vital capacity) ratio is not associated with ROH points to the effect being on lung/chest size rather than airway calibre. The cognition effects cannot be wholly generated by height as an intermediate cause, given the greater proportion of variance explained for cognition, although we note that the correlation between height and cognition is 0.16 (SE 0.01), and the genetic correlation (the correlation in additive genetic values) is 0.28 (SE 0.09; ref 17). Height is the canonical human complex trait, highly heritable and polygenic, with 697 genome-wide significant variants in 423 loci explaining 20% of the heritability and all common variants predicted to explain 60% of the heritability18. Most of the genetic architecture appears to be additive in nature, however ROH analysis reveals a distinct directional dominance component.
Thomas Hernandez
Our genomic confirmation of directional dominance for g and discovery of genome-wide homozygosity effects on educational attainment in a wide range of human populations adds to our knowledge of the genetic underpinnings of cognitive differences, which are currently thought to be largely due to additive genetic effects19. Our findings go beyond earlier pedigree-based analyses of recent consanguinity to demonstrate that the observed effect of genome-wide homozygosity is not a result of confounding and influences demographically diverse populations across the globe. The estimated effect size is consistent with pedigree data (0.01 increase in F decreases g by 0.046 SD in our analysis and 0.029-0.048 SD in pedigree-based studies)20. It is germane to note that one extreme of cognitive function, early onset cognitive impairment, is strongly influenced by deleterious recessive loci21, so we can speculate that an accumulation of recessive variants of weaker effect may influence normal variation in cognitive function. Although increasing migration and panmixia have generated a secular trend in decreasing homozygosity22, the Flynn effect, wherein succeeding generations perform better on cognitive tests than their predecessors23, cannot be explained by our findings, because the intergenerational change in cognitive scores is much larger than the differences in homozygosity would predict. Likewise, the genome-wide homozygosity effect on height cannot explain a significant proportion of the observed inter-generational increases24.
Jose Martin
Inbreeding depression, which arises from the effect of genome-wide homozygosity, is ubiquitous in plants and is seen for numerous fitness-related traits in animals25, but we observed no effect for the 12 other mainly cardio-metabolic traits in which variation is strongly age-related. This suggests that previous reports in ecological studies or substantively smaller studies using pedigrees or relatively small numbers of genetic markers may have been false positives5,6. The lack of directional dominance on these traits does not, however, rule out a recessive component, as recessive variants acting in different directions will cancel out. Dominance variance is predicted to be greater for late-onset fitness traits26, so the lack of genome-wide homozygosity effects in the cardio-metabolic traits may be due to lack of directional dominance. ROH analyses within specific genomic regions are warranted to map recessive effects even when there is no genome-wide directional dominance. Such recessive effects have been observed for a subset of cardiovascular risk factors27 and expression traits28.
We have demonstrated the existence of directional dominance on four complex traits (stature, lung function, cognitive ability and educational attainment) whilst showing any effect on the other 12 health-related traits is at least almost an order of magnitude smaller or non-existent. This directional dominance implies that size and cognition (like schizophrenia protective alleles29) have been positively selected in human history – or at least that some variants increasing these traits contribute to fitness. However, the lack of any evidence for an association between many late onset cardiovascular disease risk factors and ROH is perhaps surprising and suggests testing directly for an association between ROH and disease outcome. The magnitude of genome-wide homozygosity effects is relatively small in all cases, thus Darwin’s supposition30 of “any evil [of inbreeding] being very small” is substantiated.

