Shedding heat is actually a key to survival.
podcast-host
And so when shedding heat is valuable,
podcast-host
The you know
podcast-host
Long and lanky, greater surface area to less volume is useful because it if you're effectively a radiator.
podcast-host
So you've got two different habitats selecting in opposite directions uh in body form.
podcast-host
And so we don't see Inuits winning marathons because
podcast-host
Marathons s favor exactly the same characteristics that you would find in an Ethiopian, and they disfavor the characteristics of an Inuit.
podcast-host
Anything there you disagree with?
podcast-host
Oh.
podcast-host
Okay.
podcast-host
So then my point would be that with respect to sports
podcast-host
The trade-offs are obvious, right?
podcast-host
If you're going to be uh you know tall, it's gonna come at a cost to your um being robust.
podcast-host
And that we should expect therefore sports to favor different
podcast-host
Populations as I would call them, races as you might call them, and that's exactly what we see in sport.
podcast-host
But cognition is different.
podcast-host
The trade offs that you would need to demonstrate in order to show why populations were not favored for high intelligence, you're gonna have to provide those.
podcast-host
My claim is that
podcast-host
the that intelligence, even the way we measure it and describe it, general intelligence, is general.
podcast-host
It's favorable no matter what your habitat is, no matter what your body form is, no matter what your niche is.
