Document Summary
Social setting in which person is raised and educated has big impact on iq nothing to do with biology. No one identified genes for general athletic superiority. Certain social conditions that lead to high levels of participation in sports: operate on all groups of people, people who face prejudice = enter professional sports in large numbers for lack of other ways to improve standing. Prejudice attitude that judges person on his/her group"s real/imagined characteristics. Discrimination unfair treatment of people because of their group membership. Impossible to neatly distinguish races based on genetic differences: we all belong to one human race, originated in africa subsequent migration, geographical separation, inbreeding led to formation of more/less. Race as analytical tool to the degree people who use the term refer to socially significant physical differences (skin colour) rather than biological differences that shape behaviour patterns.