METHODS
Outline
Our aim was to look for an association between a genetic effect (SROH) and 16 complex traits. Our approach followed best practice genome-wide association meta-analysis (GWAMA) protocols, where applicable, except we had only one genetic effect to test.
Cohorts were invited to join based on known previous participation in GWAMA and willingness to participate. 159 sub-cohorts were created from 102 population-based or case-control genetic studies, by separating different genotyping arrays, cases and controls or ethnic sub-groups to ensure each sub-cohort was homogeneous. Within each of the 159 sub-cohorts we measured the association between SROH and trait using the following model. Where a sub-cohort had been ascertained on the basis of a disease status associated with a particular trait, that sub-cohort was excluded from the corresponding trait analysis.
Phenotype was regressed on genetic effect and known relevant covariates within each cohort, under the model specified in Equation 1. The estimated genetic effect of SROH was then meta-analysed using inverse variance meta-analysis.
Y=μ+b1SROH+b2age+b3sex+b4PC1+b5PC2+b6PC3+e
Where Y is the vector of trait values, μ the intercept, b1 the effect of SROH and b2-6 the effect of covariates. PC1 – PC3, the post quality control within-cohort principal components of the cohort’s relationship matrix and e the residual. Relationship matrices were determined genomically by each cohort using genome wide array data. In addition, any other cohort-specific covariates known to be associated with the trait, including further principal components, and any trait-specific covariates and stratifications, such as medication and smoking status, were fitted as specified below. SROH was the sum of ROH called, with a length of at least 1.5 Mb using PLINK31.
As is routine in GWAMA, for family-based studies only, we also fitted an additional term to account for additive genetic values and relatedness, using grammar+ type residuals and full hierarchical mixed modeling using GenABEL32 and hglm33, as specified in equation 2.
Y=μ+b1SROH+b2age+b3sex+b4PC1+b5PC2+b6PC3+Za
Where a is the additive genetic value of each individual. Var(a) is assumed to be proportionate to the Genomic Relationship matrix (GRM) (a pedigree relationship matrix was used in the Framingham Heart Study) . Z is the identity matrix.
We then meta-analysed the regression coefficients (b1) of traits on SROH for the 159 subcohorts.

Cohort Recruitment
Data from 102 independent genetic epidemiology studies of adults were included. All subjects gave written informed consent and studies were approved by the relevant research ethics committees. Homogeneous sub-cohorts were created for analysis on the basis of ethnicity, genotyping array or other factors. Where a cohort had multiple ethnicities, sub-cohorts for each separate ethnicity were created and analysed separately. In all cases European-, African-, South or Central Asian-, East Asian- and Hispanic-heritage individuals were separated. In some cases sub-categories such as Ashkenazi Jews were also distinguished. Ethnic outliers were excluded, as were the second of any monozygotic twins and pregnant subjects. Continental ancestry of cohorts participating in each trait study is presented in Extended data Table 1. Cohort genotyping and summary information are shown in Supplementary Table 6, with age, sex, trait and homozygosity summary statistics given in Supplementary Tables 9,10,, and 11.For case-control and trait extreme studies, patients or extreme-only sub-cohorts were analysed separately to controls. Where case status was associated with the trait under analysis the sub-cohort was excluded from that study (see below).
Subjects within a sub-cohort were genotyped using the same SNP array, or where two very similar arrays were used (e.g. Illumina OmniExpress and IlluminaOmni1), the intersection of SNPs on both arrays – provided the intersection exceeded 250,000 SNPs. Where a study used two different genotyping arrays, separate subcohorts were created for each array, and analysis was done separately. Paediatric cohorts were not included.

