I agree. Conceding that JF may actually have a good deal of intelligence to allow him to systemise in the domain of biology, that doesn't necessarily - despite the aspirations of many an autist - necessarily enhance the validity of his arguments.
As much as people rightfully shit on MPC, I think Pleasureman's essay on this topic (forgive the irony of responding to a critique of the use of word salads with a link to an essay) hits the nail on the head regarding the neuroses of people like JF on both the left and the right.
Pertinent extract here:
He doesn't quite get how the study of human evolution works. 40k years of isolation isn't enough time to really cause the differences that he suggests are there between different races. Evolution works on the scale of millions, one small micro-evolutionary change doesn't cause what he suggests. I might actually look into the stats he usually puts out for race realism, but honestly the stats are from alternatehypothesis.com. I expect that their data is skewed to prove their point, maybe cherry-picked.
At the end of the day the big picture of human evolution has a lot of movement and gene flow between groups, so it just seems like its a lot more complicated than what he suggests.
