Hi Joseph. That's only partly true: <when all is said and done ..... people are just people, and are the product of their environment [e.g., you hope your children are positively impacted by the Lada experience]> Yes, the Lada experiences give us ideas and facts to work with, but people are a LOT more than just blank slates waiting to be imprinted. There are many studies of identical twins to see what effect genes have compared with experiences. I'm sure you have noticed or heard that people without a LOT of melanin in their skin won't be winning Olympic sprints. That doesn't mean getting a sun tan will make you faster, nor that doing genetic engineering for the melanocytes will help either. The reason the melanin-rich win is because there are lots of other genes which they have which others don't, such as in this instance fast twitch muscle fibre which happens to be great for running away from a hippopotamus. Here's an article about Negro sprinters: jonentine.com For some reason, people are okay with the idea that there are genetic differences in sprinting ability, but it is heresy to mention another difference which is genetic and is also not caused by melanin. Suppose Albert Einstein was smarter than me because of his genes, which seems patently obvious [he was a patent clerk]. I don't see why I should be upset about that. Suppose all his offspring are brighter too. Should that upset me or should I deny it and confirm the fact? I'm sure you know that Down syndrome people don't do calculus. That's not because of experiences but because of their genes. news.bbc.co.uk They won't be taking over the human race. Thanks for those articles you linked. It looks as though there must be a lot of Moslems have moved into Denmark and Nederlands and hence the scams. They weren't really enough to do much of a statistical analysis on. You know an Ashkenazi who was dishonest [so you say]. I know a Chinese who is honest [so I claim]. That doesn't mean there is more than one. Mqurice