Genotyping
All subjects were genotyped using high density genome-wide (>250,000 SNP) arrays, from Illumina, Affymetrix or Perlegen. Custom arrays were not included. Each study’s usual array-specific genotype quality control standards for genome-wide association were used and are shown in Supplementary Table 6. Only autosomal data were analysed.
Luke Howard
Phenotyping
We studied 16 quantitative traits which are widely available and represent different domains related to health, morbidity and mortality: height, body mass index (BMI), waist : hip ratio (WHR), diastolic and systolic blood pressure (DBP, SBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FI), Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), total-, HDL- and LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), ratio of FEV1 to forced vital capacity (FVC), general cognitive ability (g) and years of educational attainment (EA). Phenotypic QC was performed locally to assess the accuracy and distribution of phenotypes and covariates. Further covariates were included when the relevant GWAS consortium also included them. The trait categories were anthropometry, blood pressure, glycaemic traits, classical lipids, lung function, cognitive function and educational attainment, following models in the GIANT34, ICBP35, MAGIC36, CHARGE37, Spirometa38 and SSGAC39 consortia. The model for FEV1 did not include height as a covariate. Effect sizes for FEV1 therefore include size effects that also underpin height. Studies assembled files containing study traits and the following covariates: sex, age, first three principal components of ancestry, lipid-lowering medication, ever-smoker status, anti-hypertensive medication, diabetes status and year of birth (YOB). Educational attainment was defined in accordance with the ISCED 1997 classification (UNESCO), leading to seven categories of educational attainment that are internationally comparable39. LDL values estimated using Friedewald’s equation were accepted. Cohorts without fasting samples did not participate in the LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting insulin or fasting plasma glucose analyses. Cohorts with semi-fasting samples fitted a categorical or quantitative fasting time variable as a covariate. Subjects with less than 4 hours fasting were not included.
Tyler Taylor
Where subjects were ascertained, for example, on the basis of hypertension, that sub-cohort was excluded from analysis of traits associated with the disorder, for example blood pressure. The traits excluded from meta-analysis are as follows: ascertainment on type-2-diabetes, thus fasting insulin, HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose excluded; ascertainment on hypertension, thus blood pressures excluded; ascertainment on venous thrombosis or coronary artery disease, thus blood lipids excluded; ascertainment on obesity or the metabolic syndrome, thus blood lipids, body mass index, waist-hip ratio, fasting insulin and fasting plasma glucose excluded.
Somewhat unusually for a large consortium meta-analysis, the majority of the analysis after initial genotype and phenotype QC was performed by a pipeline of standardised R and shell scripts, to ensure uniformity and reduce the risk of errors and ambiguities (available at wiki.ed.ac.uk
Evan Phillips
Calling Runs of Homozygosity
SNPs with more than 3% missingness across individuals or with a minor allele frequency less than 5% were removed. ROH were defined as runs of at least 50 consecutive homozygous SNPs spanning at least 1500 kb, with less than a 1000 kb gap between adjacent ROH and a density of SNP coverage within the ROH of no more than 50 kb/SNP, with one heterozygote and 5 no calls allowed per window, and were called using PLINK31, with the following settings –homozyg-window-snp 50 –homozyg-snp 50 –homozyg-kb 1500 –homozyg-gap 1000 –homozyg-density 50 –homozyg-window-missing 5 –homozyg-window-het 1. The same criteria were used by McQuillan et al.3, except SNP density has been relaxed to avoid regions of sparser coverage (still including 50 SNPs) being missed. The sum of runs of homozygosity was then calculated (SROH) . F was calculated as SROH/(3×109 ROH ) reflecting the length of the autosomal genome. Copy number variants (CNV) are known to influence cognition40; however, prior calling of CNV and ROH in one of our cohorts reduced the SROH by only 0.3%3, making it implausible that deletions called as ROH influence our findings.

ROH called from different genotyping arrays
We show that SROH called with these parameters is relatively insensitive to the density and type of array used (Extended data Fig. 7). We used 2.5 million SNPs available for 851 HapMap and 1000 Genomes Project41 samples from multiple continents to investigate the effect of array when using our ROH-calling parameters in plink. The dataset included samples of African, European, admixed American, South and East Asian heritage. By subsampling SNPs from the 2.5 million we created array data for the commonly used Illumina CNV370 and OmniExpress beadchips and the Affymetrix6 array for each individual (see Supplementary Table 7 for details of the SNP numbers). The correlation in SROH using different arrays on the same individuals was 0.93-0.94 for all pairwise chip comparisons.
Brandon Campbell
Trait association with SROH
The association between trait and SROH was calculated using a linear model in accordance with equation 1. Additional covariates were fitted for some analyses (shown below) or for some cohorts where analysts were aware of study specific effects (e.g. study centre). For BMI, WHR, FEV1, FEV1/FVC and g, trait residuals were calculated for the model excluding SROH, these residuals were then rank-normalised and the effect of SROH on these rank-normalised residuals estimated. Triglycerides and fasting insulin were natural log transformed. Additional covariates were as follows: age2 was included as a covariate for all traits apart from height and g. BMI was included as a covariate for WHR, SBP, DBP, FPG, FI and HbA1c. YOB was included as a covariate for educational attainment and ever-smoking for FEV1 and FEV1/FVC. Where a subject was known to be taking lipid-lowering medication, total cholesterol was adjusted by dividing by 0.8. Similarly, where a subject was known to be taking anti-hypertensive medication, SBP and DBP measurements were increased by 15 and 10 mm Hg, respectively.
Where the cohort was known to have significant kinship, genetic relatedness was also fitted, using the mixed model, in accordance with equation 2. The polygenic model was fitted in GenABEL using the fixed covariates and the genomic relationship matrix32. GRAMMAR+ (GR+) (ref. 42) residuals were then fitted to SROH as well as the full mixed model being fitted simultaneously, using GenABEL’s hierarchical generalised linear model (HGLM) function33. Populations with kinship thus potentially had three estimates of βFROH: using fixed effects only, and using the mixed model approaches, (GR+ and HGLM) for SROH.
Elijah King
To investigate potential confounding, where available, EA was added as an ordinal covariate and all models rerun, giving revised estimates of βFROH. This is potentially an over adjustment for g due to the phenotypic and genetic correlations with EA43. However it must be recognised that EA does not capture all potential environmental confounding.
Cohort phenotypic means and standard deviations were checked visually for inter-cohort consistency, with apparent outliers then being corrected (e.g. due to units or incorrectly specified missing values), explained (e.g. due to different population characteristics) or excluded. Individual sub-cohort trait means and standard deviations are tabulated in Supplementary Table 9 and age and gender information is in Supplementary Table 10.

