It’s been done, both between race and intraracial (Europeans).
Dog brains show large neuroanatomical differences related to breeds (races) and their purposes (to humans). Hopefully, someone will do this for human brain data too, so we don't have to rely solely on old crude total volume comparisons. https://www.gwern.net/docs/genetics/selection/2019-hecht.pdf …pic.twitter.com/gl9z9npeU8

I wouldn’t hold my breathe for somebody to do this on humans; they’d likely find the wrong results.

Some of us are persuing it. ;)

And I would imagine one could racially classify brains very accurately with machine learning on existing images. It would interesting to see a machine intelligence naively capture this mass social fiction.

Oh sure. It's been done already, but in a roundabout way.https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/10/11/440776 …

The study included border collies but no other shepherds.

So, does this mean that there may be some genetic differences between, say, an African and an Asian brain?
