Does race play a role in Athletic/Intellectual ability?

[Mr Ehrmantraut]

in addition to his money grabbing with this "pop" numbers, pavarotti cemented a legacy as one of the top 5 tenors ever.

boccelli doesn't even qualify to be rated. he's not a tenor. it's not opera.


they set out to do completely different things. pavarotti is a tenor, and sings opera. every now and again pavarotti would do some pop stuff, but he came up in an operatic tradition. he was studying under great singers by the end of his teens.

bocelli is a blind pop singer. he was actually educated as a laywer. if you listen to enough opera, you realize that bocelli is not opera.



unfortunately for caruso, he was dead long before nessun dorma was written.

Hey Mr Snooty, i never said he was.

You may believe this in an ideal world, but what do you have to back up the idea all peoples brains are essentially the same?

Just about every part of a humans anatomy is fairly unique and distinguishable from another. Bone size, structure, facial looks, height, genes, DNA, blood type. People have different athletic abilities, some a natural ability for performing strength tasks others subtly in particular sports.

All these things are also gradually slowly, slightly changing even in decades, i.e. the average human height has grown and is growing etc. That's evolution in subtler forms, and as someone mentioned past forms of the human family were shown to have larger brains.

Different parts of the brain perform different tasks. Why on earth would just the brain be the one thing that's uniformly the same across all 7 billion of us, with the same power and abilities for the numerous different things a brain can perform at?

Sorry that's not very credible. Brains like all the others area's are also different, and like pyscial differences and abilities, some have tendencies to be better at some things like photographic memory, maths, problem solving, rationality, all sorts.

Height difference across decades is more due to better nutrition than it is evolution. The genes are still the same, but more and more are getting the food they need to reach their full potential

Depends on the sport. You won't see many Mexicans, or Latinos for that matter, in the NBA.

They are good at soccer though

NBA and NFL rule out small people because size matters.
