An excellent summary.

I would put forth that most "racial" variations of behavior are more due to cultural influences than genetic.

LOL, what a coincidence! That's what the author claims in his book! You are a whiz.

Well, you would be wrong.

Twin studies show that genetics accounts for 97% of variability in fingerprints (duh!); 70% of IQ, 50% of sexual behavior, 50% of criminal activity and 40% of social attitudes.

Average IQ level of blacks is 15 points lower than whites. Average testosterone levels are 10-20% higher in college-age black males than whites. IQ and testosterone levels are key ingredients in behavior among young males.

I'm sure both cultural and genetic factors are involved. But culture is to some extent produced by the innate characteristics of the people in question.

Then which came first, the chicken (race) or the egg (culture)?