Ask for studies that prove their claim, read it carefully, debunk it.
For example
What proof is there for this?
The ancient world was far more diverse, a third of Rome was in Europe, a third in Asia and a third in Africa.
Think carefully, how could this claim have any validity?
Carson Parker
Meta-analysis
Again as is routine in GWAMA, analysis was performed within homogeneous sub-populations and only meta-analysis of the estimated (within population) effect sizes was used to combine results between populations, avoiding any confounding effects of inter-population differences in trait or genetic effect distributions. Inverse-variance meta-analysis of all sub-cohorts’ effect estimates was performed using Rmeta, on a fixed effect basis (Supplementary Table 5 compares random effects meta-analysis). In the principal analyses, for cohorts with relatedness, HGLM estimates of βFROH were preferred, however where HGLM had failed to converge, results using GRAMMAR+ were included. These results were combined with those for unrelated cohorts on a fixed model only basis. Result outliers were defined as individual cohort by trait results, which failed the hypothesis, cohort (βFROH) = pre-QC meta-analysis (βFROH), with a t-test statistic >3. Analyses were performed with and without outliers for βFROH in phenotypic units and in intra-sex phenotypic standard deviations (Supplementary Table 8). The principal results we present are for FROH with outliers included for the hypothesis tests (which turns out to be more conservative), but with outliers excluded when estimating βFROH (ref. 44). Meta-analysis was performed using inverse variance meta-analysis in the R package Rmeta, with βFROH taken as a fixed effect and alternatively as a random effect. The principal results are on a fixed effects basis, with Supplementary Table 5 showing comparison with the random effects analysis.
Meta-analyses were rerun for various subsets, according to geographic and demographic features of the cohorts. Cohorts were divided into more homozygous and less homozygous strata with the boundary being set so each within-stratum meta-analysis had equal statistical power.

Not necesarily. But it likely doesnt mean what they want it to mean. Modern travel has only really been a middle-class commodity for less than a generation. Heck. Im twenty 27 and my mom has never been inside a plane.
The greatest number of mixed babies made in the generations the studies wherever they might be? build on, are most likely from the uppermost parts of the middleclass. Why higher education most likely stems from the fact that both parrents where already working at universities and such. In short: This study claims that all differense relates to social factors, yet social factors are likely the achileus heel bringing down their assumptions.
But again. Unlike professor Nyborg from Aarhus University, they wount produce their methodology. Rendering their claims useless and us to guess in the dark.

Right. It doesn't change that the production of more mixed race babies benefits mixed people. But of course the better solution would be to halt miscegenation, cull out the genetic failures, and make mixed people breed with other mixed people exclusively. A strict code of law and cultural encouragement towards having babies would promote law abiding, intelligent members of the society to procreate, eventually stabilizing the pops genetics and allowing for homogeneity.

What about the part where white people are generally taller than Asians, and thus one group improves on their height (Also, really? Height is supposed to be this important to convince people to mix?) while the other group declines? What about the increased risk for mental health issues, including depression?

Sorry OP, but their study is bullshit. Humans all over the world are getting larger because YT keeps fattening them up.

And with better nutrition comes what? Higher intelligence. The brain needs food during developmental years too.

Another reason would be a lot of these race mixers are indoctrinated college "liberals". A working class type usually wouldn't be "appealing enough" to foreigners and they usually have more common sense not to do so as well. Also… "intelligence" can be a very relative thing. Just because you are giving them all they want to hear and therefore they've decided you're "more intelligent" doesn't mean you are. They have a model type citizen and of course he would race mix. He would "gain 10 intelligences" if it were up to the scum pushing this agenda. Egocentrism and opportunistic treason doesn't equate to intelligence. Just because you're immoral doesn't mean you're smarter. You're still just scum.

