It is demonstable that Black people, especially black people who are part of the new world diaspora (ie slave descendents) have higher levels of testosterone. Its also a fact that high levels of testosterone are linked to violent crime ..especially rape.. but also athletic acheivement So Its hardly suprising that black people commit vastly more ,per capita, violent crime espcecially rape butalsodominate athletics. Look at Tiny Jamaica, the fastest men people in the world come from there nbut its violent crime is through the roof.
The most violent places in the world are Southern and Central American countries. Do these inhabitants by chance have higher levels of testosterone than black people? Please consider adding this as a disclaimer whenever you post about "Black violence and testosterone."
We both agree to high rate of criminality among Blacks, a phenomena that has been well known for decades in the US. But it's not testosterone and it's not that simple. Variances are within the statistical norm, and you don't know that age cohort or where they were taken. Too many variables to count with that analysis.
Africa is close on their heels. Well, those of the African countries that actually keep records of anything.
Not really. Honduras, the murder capital of the world, has a murder rate at least twice that of African countries.
Vigilante justice keeps violent crimes down, so I doubt record keeping has anything to do with the numbers.
Some of these places are pretty isolated and won't see the equivalent of a LEO for weeks at a time. I once had a guy tell me about the proper procedure on how to feed a body to a croc. He told me that crocs don't like to eat shoes especially tennis shoes and they had to be removed. You simply don't know what happens out there.
We have cases like that here in this country too. Baby, Jane, & John Does turn up and go missing in the hundreds of thousands every year. Can't really count the crime without the body & investigation *shrug*.
But they're counted here with the knowledge that a certain percentage of them were murdered and that number is not in the hundreds of thousands. In the Jess, there's just nothing. A burial is just as likely to involve leaving them out in the bush for the hyenas. Do you what happens to albino's out there.
The stew and magic, yes I know. That won't stop the vigilantes from eventually putting a stop to it. Anyway, the amount of albinos killed versus those people killed in the Americas is of no comparison whatsoever. Albinos in TZ killed ~170 versus Honduras running through 20 people a day.
so people with big organs are better at sports, but also more violent? guess size does matter.... or someone with a "little" envy is writing the report physically strong people tend to be more violent then physically weak people... is it the strength or the testosterone though .
When the results of scientific studies don’t support my beliefs, I don’t reject the findings, I change my beliefs. What do you do? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2608588/ Racial differences in the androgen/androgen receptor pathway in prostate cancer. Abstract Pathologic and epidemiologic data suggest that while little racial variation exists in prostate cancer prevalence ("autopsy cancer"), striking racial variation exists for the clinically diagnosed form of the disease. A review of the available literature was performed to define whether racial differences in serum androgen levels or qualitative or quantitative differences in the androgen receptor were correlated with prostate cancer incidence or severity. Black men were found to be exposed to higher circulating testosterone levels from birth to about age 35 years. Such differences were not consistently noted among older men. Significant differences also were found for dihydrotestosterone metabolites among black, white, and Asian men. Unique racial genetic polymorphisms were noted for the gene for 5 alpha-reductase type 2 among black and Asian men. Novel androgen receptor mutations recently have been described among Japanese, but not white, men with latent prostate cancer. Finally, androgen receptor gene polymorphisms leading to shorter or longer glutamine and glycine residues in the receptor protein are correlated with racial variation in the incidence and severity of prostate cancer. This same polymorphism also could explain racial variation in serum prostate-specific antigen levels. Collectively, these data strongly suggest racial differences within the androgen/androgen receptor pathway not only exist but could be one cause of clinically observed differences in the biology of prostate cancer among racial groups. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/strange-but-true-testosterone-alone-doesnt-cause-violence/ Strange but True: Testosterone Alone Does Not Cause Violence "[Historically,] researchers expected an increase in testosterone levels to inevitably lead to more aggression, and this didn't reliably occur," says Frank McAndrew, a professor of psychology at Knox College in Galesburg, Ill. Indeed, the latest research about testosterone and aggression indicates that there's only a weak connection between the two. And when aggression is more narrowly defined as simple physical violence, the connection all but disappears"What psychologists and psychiatrists say is that testosterone has a facilitative effect on aggression," comments Melvin Konner, an anthropologist at Emory University and author of The Tangled Wing: Biological Constraints on the Human Spirit. "You don't have a push-pull, click-click relationship where you inject testosterone and get aggressiveness." Castration experiments demonstrate that testosterone is necessary for violence, but other research has shown that testosterone is not, on its own, sufficient. In this way, testosterone is less a perpetrator and more an accomplice—one that's sometimes not too far from the scene of the crime. For example: regardless of their gender, the most violent prisoners have higher levels of testosterone than their less violent peers. Yet scientists hypothesize that this violence is just one manifestation of the much more biologically and reproductively salient goal of dominance. Arguably, the weak correlation between testosterone and violence gives us reason to be optimistic about the human race: Whereas other animals battle over mates as a direct result of their seasonal fluctuations in testosterone and other hormones, humans have discovered other ways to establish pecking orders. Which isn't to say that we can't rapidly adapt to the modern-day manifestations of our violent past: McAndrews's work demonstrated that one surefire way to raise a man's testosterone level is to allow him to handle a gun.
Greetings Egalitarian Quacks, I was invited to your sermon by the priest Egalitarianjay02 to argue against your creationist style world view.
Epic non-sequitur, learning disability causes violence, learning disability is directly evidenced from high pubertal testosterone, which blacks genetically suffer from. Higher educated blacks had similar testosterone profiles to whites. Therefore, the census conclusion should be: the reason for high black crime rates, learning disabilities, et al...genetics. Experiments need to be run on pubescent black transgender women taking chemical castration agents for improved black IQ scores.
What a worthless study, this found obese blacks with heart disease only had slightly higher testosterone than whites? Obesity reduces testosterone. What about the non-obese 70IQ violent and dangerous wild zoo-escaped bucks running around the inner city, consistently showing testosterone levels up to 20% higher than the general populace.
