ShakurM:You are correct. How is your biomedical engineering going anyway? Does it involve regenerative medicine? I was at a seminar at my work place where the speaker talked about regenerative medicine and the talk pushed me into going back to school. I ended up in the professor's school but funny enough, I'm not even doing the regenerative medicine, but pharmacology (pharmaceutical industry always draws me in). But I meet a lot of biomedical engineering people and it seems like fun. |
ileobatojo:We have been vindicated! The serpentine cobra spat first. |
AlphaDibia:Why is it fundamentally wrong? Researchers found a specific trait is on the X chromosome and you say it's wrong. I don't get it. Do you have research to prove otherwise? |
AlphaDibia:How? |
AlphaDibia:That is why I posted the results. Because I have access to it. |
AlphaDibia:The second article was released Feb 25, 2014. Besides my references are authentic scientific research journals. |
Brilliant topic! I've looked into some research papers, and the papers point to intelligence being X-linked and on chromosome 7. When we say X-linked traits, it means boys would definitely get that trait from their mother, because the mother would donate the X while the father the Y. For girls (XX), you get one X from the father and the other X from the mother. But one of the X's in girls would have to be inactivated, I don't think research has been able to identify which X would be inactivated. Don't know if you guys have access to these links http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1016917/pdf/jmedgene00032-0071a.pdf http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.go.libproxy.wakehealth.edu/pmc/articles/PMC3933868/ A systems biology approach to identify intelligence quotient score-related genomic regions, and pathways relevant to potential therapeutic treatments. Zhao M1, Kong L1, Qu H2. Author information Abstract Although the intelligence quotient (IQ) is the most popular intelligence test in the world, little is known about the underlying biological mechanisms that lead to the differences in human. To improve our understanding of cognitive processes and identify potential biomarkers, we conducted a comprehensive investigation of 158 IQ-related genes selected from the literature. A genomic distribution analysis demonstrated that IQ-related genes were enriched in seven regions of chromosome 7 and the X chromosome. In addition, these genes were enriched in target lists of seven transcription factors and sixteen microRNAs. Using a network-based approach, we further reconstructed an IQ-related pathway from known human pathway interaction data. Based on this reconstructed pathway, we incorporated enriched drugs and described the importance of dopamine and norepinephrine systems in IQ-related biological process. These findings not only reveal several testable genes and processes related to IQ scores, but also have potential therapeutic implications for IQ-related mental disorders. Results IQ-related genes are enriched in multiple regions of chromosomes 7 and X To address the genetic complexity of IQ score, we developed IQdb (http://iqdb.cbi.pku.edu.cn.go.libproxy.wakehealth.edu), a publicly available database for exploring IQ-associated human genes7. In IQdb, 158 experimentally verified genes from the literature serve as the core dataset, among which approximately 16% of the IQ-related genes are located on X chromosome. It is reported that only 3.4% of all human genes belong to X chromosome . The obvious contrast may indicate that the IQ-related genes are over-represented on X chromosome. To clarify in more detailed which genomic regions contain greater numbers of IQ-related genes, we adopted a hypergeometric test based on the gene content of each cytoband on the human genome. The further enrichment analysis identified 10 genomic regions with significantly larger amount of IQ-related genes. Among 10 regions, 4 belong to X chromosome, including Xp, Xq, Xq28, and Xp11. A previous gene expression study showed that the genes on X chromosome are more likely to express in brain regions and reproductive tissues13. Our results may be consistent with the idea that genes on X chromosome may be associated with the quantitative IQ score12. Since X chromosome is important to sexual differentiation, the enrichment of IQ-related genes on X chromosome may provide an incentive to explore differences in the IQ scores between the sexes14,15. Previous studies have identified 46 genomic regions involved in IQ using a linkage approach7. Though none of these regions are located on X chromosome, six of them are from chromosome 7 in humans (13.04%). Among the ten genomic regions with enriched IQ-related genes, six are not on X chromosome, including 7q, 7q11, 7q31, 8p12, 15q14, and17p13. Except for 8p1216, none of these genomic regions overlap with the genomic regions in the prior linkage studies. Three of six regions are from chromosome 7, accounting for 8.86% of the 158 IQ-related genes (Table 1). One previous study showed that 7q31–36 may be linked to verbal IQ based on 361 Australian and Dutch twins17. Our results may uncover complementary roles of the genes on chromosome 7 in general intelligence. |

