@hbdchick Not really. A lot of HBD people really *are* like that. Culture and environment are both more important than genetic variation.
@AlWest13 @JayMan471 but the makassarese didn't invent dutch-model schooners. or anything that the dutch invented: https://hbdchick.wordpress.com/2010/12/06/extraversion-and-culture/ …

@hbdchick@JayMan471 Uh huh. So the Makassarese are dumber than the Dutch? Is that the idea? -
@AlWest13@JayMan471 i don't know about the makassarese in particular, but prolly indos have a lower ON AVERAGE than the dutch, yes. -
@hbdchick@JayMan471 Maybe so, but they also invented the outrigger that forms the basis of modern racing canoes. -
@AlWest13@JayMan471 or work out the wave theory of light?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_inventions#1678_Wave_theory_of_light … -
@hbdchick@JayMan471 Because: humans can learn from one another, and that's most of what determines human culture. -
@AlWest13@JayMan471 you haven't - nor can you - demonstrate that. just 'cause you keep saying it, doesn't make it so.

@hbdchick@JayMan471 You're missing the point, obviously: Makassarese could *adopt* things from people genetically dissimilar to them.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
