Is mixing races making us more intelligent?

Posted by James, 08 Jul

Are we evolving as cultures and races mix? According to researchers, YES! Mixing races has a role in our evolution.

According to a study carried out, human beings of today are more intelligent and taller than their predecessors. This has been associated with the rise in genetically diverse individuals. And get this: Individuals born to parents from different ethnicities generally have higher levels of education.

This particular study analyzed genetic information from more than 100 studies conducted previously around the world. The studies were a compilation of genetic details on more than 350,000 individuals; from both rural and urban settings.

The researchers from University of Edinburgh found that greater genetic diversity was associated with tallness, better cognitive skills and higher levels of education in the individuals. However, diversity wasn't linked to things like cholesterol levels or high blood pressure. Evolution seems to be favoring people with height and brains.

Dr Jim Wilson of the University of Edinburgh said: "This study highlights the power of large-scale genetic analyses to uncover fundamental information about our evolutionary history." Dr Peter Joshi added that it answers Dawin's questions on the benefits of genetic diversity.

The more reason to mix it up right? I mean who wouldn't want to make a contribution to a taller and smarter generation?

    Well lets face the truth here. There are some kids from single parent homes with families living in some of the worst communities ending up becoming highly paid professionals in the medical fields, educational fields, science fields, and so forth and so on. I think it has only a little to do with genetics. However, Statistics shows that children born in communities where there is a greater focus on higher learning has a better chance of becoming a student that will do well in middle/high school and continue on to a university. Change the environment for the better and you will change a group of people! Place 10 kids each in a broken home, with a mother working two jobs and little time for the child and by the end of their scheduled senior year, I wonder how of them will graduate. Nothing to do with the mixing of the races.

    This is kind of a huge "Duh".. Most alloys are stronger and better than their composite metals Cross-culture rearing makes for brighter and more open-minded adults and societies.

    Honestly, I have no idea why millions of people equate the color of ones skin to race. Being black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Indian, or whatever is ones ethnic background. Our race is Human; and as far as we know, it's the only race anyone can be. So we aren't race mixing at all.

    for sure yes, genetic diversity makes people physiologically and socially broad minded. On contrast, in-breeding leads to disease, deformity, mental issues and fascism.

    The DNA specialist told me the same thing. She said since my child was mixed race that usually were healthier because of the different backgrounds alot of diseases or illnesses "pure" black kids/white kids got she would most likely not get bc our genes were so diverse. Well something like that she broke the statics down and gave examples etc. Sickle cell, some cancers, Huntington's.

Coaching Testimonial

"My online love inspiration angel"

Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21

To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.

I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.

BOY WAS I WRONG!!

I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).

She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.

She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".
