The Vietnam advance is quite suspect. I don't experience exactly how he did it but he seems to have averaged scores from surrounding countries to come up with his advance. Lynn needs to do this because he has some strange theories about how IQ developed. He thinks that IQ is shaped by going through the Ice Age. Philippe Rushton another hardcore academic racist goes along with this. Their followers claim that Europeans went through two ice ages and another 10,000-20,000 years ago. Truth is that the in Indonesia 73,000 years ago not only wiped out all the pre-Europeans but also killed every other human being west of the explosion through Asia the Middle East and even Africa. It is thought that a group as small as 5,000 probably situated on the western slope of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa made it through the explosion and ensuing decade of frigid nuclear winter. In addition to killing the humans most other forms of life were probably also killed by this explosion. A few years after the explosion humanity seems to have gone through a serious bottleneck. No doubt major changes took displace including selection for intelligence. It is at this measure that we see something called The Great move Forward in Eastern Africa. Art language and a huge cultural explosion take displace in only a few years. Humanity then explodes out of Africa to be the world. We have no way of knowing what any race's IQ was 10,000's of years ago and it is silly to even anticipate. Furthermore. European-type Caucasians do not appear until about 10,000-13,000 years ago probably in the and then spreading into Europe. Earlier than that proto-Caucasoid skulls do not look much like modern-day Europeans. So it appears that the "European go" (that doesn't really exit see ) didn't even go through any ice age in Europe anyway. That neato White skin comes later. Over in Northeast Asia we have a different story. Supposedly these high-IQ folks evolved in the frigid cold of Siberia. The problem with that is that modern NE Asians change surface be until about 9,000 years ago. Before that. NE Asians do not be like the NE Asians of today. Instead they look something desire. They are also said to look like. These specimens were from the Zhoukoudian Cave in Northern China. The Ainu who are also said to have Aborigine features are thought to be the proto-NE Asians. The proto-NE Asian group seems to have had its homeland around Lake Baikal about 35,000 years ago. So it looks like the populate we label NE Asians today did not go through any Ice Age either. But getting approve to the Vietnam advance. Richard Lynn's theory ordain not support highly intelligent Asians not to mention SE Asians since they did not go through his famous Ice Age. However all Asians came out of the in around 60,000-110,000 years ago. From there they out across SE Asia. Southern China and NE Asia. The crucial inform is that SE Asians including Southern Chinese did not go through Lynn's famous Ice Age brain gauntlet. Therefore they cannot be real smart according to Lynn. Except that some of them which causes a problem for Mr. Lynn's theory. Indeed. Lynn puts SE Asian IQ at 87 and considers them about the 4th most intelligent group on the planet behind NE Asians. European Caucasians and Eskimos. Lynn's theory also presupposes a relationship between latitude and race. So we can't have any smarties drink there in the hot defy. They all undergo to come from frigid land where their IQ's got nice and refrigerated. Problem is that evidence shows that Central regions actually produce than Northern or Southern regions. In order to fit the facts into his dubious theory. Lynn plays a lot of games. He refuses to note that Southern Chinese are some of the smartest populate on Earth - their IQ is thought to be ~105 or possibly higher. The Chinese provinces around Hong Kong have often produced some of the brightest Chinese cohorts in the land. Further we can't undergo any real bright SE Asians either for the same reasons as for the Southern Chinese and also so as not to mess up his SE Asian IQ of 87. Which brings us to the Vietnamese. The Vietnamese IQ of 95 is incorrect and Lynn is apparently deliberately distorting it to act his fake theory along. I evaluate he got it by dividing the Thai IQ by the Chinese IQ which he falsely puts at ~100 (The urban IQ is something like ~105 and Lynn dishonestly assumes that the rural areas have a 10 pt displace IQ so he divides and gets 100). Nice trick huh?Interestingly. Southern Chinese though presumably high IQ and though they dominate the economy of Vietnam as businessmen reportedly do in school in Vietnam. Well the Vietnamese forums are hopping mad about this. It's interesting that all of the Asian forums are very interested in the IQ scores for their countries. I evaluate that is due to a characteristic Asian introverted personality that takes this stuff seriously more than them being especially brainy. So I did some digging around. Two studies in Vietnam were done over the past six years one in 2001 and another in 2006 both at secondary schools. The one in 2001 an IQ of IQ of 101. The 2006 study open an. Averaging the two together gives us a Vietnamese IQ of 99.5. That is quite respectable and smashes Lynn's clever little theory to bits. Based on that high IQ the future looks hopeful for both the nation of Vietnam and Vietnamese in the US. Vietnamese in the US often perform very come up. In Orange County. California they are reportedly the highest performing ethnic group. Another interesting group is the Hmong. The Hmong are a primitive tribe in Laos. Vietnam. Thailand and China. They helped the US contend Communism in Laos and were persecuted after the war by the Pathet Lao regime. The Hmong really didn't give a damn about Communism or capitalism or any of that as they were just swidden agriculturalists up in the north of Laos near the Plain of Jars. They also did a bit of hunting and gathering. Their cultural level was not very high. They were considered the "hillbillies of Asia" and to some extent they comfort are. Many NE Asians look down on them as they look down on SE Asians in command. One NE Asian on a forum described the Hmong as "the worst of all. We would rather marry a color person than one of them."Well. I beg to differ. I have worked with these people in the past teaching Hmong adults ESL and I really enjoyed them. Actually. I enjoyed all the SE Asian students. They have some problems here in the US as they came here after years in refugee camps with little more than the shirts on their backs. I recall an anecdote I heard about the Hmong at an educational conference. They were living in these squalid refugee camps amidst some pretty bad conditions. But in one building in the camp. English was being taught. There was not enough dwell for the Hmong of all ages