the left has been saying all these things for 50 years - and then suddenly when it becomes convenient to their agenda they decide that there are in fact ubermensch after all, they're just mixed-race people instead of pure Aryans
in reality, the findings of this study can be explained by a few simple observations
-rich people are generally smarter
-rich people are generally healthier and better fed (hence, taller)
-rich people can afford to travel abroad more
-rich people are more likely to come into contact with people from further away, and are thus more likely to marry them and have mixed-race children
-rich people can also afford better education for their children
the subtext of this whole thing is simply that the aristocracy is more likely to marry interracially. Which, given how hard they're pushing acceptance of interracial marriages, is hardly surprising.
Of course, the aristocracy get to pick the cream of the crop when it comes to people from other races (up to and including fucking them), so it's allright for them. We're seeing globally a situation developing which kind of resembles the situation in Europe in the 18th century - which the aristocracy across the continent intermarried with each other so much that they started to have far more in common with the aristocrats of neighbouring countries than they did with the lower social classes of their own country. They began to develop their own, international culture separate from the old regional cultures. And as the old ties that once bound master and tenant started to disintegrate and the rulers became more and more remote, the aristocracy started to exploit the classes below them more and more.
And this finished up at the end of the 18th century with a massive series of revolutions which utterly decimated the aristocratic classes across many countries and replaced it with the rule of the bourgeosie (i.e. the middle classes who actually got shit done rather than relying on inherited wealth), and a surge of nationalism as ruler and ruled tried to find a shared ideology that they could form a stable partnership on.
I hope you've all got your pitchforks ready. It won't be long now.

top kek
it's true, op. but they're talking about it making blacks smarter, not whites. ofc let's leave that neat little detail out.
some more fun facts:
some 80% of abortions are pure black babies. mixed-race tend to not abort at nearly that rate. the result is blacks becoming more white, and pure blacks killing themselves off. most american blacks are 30-50% european. often even more.
does this mean race mixing is good? of course not. but they're the ones jumping on that spear, not us. it's just disgusting to watch.

The average IQ is always 100 because it is normed. The average IQ of the English is 100 because the is the population that the data is normed to.
Yeah. This data was available in 2015 so I'm confused as to how this is a new study, or how the conclusion that "mixed race" children are taller and smarter. Fact of the matter is that mutational load can be bred out in a single generation from a mating partner that is as closely related as a 3rd cousin.
So the benefits of this kind of outbreeding has nothing to do with race mixing at all, and there are no demonstrable positive effects when you go further abroad than those people not immediately related to you.
I'm sure if you are looking at a "global" study which this purports to be you'd be getting this marked increase in median height and IQ in the muslim subcontinent and parts of the Arab world where you've got tens of millions of people who have been practicing 1st cousin or uncle/niece marriage for many successive generations. Of course again even if you were a severely inbred Paki you could still produce the same results if simply didn't marry and procreate with your 1st or 2nd cousin or your father's siblings but some other local Paki that isn't directly related to you.
Mexico is one of the richest and fattest countries in the world, so it's not as if 1st generation Mexican immigrants were suffering from malnutrition in the first place.

Caleb Torres
Hudson Lewis
Aren't Jews and Asians smarter than whites though.
Noah Perez
Blacks do have disproportionate numbers of abortions, but its foolish to assume that its controlling the black population or to assume that it doesn't affect white people.
Black people probably wouldn't procreate so much if abortion weren't an option, and if they weren't paid to have children via welfare. Nevertheless even with abortions they still reproduce above replacement levels.
With regards to abortion's affect on white people, you will find that it affects the upper and middle classes far more than it affects the lower classes. Let's say for the sake of it that they have the same number of abortions, or even that lower classes have abortions more commonly–the poor still have more children. So if a poor woman conceives five times and delivers three, an upper class woman conceives twice and delivers once.
All things considered, blacks and lower class whites may have MORE abortions, but if it reduces their collective population by 1/3, its known to reduce the population of the upper and middle classes by 1/2 (source: 70% of Swedish babies are aborted).
Gavin Wilson

If this is true, the interesting question is why this wasn't as much of a factor before the modern age.
Austin Hill
No. Asian's bell curve has a different shape, it's sharp, resulting in a mildly higher median and fewer end spectrum IQs, and jews, even assuming their claims, are simply are dwarfed from demographics, there are ten times as many Whites with 130+IQ than jews, in fact, there are more Whites with 130+IQ than there are jews in the world, smart, dumb and in between, by nearly double.
Jaxon Martin
Not really. National IQ scores put Whites at least in the same ballpark as East Asians.
Jonathan Hall
On that note, we can expect Ashkenazi Jews to have EXTREMELY sharp curves. Every Ashkenazi Jew is genetically only as far as a second cousin to his peers.
William Miller
Jews are cunning, and Asians have calculation prowess and micro-creativity. In terms of sheer IQ we are all around the same area on average. Europeans surely have more creativity and more imagination.

