“White Americans are both genetically weaker and less diverse than their black compatriots, a Cornell University-led study finds.
Analyzing the genetic makeup of 20 Americans of European ancestry and 15 African-Americans, researchers found that the former showed much less variation among 10,000 tested genes than did the latter, which was expected.
They also found that Europeans had many more possibly harmful mutations than did African, which was a surprise.
“Since we tend to think of European populations as quite large, we did not expect to see a significant difference in the distribution of neutral and deleterious variation between the two populations,” said senior co-author Carlos Bustamante, an assistant professor of biological statistics and computational biology at Cornell.
It’s been known for years that all non-Africans are descended from a small group, perhaps only a few dozen individuals, who left the continent between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago.
But the Cornell study, published in the journal Nature Thursday, indicates that Europeans went through a second “population bottleneck,” probably about 30,000 years ago, when the ancestral population was again reduced to relatively few in number.
The doubly diluted genetic diversity has allowed “bad” mutations to build up in the European population, something that the more genetically varied African population has had more success in weeding out.
“What we may be seeing is a ‘population genetic echo’ of the founding of Europe,” said Bustamante.
The Cornell team hopes to study other population groups in search of similar results.
For example, Native Americans show even less genetic diversity than Europeans, having descended from a few thousand people who entered North America about 10,000 years ago.
That fact was reinforced by a larger-scale study, also published in Nature, led by scientists from the Universities of Michigan and Virginia who analyzed genetic samples of 485 individuals scattered around the globe whose DNA is recorded in a French databank.
As would be expected with the “out of Africa” theory, the researchers found Africans had the greatest amount of genetic diversity, followed in turn by Middle Easterners, then Europeans and South Asians at about equal levels, then East Asians.
Native Americans had the least genetic diversity of all, indicating that part of the world was settled last.
“Previously, we’ve been able to look at the genome and say, ‘This part is from Africa, this is from Asia,'” explained Virginia research Andrew Singleton to Wired News. “Now we can look past that and say, ‘It’s from this part of Africa or Eurasia.'”
A third study, published in the journal Science on Friday, may be the most fascinating of all.
Drawing on 935 individual samples from the French databank, a Stanford University team found deep traces of long-ago population movements, all originating from a “ground zero” in Ethiopia, Kenya or Tanzania.
For example, the Pygmies of the Congo forest were found to be quite close to the Bushmen of Namibia — but both were very different from most other sub-Saharan groups.
The fierce and proud Bedouin nomads of the Middle East actually have a lot of European and South Asian blood.
The Asian-looking Hazara of Afghanistan are correct in claiming ancestry in Mongolia, but the Han, the dominant ethnic group in China, may be disappointed to discover they’re actually two peoples, one north, the other south.
Native Americans have at least one closely related group in Asia — the Yakuts of eastern Siberia, who themselves are related to other hunter-gatherer Siberian tribes, some of whom build wooden teepees.
The Basques in northeastern Spain and southwestern France may be right to demand their own nation — they’re not closely related to anyone else. Surprisingly, neither are the residents of Sardinia off the coast of Italy.
As with the other large-scale study, the Stanford team found the greatest diversity outside of Africa among people living in the wide crescent of land stretching from the eastern shore of the Mediterranean to northern India.
Not only was the region among the first colonized by the African migrants, they theorize, but the large number of European and East Asian genes among the population indicates that it’s long been the human highway, with large numbers of migrants from both directions conquering, trading and generally reproducing along its entire length.”

racist a holes comments here. africa was advancing,it just that europeans made a more advanced form of gun and comqured large parts of africa,wars and everthing else.african culture was still ahead of europe’s,and many ways still is.africa is still moving ahead,technogly wise but it’s slower on average than europe,but that are still moving.african civilization was and still is more advanced than europe’s.africa had many great civilizations. still do. read a book.
The reality of theocracy and kingship is african and will always be check out every village and hamlet there has to be a chief or king and council i dont see this culture amongst the so called caucasians, so how come all of a sudden some would like to percive us as so backward.
If one is to look at the whole age of mankind critically 500 years is really a short period of time to claim superiority based on scientific and technological advances, remember there is nothing new under the sun. and to think that the ancient african dynasties were anything but black is quite ignorant.
The problem with the IQ test is easily shown.
IQ tests are culture based. Different cultures score differently due to the cultural differences.
Take, for example, the horrific IQ scores achieved by immigrants to the US. In the early 1900s, white, non-English immigrants were classified as being more stupid than even the blacks, due to their bad IQ scores.
