quote:

"Latinos live longer than Caucasians, despite experiencing higher rates of diabetes and other diseases. Scientists refer to this as the 'Hispanic paradox,'" said lead author Steve Horvath, a professor of human genetics at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

quote:

When the scientists examined the DNA from blood-which reveals the health of a person's immune system—they were struck by differences linked to ethnicity. In particular, the scientists noticed that, after accounting for differences in cell composition, the blood of Latinos and the Tsimane aged more slowly than other groups.

quote:

the biological clock measured Latino women's age as 2.4 years younger than non-Latino women of the same age after menopause.

quote:

The Tsimane aged even more slowly than Latinos. The biological clock calculated the age of their blood as two years younger than Latinos and four years younger than Caucasians.

Well, there you have it. Scientific proof white people age like milk.

This is racist as gently caress there are literally z e r o differences between the races and there's no statistical evidence to show that one group performs better than another group in any field at all.

^^^ well, there might be, but it's not exactly the easiest thing to test for considering there are obvious, very very strong confounding variables

also, there's no obvious reason why natural selection for intelligence would vary greatly in strength depending on the environment, especially over the fairly short time scales involved (intelligence is affected by a lot of different loci of small effect so the time to fixation for an intelligence-enhancing allele might be pretty long, and human coalescence times are pretty short)

some of them believe in a modified version of the big bang. it's russell humphreys' "white hole" cosmology, according to which god stretched the heavens and left the earth (which is at the center of the universe) in the middle of a big magical gravity well. this supposedly allows the universe to be super old but the earth to be 6000 years old.

this predicts that light from stars should be blue shifted, not red shifted, sooooo

probably also why they looked at tsimane (native american group from bolivia), as a proxy for the non-caucasian component. indeed the effects observed are generally larger in tsimane than in latinos