Eli Howard
Doesn't seem to be the case. Half-Asians are notorious for psychological disturbances. I've found that its only those with Asian mothers that have this same pattern–therefore I think Asian mitochondrial DNA is incompatible with European DNA. Hapas with Asian fathers and white mothers seem just fine.
Owen Walker
you can't expect across the board gains
where there is a positive there will be an associated negative

Ian Powell
That's just false. IQ in western countries is declining.
Modern western society has greatly diminished the role of natural selection in both weeding out undesirable traits and rewarding those with beneficial ones.
IQ plays a very subdued role in determining viability these days, and if intelligence is not positively selected for it starts to regress…
Also thanks to the wonders of modern medicine and such, mildly deleterious mutations have stopped reflecting in our individual fitness when it comes to mate selection, making it extremely difficult to get rid of them through genetic drift, and thus have been accumulating in our collective gene pool.
This will inevitably lower our collective fitness, resulting in degradation of both physical and cognitive traits in the next generations.
Height is almost completely hereditary. If you don't know how to refute that one on your own then I can't help you.
Chase Nelson
Mixed races can be positive, and can be negative. Uncontrolled its mostly negative, because the offspring lose the unique sets of traits and behaviors common to each parent race. But, done responsibly through careful breeding or under heavy natural or artificial selection, mixed races have the potential to blend certain traits from each parent in a beneficial emergent properties.

I have wondered this, if the Y chromosome remains constant over generations and mutations are rare, why is it that IQ regresses towards the mean? If a great grandparent has the same Y chromosome as his male progeny wouldn't they on average have similar IQ's and only be affected individually by differing X chromosomes?

Sure it's true for the darker half.
Intelligence is gene based. A child with a smart mother and smart father should be at least as smart as them if not more so, recessive retard traits and the 'tism aside. Combined with the advancement of science and math that will take place between his/her birth and their parents the child should be smarter.
It's more of a tossup between a dumb parent and a smart parent. Sometimes you get lucky and a smart one pops out sometimes the dumber half wins out. Even if the kid is not as smart as the parent initially if they're hard workers and a good study they can get ahead based on society's progress.

Superficial Jewish science pushes the meme of 'hybrid vigor', which is what this article is referring to, but it's a lie. The theory of hybrid vigor has been statistically disproven by a preponderance of studies showing increased risk of genetic diseases and psychological abnormalities. Many good studies, better than what you will read in the Jewish race-mixing media, have shown that race-mixing is just not a good idea for a wide variety of practical reasons, but rather bad for the race-mixed couple and bad for the species.

Hunter Watson
user, that's literally the entire purpose of anything leftism advocates. Control.
Any position can be taken or abandoned at will so long as it furthers the agenda.
Heritability of intelligence can help further the slave-race agenda in the area of miscegenation, but can hurt when applied to areas like immigration, education, affirmative action, taxation, housing, and the like. Thus it is only true when advocating for racemixing, but false when talking about the failure of Africans.
Don't take anything a leftist says at face value, or even assume that they believe it to be true. Analyze what they say from the perspective of how it could advance leftist/Jewish control, not whether it is true or logical.

All that to say that all those studies seem to butter ppl into racemixing whereas the depression/quest of identity/problems for transplants are being ignored and silenced.

This is the takeaway here. The study demonstrates a clear link between heterozygosity and improved general intelligence, height, and educational attainment. Race has nothing to do with it.
If Mohammed of the sahel decides to fuck someone from a few clicks over, he'll produce someone smarter than if he'd stayed at home. In either case, a western european's offspring would be superior.

I live in China. can confirm. The Chinese won't hire a westerner/foreigner for a position that can be filled by a Chinese. Working in China as a westerner your options for jobs are limited to teaching English or working for a western company with branches in China.
But interestingly enough chinese companies very often hire Westerners in posititions that do creative work, such as advertising and other design/creative roles.
I've heard this explained away with the reasoning that as children, Chinese schools and parents focus more on their kids learning math and science stuff, therefore they don't learn to be as creative.
However I suspect that the reason has a lot to do with genetics as well.

tl;dr you are wrong
While it is true that, strictly speaking, evolutionary traits such as higher capacity to undertake complex mental tasks do not imply superiority in the bigger scheme of things (we are not better than bacteria and cockroaches in terms of fitness to reproduce and survive, and we may well be outlived by «lesser beings» like them and even negritos, if we don't smarten up), the fact that different human races exist and posses both different genotypes and phenotypes is a given fact, illustrated by some striking examples such as the vast difference in the gestation period length, life expentancy, intelligence (do you dare to check the IQ of pygmy peoples and khoisan, as well as other characteristics of native peoples around the World?) and a vast array of other factors given the same social and environmental circumstances. These may be subtle in some instances, and extreme in others, but in any case exist and are only denied because current society doens't have the balls to face reality.

