Males, on average, have 3 years longer than females before their brains are fully grown. That gives them a big educational advantage, currently turned to a disadvantage because of dopey educational practises. Guess why nearly all of the super-duper scientific whizzoes and general geniuses are males. It's not because of male bigotry, contrary to stupid feminists, it's because nature has selected females to be ready to reproduce 3 years younger, and has forced their full development at a younger age. If this is in fact correct, it suggests that artificially delaying maturity might result in higher intelligence. I assume that this could be easily tested with hormone treatments. I wonder if anyone has tried?

Maurice, in all honesty, no abuse was intended. I was simply making a point that there are blessings and afflictions on all races ... it has nothing to do with the culture or religion... but you obviously missed the point... the argument about the Egyptian professor was to substantiate that Muslims as part of whatever race, do produce geniuses... now if you choose to confuse the issue by mixing where he excelled and where he got his education... that is your prerogative... you are mixing or confusing the issues of culture and/or religion with race... and I am glad you recognize nutritional effects on the development of a person's intelligence... another fact substantiating that it's not race that determines intelligence, but rather developmental effects... listen Maurice, at the end, it does not really matter... you choose to believe or accept some racist supremacy theories and I don't ... and that's it really, so let's agree to disagree. OK regards AV
