How about we try going at it with this approach: what attributes are we born with, and how would these attributes change our tendency towards crime, creativity or intellectual pursuits?
Here's a few attributes to consider:
1. Hormone levels: testosterone and estrogen
2. Skin pigmentation: melanin
3. IQ
Your most recent post seems to discount IQ but you were quite intent on it during your first reply, when you tried to disprove a strawman argument against me.
What if I said higher testosterone levels increases sexuality and aggression? You with me on that? Now what if I said melanin did the same?
Melanotan II is a peptide that bodybuilders use to help them tan. It works by stimulating the release of melanin from the skin. It is also increases sexual function.

Do you see where I'm going with this? Do you see the recipe for disaster? Aggression and sexual drive are absolutely huge variables when it comes to criminal activity. Do you agree with this statement?
Before I address this further, I want to allow you to reassess your arguments.
1. I need better sources than "science direct" and "wikipedia" like dude. Have you ever done research before?
2. In my first point I said, " I also don't believe that you truly understand how questionable IQ tests are. According to data, in 1900 the average American had an IQ of 70 which is equivalent to mental retardation. It's gone up substantially due to the Flynn Effect (which I'll let you research on your own)." I just repeated my point again in the second edition.
Luckily for me, Im in a Human Anatomy course in which we just discussed melanin and melanocytes so I'll be back with a more detailed scientific explanation soon! I just feel like these are major lessons you need to learn considering debate.
I appreciate your generosity and look forward to your more detailed, scientific explanation on melanin. I'm trying to think of an approach where we can actually engage in a debate and not simply try to lecture each other while trying to be as condescending as possible.
I propose we answer one question of the other's and then ask one of our own. No side-stepping, we'd each give honest replies addressing the question to the best of our ability. Since I proposed it, I'll go first:

Is it normal to think civilization lags in South America and Africa?

How often do you need to repeat yourself?