First of all, you should disregard popular news articles about studies. Journalists are notoriously shit at covering studies and will often reverse the actual conclusion. Even when they managed to understand the study's conclusion, their discussion of the methodology will be such garbage that you won't even be able to tell what possible flaws there are.
That being said, it looks like this study is rehashing the well-known finding that inbreeding depresses IQ. You don't need to marry someone of a different race or even a different ethnicity to avoid that, just don't marry your cousin.
Jose Howard

Makes sense if you have two healthy, smart parents from more competent cultures. The kid will grow up bilingual, robust in cultural knowledge, and if his parents are good looking then he will also procure a unique and appealing guise. The downside is if their kid is ugly, then he will be an outcast unless he has talent or charisma.
I really do suspect the lack of creativity is genetic as well. I lived in Taiwan and despite their high IQs and knowledge of maths/sciences, Taiwanese are very uncreative and robotic. Even the ones with more creativity than their peers ripoff ideas from westerners but mask it as their own.
East Asia is a culture of autism, except for a minority of people who escaped the robo-curse. Hell, it's even self-evident in their restaurants. They're so socially inept that they cannot seem to figure out that playing somber music in a hotpot joint is both idiotic and depressing.
I live in Thailand now, and it's an odd mixed-bag over here. They're almost like nignogs, except they were enriched with Buddhism and learned unrustlement, thus criminals mostly resort to petty crime. Then you have Thais who want to be East Asian and copy their ant-like, all-work-and-no-play mentality. But overall, Thailand is a country of sleepy, low-functioning negroes. It's a lot better than dealing with a high-functioning autistic society that demands unrealistic goals without a clue about what goes on around them.

You are obviously talking from ignorance and willful thinking, and for what you said seem to be a first class flat earther christfag. So, I am not even going to try to explain you the central dogma of biology, left alone its current expanded version which indeed explores the impact of diet and other sociocultural factors in the genome and epigenome of individuals and their offspring. What I want you to keep in mind and never forget is that you are a retard and should avoid engaging in conversations with human beings, because your mental retardation is not even funny.

The design and creative aspects have a lot to do with design standards in the west being different from the east.
Western taught designers know what works in western markets. Asian designers don't.
I studied design and worked in the industry for 7 years and have no idea why Asian designers can't just learn western design practices, but it is what it is.

If your ancestors have been 88% cousins marrying each other, any cross fertilization - and even Nigger mixing in will improve your genetics.
I highly doubt that normal Chinese or European pairs improve. How much more would be possible?
Matthew Hill
A very important note your post.
Now funny thing is that Asian cultures and their phytotox– hormones make them exactly a little mit more introspective like women are. Women are more introspective, while men from a little boy onwards are more interested in _things_
Freudian geopolitics would argue the chosen people with their wrathful and irrational god want to separate a natural harmony of Asia.