alutacontinua:Rotflmao! They are the ugliest too. |
coogar:Pele o, if not for thanksgiving break I would be going by my business tomorrow. |
coogar:Lolllllll, Coogar show me your pic abeg. Make I know who I dey talk to? All these my typing must not waste o. |
okzcorp:Core element ko, curry ni. I knew someone will fall for the bait. ![]() The power is our hands to eliminate or preserve the human species. Female animals can produce offspring without the need of sp.erm. That is how you get cloned animals. It is for ethical reasons they haven't tried it on humans. If the science improves women might not be needing men after all. If feminazis need to go renegade one more time, this is a perfect cause to pursue. ![]() As I said we are pitying you, hence the 'equality' stance. |
Chillisauce: ![]() It all makes sense now. Before I reply any man here, I should be asking for their pics, for real! All these grammar wey person done waste all these years, chai!!!!!!!!!!! See the kain people I dey talk to? God have mercy! |
carefreewannabe:Classic, reverberating post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it because we are pitying them by preaching equality? ![]() For the preservation and continuation of the human race the female is the superior species! |
Sophyrocks:Bloody hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
KanwuliaJara:I thought I was alone in this fight. I made one comment one time in the link below, Fulaman wanted to cut off my head. ![]() https://www.nairaland.com/1853487/love-eastern-european-wife-she/11#25524045 I have studied this people very well. Please continue to spread the GOOD NEWS. Every black woman must know who she is dealing with. |
KanwuliaJara: ![]() I missed a lot of quality posts for real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lemme go and start from page 3 abeg! |
KanwuliaJara:Buhahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ![]() |
KanwuliaJara:It is history repeating itself. The black male rarely thinks about his future, he is interested in immediate gratification. That video...no words! ![]() |
coogar: So even the creme de la creme of White females refuse to have anything to do with black males too? You are left with the left overs! God of mercy! See how you kick yourself in the bumbum! ![]() I find it absurd you cite educational background as a factor but would suddenly forget that this argument is better suited and works in favor black male/black female relationship in America. Black females in America are more educated than their men. If the socalled educational disparity cannot work between black male/white female relationship, why on earth should it work between black male/black female citing the 'hypergamous' traits all women are entitled to exhibit? ![]() I posted two links. One where I took the pic and another link showing the actual research. One of the points in the summary . The influence of gender, specifically the elevated divorce rates for White female interracial marriages, highlights important aspects of what makes interracial marriage socially distinctive. We consider two explanations. First, differences in divorce probabilities may be linked to the differences in the incidence of intermarriage. Since the 1960s, NH Black men have married White women more often than NH Black women have married White men, which suggests that the intermarriage barriers for NH Black women are greater than those facing NH Black men. Therefore, NH Black women and White men who choose to intermarry may be selective of an especially high degree of commitment to their relationship that reduces the potential for divorce. This is beyond the scope of the data at hand but should be investigated in future research. Despite the numerous barriers facing black women/ white male compared to black male/white female, BW/WM riseeeeeeeeeeeeee above such barriers to preserve their relationships. Bloody hell we need a medal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ![]() |
KanwuliaJara:Wow I missed a lot of quality posts. About protection, do you know that when the Whites arrived our unemasculated African men willingly gave up African women as gifts to suit the loins of the invaders? Africa was known as the sexu..al destination for the colonialists to engage in animalistic se.x spearheaded by the wise, ageless unemasculated wisdom of our men. Meanwhile these same colonialists had set up policies to protect their women from the django unchained menace of the black male. Our own dashed us out like the way Esau gave up his birthright for a plate of porridge! ![]() |
[quote author=Sagamite post=28338211]In Nigeria, we used to call it "Shakara".[/quote Sagabobo, call it shakara or whatever. It is a defensive mechanism that every black woman MUST adopt otherwise she will be sure to be left with little bastards to cater for! Growing up, I frowned my face well wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, like an arrogant boss! ![]() Those who were not firm in their shakara, have to deal with little rascals to cater for ALONE. It was highly, highly important to do so as a teenager. As a grown up, my pristine words are my weapon! The hypersexuality of the black man cannot be curtailed. He is on permanent HEAT! Every black woman should be careful before he gives you baggage to carry. The race is in serious trouble because of the little rascals unleashed into the society without fathers! I will not be part of that statistic! ![]() |
