fst of coyote and wolf is about as large as fst between europeans and west africans. All the pc caveating is pointless. Yeah humans had a complex history. Does not mean danes are magically the same as congolese.
Cathedral approved reply to obvious and correct human-dog breed comparisons. The only real disanalogy is the use of selective breeding. Better comparison might be between human races and species of crows. I don't recall seeing any Fst estimates for gaps between crow species.https://twitter.com/HollyDunsworth/status/1148597366141984770 …

These people are very fond of genetic fallacies, which in this case is a very juicy meta pun of sorts. :p

Not only that but there's the whole issue of human self-domestication, and of course non-random partner choice, which are both sort of directed/selected breeding of humans on themselves, but not as clean as the case of dog breeds for sheep herding, guarding, hunting etc.

I read this paper and the emotive language immediately red flagged it for me. Cc

Yes. Good heuristic is avoiding anything with lots of moral or political overtones. Anthropology is the most left-leaning social science ('science') field, so this kind of thing is to be expected.

Thanks, learned what a F_st is, but is the gap in IQ that's mentioned in Wikipedia correct? (Africa 68, Asia 106) if yes, could someone please add the missing citation? It's been under F_st in humans. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixation_index …

Statement doesn't really belong there. Some IP added it recently, just remove it. Gap is correct.

i think we should believe it, she said it's "peer reviewed"

Anthropologists are known for their dispassionate relation to empirical data.

We would've also accepted finches.

Yeah. I chose crows because they have a worldwide distribution of habitat, like humans, and haven't been artificially selected for (tho humans have, sort of!), and they are also obviously smart, which finches are not so much.
