<Shouldn't superiority be reflected in the population? What's with this intermarriage stuff? >

Not sure what you mean, but average superiority is indeed relected in the population. Check out average superiority in intelligence for example: lagriffedulion.f2s.com

Intermarriage/miscegenation mixes DNA. What's the question about? I suppose you mean something. Please explain as I don't understand.

Negroes are superior on average in melanoma resistance so it's a waste of time starting a melanoma business in Rwanda. Australia and New Zealand are inferior to Rwanda in sun-resistance and large profits are being made in the melanoma business.

Indians are also very good at sun resistance. There wouldn't be much melanoma in Cochin.

<On a broader issue, why does this happen to those populations with educated women? What kind of idiotic darwinism is this? The more educated and richer populations have fewer children while the less educated and poorer populations have more children.

Explain that.

Okay. I have got male answer syndrome so have a ready answer, which I'll now invent.

You are making the common mistake of confusing "educated" with desirable from an evolutionary point of view. There is a lot more to being human than being "educated" and/or intelligent. Love of children is another attribute. There is a lot of instinct in humans.

Nature is interested in DNA, not education. Education is just a means to an end. If education doesn't lead to winning DNA, then it's an evolutionary dead-end.

I think education is child abuse [in the form in which it's usually practised] so it's not surprising if it leads to evolutionary failure.

But there's more to intelligence than education. The educated are those prepared to subject themselves to such a system. That might indicate that they are unfit for reproduction. Those more defiant of education perhaps have better DNA.

Anyway, the Flynn Effect suggests that it's an incorrect myth that the unintelligent are preferentially breeding. It's conventional wisdom, but wrong.

Intelligence is sexually-selected. Women say they like intelligence. If we take them at their word, they are no doubt conducting an enormous eugenics genocide against the unintelligent male suitors by rejecting their amorous advances.

If women weren't so discriminating, racist, genocidal and bent on eugenics, they would mate with any male who offered their services. They don't! Well, a very few work as prostitutes, but they use contraception and usually infection protection and I'm sure they still reject some poor blokes who are beyond the pale whose money isn't good enough.

You are so lucky to get all these free answers. I should charge a consultancy fee.
