First question is whether the facts h=ve any significance. Second is what is the explanation. Answer to the first is that they don't. They have no scientific int=rest, and they tell us nothing about how to deal with Tom Jones — =ho is who is he, and not the mean of some group to which we assign him. =A0

As for explanation, the likelihood I =hink is what I outlined, say the likely different outcomes for a kid like me and a counterpart in a family in Philly that is part of a gr=up that for 400 years had a chance for about 2 or 3 decades to enter mains=ream society, and then with the constant legacy of miserable racism. =There were a few families that escaped the legacy — Thurgood Marshall, Condoleezza Rice, etc. =But it's not surprising under the circumstances that few did. =AO And simply as a matter of biology, the capacities involved are so deepl= embedded that it would be quite surprising if an evolutionarily brief period that has produced only superficial changes would have affecte= them.

But in any event, I don't see=the importance (except on ugly assumptions), any more than it would be important to show that tall people with blue eyes on average do better (or=worse) in answering questions on tests.

But for later discussion.</=>