Yet, miraculously, 2 generations later they are at par with the other whites in the nation. Did they suddenly have a genetic shift in intelligence in such a short time? Or did they become acclimatized to the culture?
Selassie JAH!!
Ras Tumoje- Agreed! I love how ppl claim white supremcay based on the last few hundred yrs. In the grand scheme of things- its just a grain of sand. From what I’ve gathered, blacks were teaching the world for far longer. And just so every1 knows, creating/developing a gun and telling lies to oppress your fellow man doesn’t make you superior!
This is so stupid. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinions. Henry Smith can believe that blacks are intellectually inferior, and anyone who chooses can disagree with him. But if everyone here is so intelligent, why are you throwing racial slurs and discriminatory language at each other. I’d always figured that intellectual people could have intellectual, and mature, conversations. And to Smith: even if Black people are genetically inferior, it is only on an average and I am sure that the difference in average IQ’s (which like RasTumoje said, is culture based) is minute. So even if there are a number of Black people who are intellectually inferior (which I don’t believe), I promise you that there are black people out there who are much smarter than you, and your entire family. With that said, you should treat all people of all races with respect; especially if you are going to use intelligence as a means of determining human worth.
Furthermore, outside of all of the medical advances that you claim “your people” have had. A continent such as Africa that has been so badly corrupted and ravaged by slavery, colonialism, and exploitation is going to be behind in technological advances, regardless of intelligence. When a society of people lose their entire work force to conquistadors, that in itself will tear a people to ruins. Then trick them, cheat them, lie to them, and exploit them. Give them empty promise while you take all of their resources. Make them think they are inferior and helpless. Make their children think that from the day they are born.
So I say, everyone is entitled to their opinions. But if you look at history and culture, any society of people who have been brainwashed over hundreds of years to think that they are inferior and helpless will continue to think that way, no matter how intelligent they are. The smartest person can be infiltrated, captured mentally, and brainwashed. Take the smartest person you know; beat them, tie them up, give them shit food to eat, tell them they are hideous, tell them they are less than human, tell them they are inferior, and brainwash them to think they will never be successful or lead a meaningful life. Do all of that to the smartest person you know, for forty years, and then let them go and see how far they’ll get without ANY assistance. Just think about it for a second . . . he/she would probably end up committing suicide.
So at the end of the day, intelligence doesn’t mean a god damn thing. The majority of ethnicities in the world have never been giving the opportunity to prove themselves because white people felt the need to abandon human kindness and compassion and conquer the rest of the world in the most inhumane and cruel ways. Much of the world is still trying to find their way. From Mexico, to Columbia, to Venezuela, to Jamaica, to Afghanistan, to the Congo, to Sri Lanka, almost every country that has been dominated by White people is struggling to find its way. And many of these countries consist of some of the ethnicities that were pioneers in technology and medicine. Plus, if white people are so smart, then why are white people responsible for the destruction of the only home we have: Mother Earth.
Ashley,
Your intellegence as well as pleasantness jumps off my computer screen.
I am fifteen and in highschool and african american…I don’t think anyone wants to be told by anyone that they are dumb firstly by anyone else, themselves, and other races,but lastly by science…It makes me feel bad…I would just like to let you know also…that your IQ test don’t mean a damn thing there are monkeys out there with a higher IQ then Albert Einstein and all the other smart people…IQ test are just trick questions.
Great to know that a fifteen year old overstand’s the stupid so called IQ test by the dump
headed Europeans/Americans as nothing but a trash.It is simply because they that the African is MORE INTELLIGENT than the Caveman of Europe.Just another psychological
warefare against us.It is a mind but you’ll come out on top,for as long as you know who you are.MAN KNOW THYSELF AND FOLLOW THE PRINCIPLES OF MAAT.
We are the ORIGINAL PEOPLE OF CREATION.
Peace and Love.Hotep
White lepers are not HUEMAN beings,they were not created,only the coloreds are.They were made. No color ,No connection.Not a hueman and can NEVER be one. Ever see the Island of Dr. Moreau? What is the Law. We shall not walk on all fours. We shall not kill and eat any other animal like ourselves. Not a man but a kind of a man.So nothing equal about that creature.
All men are created equal.
WOW! Smith and other’s what u believe is a lie.Hueman beings were first.White or pink lepers cannot make a colored anything.I had to get in on this one. How can a non- melaninated mind build,think for that matter.When so-called whites were in the caves painting themselves blue, running in packs, that’s why thay love dogs.Doing what they do now, beastality,incest,raping,robbing,murdering. Our lives were fine until u turned white a symptom of leprosy.