"More specifically if the threshold for entry into gifted education were set at IQ 125, the ratio of Blacks to Whites in representative samples would hover around 1:30, and for Hispanics 1:5. Asians would tend to be overrepresented above this IQ level by 2:1."–Linda Gottfredson
"In the U.S., Whites have an IQ of 101.4 with a standard deviation of 14.7 and Asians have an IQ of 106 with a standard deviation of 15."
udel.edu
To illustrate this point: in a normal population with a mean IQ of 100, and a standard deviation of 15, 228 children in every 10,000 would have an IQ score two standard deviations above the mean, that is, a score of IQ 130 or higher. However, with a mean shift upwards of half a standard deviation, as reported by Jensen for Asian Americans, no fewer than 668 children in 10,000 would score in the IQ 130+ range. Many American gifted programmes which employ an IQ criterion for entrance set their entry level at IQ 130; in this situation, 6.68 per cent of Asian children would be eligible to enter these programmes on the basis of IQ as opposed to only 2.28 per cent of Caucasian children-an overrepresentation by a factor of 2.93. Yet Sternberg reports an overrepresentation by a factor of 5! Why do American gifted programmes contain almost twice the number of Asians than could be statistically expected from Jensen's projections. The children of this study have scored at or above IQ 160 on the Standford-Binet Intelligence Test L-M, an instrument with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation fo 16. Thus these children score at least 3.75 standard deviations above the mean. Fewer than 9 children in 100,000 score at or beyond this level. However, if we shift the mean upwards by 0.5 of a standard deviation, to investigate the implications of Jensen's findings and if we assume the standard deviation for the Asian population to be the same as that for non-Asians, then the criterion score of IQ 160 for entrance to this study becomes only 3.25 standard deviations above the new mean. Beyond this point lie not 9, but 58, children in 100,000. If Jensen's findings regarding a higher Asian mean are correct, and if they hold good for the Asian-Australian population as well as Asian-Americans, then we could expect to find Asian-Australians over-represented in the study by a factor of 6.5. Yet the over-representation actually found id an astonishing 15.6!

Jordan Wright
Look like good education to me. Are you liberal by any chance?
Jaxson Gomez
A couple of points here take them as you will:
1. It doesn't say who is mixing with who. "mixed race" could be white/asian white/indo-aryan they could even include mixes of nonwhite races (although that would make them a bad goy)
2. when they say taller/more intelligent than their ancestors, whose "ancestors" are they talking about? Of course the white/asian child in the pic will be taller than the males on the Asian side of the family, but probably wouldn't be taller than the dad unless the Asian mom was yao ming's sister or something
3. They fail to account for sexual selection. Even the most pozzed of liberals tend to select mates of similar intellect (give it time though, you'll probably see salon posting some shit like "5 stories of mixed-intellect couples that are just wow beautiful"). That being said while the intelligence curves of races aren't the same there is overlap e.g. a white of above average intelligence could feasibly find an African of similar intelligence (who would be further up on their race's bell curve) , and have a kid with them that would be of similar or possibly greater intellect to either parent. It wouldn't surprise me if many racemixing whites are of above average intelligence, simply because they are the ones who make it the furthest into the education machine.
The true problem of racemixing in this case is the nature of identity politics today. If I happened to find a truly exceptional black girl and had a kid with her, my kid would be at least 50% white but as far as society is concerned the kid is 100% black. Being black does not depend on a requisite proportion of sub-saharan African genes, where being white implies relative racial purity. This kid could be just as intelligent as me or my spouse but would identify only with the mom's race and would be subjected to all the degeneracy of other blacks.
Brandon Foster
You heard it folks, Asians and Caucasians will get smarter when they breed with niggers and sandniggers.
Jacob Thomas
Better with numbers, not necessarily more intelligent.
Julian Thomas
East Asians breeding with Europeans and vice versa? Yes, probably. Two smartest racial types that have ever existed. IQ either will remain the same or go up.
Whites and yellows breeding with shitskins? No, absolutely not. Lowering the average when that happens because it's not creating more high IQ Europeans or East Asians.
Joshua Lee
Race mixing kike cuck detected
Joseph Phillips
That's nice. Doesn't refute anything I've said. You should stop equating all non-whites with shitskins.
Ethan Allen
You don't, really. It's not about science–it's just perpetual lies. It doesn't even make sense. Why would mixing races raise the average of anything? If anything, it would drive capabilities like IQ down because the gene pools are too different, and would cause conflicts in the body, just like they cause conflicts in the mind a la Supreme Gentleman.
I guess you could go about "refuting" people that saw Elvis, too, but it's kind of a waste of time. I wouldn't acknowledge enemy propaganda. The right thing to do is shut it out. Most people hate lamestream media now anyway.

I have 5 kids (2 boys and 3 girls) that range in age from 17 to early 20's. I'm about 6ft even and all but 1 of my kids are taller than me. The one that is shorter really takes after her mother in both looks and stature, but even she is taller than her mother. All my friends kids were taller than their parents by the time they were around 16
Isaac Cruz
It is not some unquanitfiable "creativity".
While east-asians have higher average IQ, their IQ variance is lower. Or in other words, they tend to stay close to their average intelligence, whereas whites will tend to be either stupid or smart.
This can be seen on bell curves comparing the two races. There are more white geniuses than east-asian geniuses, despite their advantage.
A retarded person or a criminal does not pull society as much down, as a genius pulls it up, so all in all I'd say it is an advantage for whites.
