[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Which assumes that "Intelligence must be primarily genetically based", but provides no proof. [/ QUOTE ] This is obviously true. Do you see why? [/ QUOTE ] Is there an accurate way of measuring intelligence? No Have scientists proved the existence of genes responsible for intelligence? No Do I see why? No [/ QUOTE ] How exactly did intelligence evolve if there are no genes governing it? [/ QUOTE ] I don't doubt that genes play some role in determining a persons intelligence. I do however doubt that intelligence is the only or even primary factor (ESPECIALLY considering why two asked, answered questions from me, that you quoted above).

However, if intelligence is not genetically based, why can't I have a conversation with my cat? [/ QUOTE ] This is so much better than the way I put it. I do try have conversations with my cat though. He just hasn't found anything I've said interesting enough to respond to yet. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

But REAL science like biology and genetics? Ha! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I understand that strictly speaking, concluding the premise is a logical fallacy. However, if intelligence is not genetically based, why can't I have a conversation with my cat? [/ QUOTE ] You can't have a conversation with a Zulu tribesman either. What does this prove? Also, I never said intelligence was not genetically based. Re-read my original statement.

[/ QUOTE ] The reason people are arguing with you is because you said that Watson talks about intelligence having a genetic basis without ever proving it. The point we are trying to make to you is that it is so self-evidently true that intelligence has some genetic basis that there is no reason for Watson to waste time proving it. If his whole argument depended on intelligence being 100% inheritable then yes, that would have been a grave oversight. But thats not what happened.