White people used to be colored, but leprosy got the best of u. You are the cursed,no working pineal gland,had to escape Father the sun. Now our Father is your enemy,skin cancer is your reward for your wickedness. No white non-Hueman could withstand the hot climate of the African Continent,u still haven’t figured out how we built the pyramids.
Everywhere we went we built civilizations. Not one building,is in the caucas mountains. I guess that was because when we found them they had reverted to animals. It was the black ape that taught u. We taught u how to speak, how to clean yourselves, educated u at Timbuctu & Kemet ( Egypt) where Chemistry began.We educated you with our knowledge.Everything u know we taught u. H.P.Blavatsky in “Isis Unveiled” pg.515 chap.xiv ” What Egypt taught to others she certainly did not acquire by the international exchange of ideas and discoveries with her Semitic neighbors,nor from them did she receive her stimulus. The more we learn of the Egyptians, the more marvelous they seem! She sent no agents throughout the world to learn what others knew; but to her the wise men of neighboring nations resorted for knowledge. Alexander was not without her knowledge as he ransacked the library of Egypt & stole our knowledge from us and burned knowledge it had taken millions of years to gather from our melaninated minds straight from the creator to us.
The” father of history’ Herodotus ,not our but greek historian confesses more than once that Greece owes everything to Egypt (Kemet) pg.521 Isis Unveiled. Everyone but our albino children know the truth.Well their time is up. We got tricked out of our glory,our cave children tried to claim our accomplishments. Thank the creator we knew them then, and we know of their lies now. Hard for a child to lie to their parents.We are returning to our former selves we are at the time to wake up. Research the cagots. These people are the REAL UNTOUCHABLES. Lepers that have infiltrated all of society have put themselves as us & us as them. Their term is up. Our Mother is tired of them and as their Mothers & Fathers it time for time out and time for all immigrants to leave the earth. They have succeeded in destroying the earth singlehanded.We HUEMANS lived on this earth millions of years we never messed up our mother earth. It took them less than 500 years to mess over the animals who were here before us,the land we have always been in possession of,polluted the waters which were clean before their arrival. You white, LEPERED, mutant albinos are not the mothers or fathers of anyone. Your cursed skin could and never has produced anyone rich in color. We know and our people warned us of a pale man that was to bring destruction to the colored race. They were right talk about prophecy. But continue to get them tans and skin cancer do us a favor, continue to want to be a color, you will acheive it only in death. White mutant albinos curse is lifted when they die,they turn back black 3-5 days,they have to be in the ground.So since the Black woman brought them in, shouldn’t they take them out? We brought you into existence. Ya’ll don’t hear me. The Black woman everywhere else is worshipped as the creator,somethings wrong when Blacks worship a white man as anything but Set or the step child they are. Purely Evil.That’s why those soulless creatures don’t return home, they wander the earth.They can’t live for the afterlife they have to do it all right here, that’s why they love death even in death they don’t get relief. No afterlife for the wicked. Karma is going to be a mother for them look at all the people that despise them. Babylon is fallen,lets not let it fall on us. It’s time to leave this evil place as it was in the beginning ,so shall it be in the end. What was it in the beginning just us beautiful people in Africa -Akebu-lan.Blackness will spread out again soon it will be no cursed souls.BLACKNESS is our gift from our creator, a working piece of the creator that puts us in touch with our maker. We made whitey so no connection to the creator for them,indeed they have to go thru us.Creator-creator’s children which means we are the creator on this earth, nothing but Negas pronounced NIGGERS.
The words to describe the white mutant albino accomplishments to this date, THEY STOLE IT!!! PEACE 3 EYERS. 2012- war between good the creator the Black Man & Woman & evil the imitators of life, the lepers, the cagots,the most hated white lepers. 2013 will be the year one W.L without LEPERS. They can drop all the bombs we still gonna be here. Now i overstand why they were left to die in So-Called Africa when they were born albino we knew what we were doing. If we leave they are still so barberic that if all black people left they would wage war on themselves it would be white on white crime. In ten years or less they would have wiped their own race out which happens to be a cursed one and good riddence. We have to prepare for the great cleansing it is almost upon us. peace to all 3rd eyers. Because there is but one race of people or should i say gods on this earth, that race has always been in the image of the creator- carbon Blackness. all praises be to us.
