Nothing is a scientific debate if you set the standard of evidence so high that nothing will satisfy it.

Like I said in my post. If you don't like mine, propose one of your own.

I have mine. For example, a large admixture mapping study with strong control variables would provide decisive evidence on the black-white gap. You make what are clearly scientific arguments but then retreat to the "this is not a scientific question" position when challenged.

That's indeed a good study design (used in medical research) there have been attempts of this kind in the 70s with the very rough techniques of the time. The results suggested a minor advantage for blacks with more African advantage. Never heard of it afterwards

@KirkegaardEmil has a small dataset where this can be tested, with genomic ancestry proportion estimates. The results are consistent with hereditarianism, but with wide confidence intervals and not many control variables.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

LMAO! That's ridiculous, your graph includes full blooded Europeans that live in different environments from Black Americans. Such studies only make sense if you compare the effect of admixture within African Americans and then maybe control for some environmental variables.

Europeans are included in the graph only for illustrative purposes. The regression is of IQ on African ancestry in the black sample.

Better to use the overall regression model as this includes the variance in ancestries from the various other subgroups. One strength is that the ancestry betas are essentially the same no matter which (sub)sample one fits it to.

If all groups are included in the same simple regression, the coefficients will be mainly determined by the largest group(s).

That's fine. White people don't really contribute to the estimation because they are ~100% European and European ancestry is the reference ancestry so it's beta is not directly estimated. Compare results for everybody vs. non-Whites (Table 12 vs. Table 17).