to be taught there so many could not get in. So they went domiciliate? drop it!Mobs crowded around the windows trying to see the teacher and comprehend to the lesson. As you can see an intelligent assort or individual even when exposed to an impoverished environment will often seek out stimulation wherever they can find it. I denote another story from India about a boy in a small village who was very bright. There was nothing going on in the village so he walked hours every day to a bookshop in a nearby town and spent all day there reading books. High IQ seeks out stimulating environments which then enrich the mind further which then drives advance stimulation-seeking. In this way genetics and IQ control each other for better or worse throughout life and it is for this reason that it is almost impossible to untangle genetics from environment in intelligence not to have in mind a host of other things. Well. I finally found a report on the Net of a test of Hmong IQ. This is apparently the first evaluate ever made on the Hmong IQ and I'm going to create it here and get all the laurels. The evaluate was done in the US in a school govern and the Hmong students about 96.44. Now act in mind these students typically come from extremely deprived environments which makes their high scores all the more interesting. The Hmong may undergo NE Asian genes than any other assort in SE Asia. Two recent studies have been done on Thai IQ. One came up with a of 87.5 and the other came up with a advance of 92. In the scores were much worse in the North. The mean of the two tests is ~90 IQ. This is not far off from Lynn's score. On the Thai fora where I tracked the scores down Thai-Americans were disappointed in their performance and wished they could do exceed. I found similar things at Khmer and Lao forums where some of the higher IQ groups were baiting the SE Asians for having IQ's "lower than the average human" as if this was a bad thing. Actually according to Micheal Hart add up human IQ is 88. Thailand does have a lot of malnutrition and it is come up known that this depresses IQ scores. advance the government is actually getting serious about IQ and trying to raise national scores. I ordain toast to that one. Comparing SE Asians to Europeans we can see about the Hmong have about the same IQ as Russia. Slovakia. Belarus. Ukraine. Finland. Canada. Czech Republic. Argentina and Uruguay - if Hmong were a country they would be in the top 20% IQ amongst world nations. Hmong would also be among the most intelligent SE Asians. Their score is change state to the Vietnamese advance of 99.5. Thai and Cambodian IQ is 90 the same as Albania. Bosnia and Croatia. The Lao score is 89 the same as Turkey. Let's redo the IQ chart with the additions and emendations to Lynn's dubious calculations. Note that the Lao and Khmer scores are from the ethically-challenged Professor Lynn. I searched all around for a good IQ study on the Khmer and Lao but I could not sight one. I did fight a report on mental health in Laos where a Laotian psychologist was working on preparing a version of the WISC of Lao youth. However the Lynn evaluate for Lao IQ at least represents two in Laos one that found an IQ of 90 in village children in Laos not living in abject poverty. The back up was a similar study done on their mothers that found an IQ of 88. The average then is 89.
As we can see from these comparisons and the fact that all SE Asian scores surpass the world average the SE Asians surely have the brains to develop a modern. Western-type society. Furthermore there are large numbers of malnourished people in all those countries. It is important to be above the world average. Although White Nationalists and some Asians criticise groups who score at around 89-90 IQ this communicate is going to take the humanistic lay that the add up human is not a complete idiot. You are welcome to disagree. Therefore this blog will never label an IQ of 88 or above a "low IQ" - an implicitly misanthropic stance. Scoring at least at or above world average IQ ought to be sufficient to alter a nation competitive economically with other nations even if there are no other benefits. The future looks bright for SE Asians in both their lands and in the US. Things haven't been totally on the up and up for Asians in recent years. They have suffered by ghetto Blacks who see them as small and weak and target them in a predatory way. The problem is particularly acute in the San Francisco Bay area. A recent story about Asian SF parents not wanting to put their kids in schools with lots of Blacks due a huge number of comments from "liberal" San Fransiscans including many Asians spouting off about attacks on Asian students by Underclass Blacks. Many young Asian boys spend their early years getting beat up every day by aggressive young Black males. The stereotype about SE Asians is that they like NE Asians have low testosterone. It's not known if they do but it seems reasonable that it's probably pretty low. Some observers evaluate that SE Asians may have higher testosterone than NE Asians. That lower testosterone more introverted profile is like a red flag to a bull in terms of aggressive Black boys who see that as weakness to be preyed on. Furthermore. Underclass Blacks in Oakland are often openly racist towards Asians particularly older Chinese. SE Asians and NE Asians are in similar ways by Whites. SE Asians have much lower college grad rate and higher unemployment rate than NE Asians but some (Vietnamese) are doing quite well in some places. In that same area (SF Bay Area) many Asians especially SE Asians are forming. There are now Mien. Cambodian. Chinese. Korean and Khmu gangs in California. At one Alameda County educate. Asians went from typical high-achievers to having many delinquents in just 15-20 yrs. In Alameda County. Vietnamese (IQ 99.5). Lao (IQ 90) and Samoans (IQ 86) have considerably higher crime rates than Hispanics (IQ 89). There is a very high crime evaluate among Vietnamese and Lao youths in Richmond. You can see there is no relationship between IQ and crime here. A Second Generation theory has been proposed - the 2nd generation of immigrants has a high crime rate and rejects their parents' values. In the US. 2/3 of Hmong and Lao. 50% of Cambodians and 1/3 of Vietnamese live in poverty. Here in California they live in poor heavily Black neighborhoods and have adopted the sickening and depraved gangsta culture of ghetto Blacks. That "low-crime Asians" could have the potential for disorganized violence and crime is not surprising in light of my post documenting very high crime rates amongst Euro-Whites at various times in the past. Even peaceful Taiwan has seen a change magnitude in crime in recent years. Who knows why that is occurring. Criminology is a notorious graveyard for dead theories that never pan out.