coogar:Governmental policies and how accessible one is to education spearhead the knowledge of the public on the use of contraceptives and other health requirements. In a country like Nigeria that is obviously run by the 'unemasculated' men, how come it has not gotten into their thick skulls to create public awareness on contraceptives to alleviate problems that stem from black men's hypersexual, Can you explain to me why the divorce rate between black men/white women are twice as likely to end up in divorce? ![]() This pic places it at 200% more likely to divorce. Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ![]() [img]http://thoughtcatalog.files./2014/05/divorce.jpg?w=584&h=358[/img] http://thoughtcatalog.com/jim-goad/2014/05/2-cute-handy-charts-on-interracial-marriage-divorce/ http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1741-3729.2008.00491.x/pdf NH Black husband/White wife marriages were twice as likely to divorce as White/White couples, and NH Asian husband/ White wife couples were 59% more likely, according to Model II. Highlighting the role of gender in interracial dynamics, the reverse combinations actually showed a lower or similar risk of divorce. White husband/NH Black wife couples were 44% less likely to divorce than White/White couples, and White husband/NH Asian wife couples were only 4% more likely to divorce by Year 10 |
pickabeau1:I have to answer this time around o, cos people think when you ignore your posts you dunno what to say. I don't have energy to fight people, I'm a quintessential 'non-angry' black woman o. ![]() |
coogar:Buhahaha, is the black man more hypersexual than other races? |
coogar:Many black lesbians have something in common, being raped by black men as children. And no I don't applaud their violence, but for a category of men that gets erecti..ons from asserting his authority over women and making it a life mission to demand women respect him and kiss his black nyansh, he had better show that same power to the outside world, otherwise he is a coward, a weakling, a sloppy second, rotflmao! We are alpha females and we would take no less!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You had better walk the walk and talk the talk! ![]() |
pickabeau1:Pickabeau I hope you won't bruise like a peach by my replying you, because I notice it's only coogar that I can have a discussion with on NL. I'm not the first. Kanwulia did. ![]() Disclaimer: I will not be talking in individual sense, but as a collective entity. Nobody should begin to say I'm not like this bla bla. I'm not even an angry person, but in the collective sense black women are highly expressive to put it lightly. ![]() Anyway, about family... in the polygamous sense the black man is about family not monogamous sense. The babymama culture in the US is an offshoot of polygamy. What changed? Shunning familial responsibilities stems from the fact that we don't live in communal settings with laws and customs that would have restricted black men from littering the world with little bastards. In the past when you impregnate a girl, you married her. |
coogar:Oh yeah blame the white man! ![]() While the white man was taking out able bodied men overseas for 'labor', your village chief was selling you guys for a mirror and seaman aromatic schnapps. Today schnapps is part of the bride price list and we shout it's our culture . Is the white man more intelligent than the black man?So after highlighting all these, black leaders will still bow down to their superiors. What then is the usefulness of the so called unemasculated African man? He can't fight and create policies to favor his people but obeys his masters willingly? Is it only near a black woman he wants to show authority? How can a black woman respect that? People here have admitted the anger of the black woman, now everyone should accept the cause of the anger which is the black man. ![]() |
White women train their sons to be gentlemen, African women train their sons to be brutes. African women should learn. All these preferential treatment to sons will not help them when they marry your fellow woman. Hence the anger. ![]() It's not as if the black man has been able to build a sustaining civilization with such preferential treatment. He is the laughing stock of the world at the moment...most likely to be shot dead on the streets. Kanwulia, wey that your fence jumping video... |
About the emasculation of the black man I see coming up all the time, can someone explain what that even means? Because one would think from the African eye of course, white men have been 'emasculated' but still able to build a civilization and hold the world down. While the 'unemasculated' African men can't maintain a civilization that their women can enjoy. |
