Full quote I guess is this: “Even if it comes from the X chromosome of the father, it gets deactivated." From X chromosome.. What I am saying is - cognitive functions do not come exclusively from sex based chromosome which is just 1 of 23 chromosomes.. Do you think autosomes do not contain...

@Dagne, I think you are still missing the point :) Humans have not just 1 chromosome (the XX or XY one) but 23 of them - one sex based (XX, XY) and 22 autosomal. And genes responsible for IQ are not exclusively located in sex based allosome, but also are present in some or all of 22 others. The...

To sum up. I believe level of IQ is determined by “team” of genes with most important “player” coming from X chromosome. Like goalkeeper in football (the real football, Euro one). If goal keeper is brilliant average team becomes great. If he is nightmare, whole team struggles. Great and poor...

“So you think your intelligence could not have been inherited from your mother's side?” Could, but why would me and my sister (same father mathematician) be more gifted than my brother (different father, not mathematician)? Truth be told we (me and my sister) are also more gifted (in math) than...

Well.. Me and my sister from same father (math guy) have top high IQ. My brother from different father (not math guy) has somewhat lower IQ. Still pretty smart. My wife struggled with math at school, but my son is best in his class and attends math competitions. So, no, father is a factor at...

The historical problem with this is of course that IEs had never one centralized government. But acted as independent clans most of the time. With some cooperation of course now and then.

There was an article I read that they still did those things in Livonia XV or XVI century. Werewolf trials had some materials and witnesses for rites possibly similar to initiation of young men. They were called "Dieva suņi" ("Hounds of God") by locals.

You send your surplus young men to conquer (raid, etc). "Normal" strategy for bronze age. May be hard to feed them otherwise. population size control... Make them someone else's problem.

http://biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/early/2017/03/03/113241.full.pdf Recent ancient DNA studies have revealed that the genetic history of modernEuropeans was shaped by a series of migration and admixture events betweendeeply diverged groups. While these events are well described in Central...

He was actually an American, the very first American of European descent :)

Well, one thing is what you write on forums that you are preferring in short term relationships (which is body of certain type), and other thing is what you are telling to that body to get that short term relationship ;) At least that is what I imagine. Not much experience with short term things...

@Angela, do you have some history with SeanP that made you reply in this way? :) Because he did not say here anything that would contradict what science is saying (i.e. in very crude way - for short term women prefer muscular men, for long term personal qualities)

Yeah, I am strongly Ni. In socionics Ni type of ENTj. Sure, and in socionics I am ENTj. No discussion. Bolded things ring the bell for me ;) I mean, according to socionics that Ne function is a strong function for ENTj s as well. And I would not say that I do not value it. I enjoy it :)...

In socionics I am ENTj without doubt. Socionics ENTp is not exactly me. In MBTI tests say ENTp. But both ENTp and ENTj descriptions are kind of OKayish, but not 100% me. Myers - Briggs ENTj description sounds a bit like Socionics ESTp. Commander vs Marshall. (Socionics name ENTj...
