Study: Do pigmentation and the melanocortin system modulate aggression and sexuality in humans as they do in other animals?
In 40 species of wild vertebrates, darker pigmented individuals are more aggressive and sexually active.
Cross fostering studies and pharmacological dose manipulations establish the role of the melatonin system.
We review the human literature within and between populations and find similar relationships with pigmentation.
Darker individuals average higher levels of crime, sexual activity including HIV/AIDS, and lower IQ.
I’m afraid the color of your skin IS the content of your character. #UglyTruthOfTheDay
*Note that the relationship between skin darkness and various traits deleterious to civilized society exist within races as well as between races. A darker skinned asian would be dumber, more criminally impulsive than a lighter skinned asian, for example. But the dumbness/criminality association with skin darkness has to be normed to each racial group’s average propensity, which means that lighter skinned populations will in general be less antisocial than will darker skinned populations.

Ask the Italians if that holds true for Sicilians and a Milano.

There is sicilian and sicilian (in Sicily too).
You can find the workaholic entrepreneur (like Stefano Dolce of Dolce &Gabbana), and the lazy one (often in public offices), and the cunning one.
Of course, you find less lazy ones and cunning ones among the locals, but locals are a smaller and smaller part of Milano. Hearng local dialect in a local bar is rare. (and believe me, entering a bar, and hearing/speaking local dialect is heartwarming).

I love Rushton, and the premise is obvious as a motherfucker… but this a fairly sloppy meta-analysis and I don’t see him even attempt a convincing theory that this an effect at the melancortin system level. It is more likely a side effect of what happens when Men choose (they like lighter skin females who aren’t cunts… race melds that direction) vs when Women choose (they like men darker than them who are aggressive… race moves that direction), and various gradations in between. There are many different alleles at play, many different systems. I’m not moved by the melanocortin theory.

Yeah, it sounds good and even ties into anecdotally-derived expectations, but what about the pale-as-fuck and aggressive-as-fuck Vikings, Vandals, Goths, and even, to an extent, the Greeks?

Agreed. It is just a side effect but still useful in assessing what is generally going to be the overall mental ability of a given population. And I think we are mostly just talking about the ability to understand basic reasoning at the higher ends of the IQ spectrum, the ability to think about abstract concepts and probabilities requires AT LEAST a 110 IQ or higher. That is why we are fucked.

Early 90’s I worked in a blue color trade and the boss hired a Mexican. Javier was light skinned, spoke passable english and was a model employee. Trojan Horse alert! Over the years, he had a ready supply of amigos to join us as the business expanded. While most of them were hard workers, as I think back, the darker skinned ones seemed almost primitive. While Javier looked at you with comprehension and understanding, talking to a few of them was like talking to a goat as they just looked at you with dead eyes.

Our skin, though the largest organ in our body, is just a manifestation of our genome/genetics (but, it is good that God color-coded the non-whites for us). Non-Caucasians possess a genome that is not fully human as is possessed by us whiteys. Thus, they are not in the case of niggers (a sub-human anthropoid), human, or in the case of browns, reds, yellows, fully human. God does make mistakes, and we do live in an evil fallen world. Demons are not necessarily just beings that exist on a spiritual/ethereal plane.

Proof that there is no god is that niggers were created and not wiped out as a horrible mistake.

I am doubtful that pigmentation itself is a bio chemical cause, rather than a correlation with other “tropical genes” from a population evolved from thousands of generations of easy living where bad personality traits don’t get weeded out by mother nature or Sumerian Kings chopping the heads off of the dim wit thugs, wild men, and psychopaths.

The paper is from 2012. Any valid evidence based refutations of the conclusion since then?
First paragraph of the conclusion:
“We have found, in both human and non-human animals, that darker pigmentation is associated with higher levels of aggression and sexuality (and in humans with lower IQ). Lighter pigmentation is associated with the slow reproductive strategy (K) including lower birth rates, less infant mortality, less violent crime, less HIV/AIDS, plus higher IQ, higher income, and greater longevity.”
