One of the youngest Doctors in history, cognitive genius, Nobel Prize winner and precursor of genetic research. A group of leftists, graduates of the Higher Gender School, undermines his authority in the field in which he is an expert...

Einstein thought blacks were intellectually inferior, should we disregard the theory of relativity? No, because that would be idiotic. Same with Watson's achievements. Whatever his views his contributions contributed to our understanding of biology, it should not be taken away.

Watson’s view is unsubstantiated and reckless because it is impassible. While sun exposure tans and colours, white people in less sun exposed places are not treated for vitamin deficiency, deep nature of DNA and The Brain is unmicroscopeable and Amen is education said with shaft!

Your headline is misleading, I don’t believe he was stripped of his Nobel prize winner status for his contributions to the discovery of DNA & the double helix. He was stripped of titles from the Univ he worked at - Prof Emeritus etc

So this means that the BellCurve will be removed. It’s about time. Anyone feel like they were cheated because of it? It allowed lazy people to keep up with the ones that busted their a** in school. NoMoreBellCurve

Noogle

There is plenty of evidence suggesting that local human populations evolved different brain functions to meet specific environmental demands. Science should’t be involved in making MORAL judgments...but institutions WILL do this simply to preserve and protect their funding.

So we dumasses trynna prove the greatest biologist of 20th century wrong now?

He said that DNA and IQ are interrelated! It’s a known fact! Get over it.

dont sensationalize this he was only striped of his HONORARY titles at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory so leave the 90 year old man who is a genius among morons who write these articles... alone

“I like black people” Got to just laugh as closet racist always rear their heads eventually. It’s a mindset that has been held for centuries, and he’s rightly been stripped of those titles. There’s no room for racism in this world. LetsLiveInPeaceandUnity

Funny how with no peer reviewed data or real research supporting his claim, it comes down to it being nothing but opinion. So those racists barking 'ITS SCIENCE IDIOT' are wrong, it's not, it's the way he feels. Stop letting your feelings get in the way of logic.

He sold his nobel prize years ago, I'm sure he couldn't care less about what those pseudoscientific ideologues think about him.

Good luck debating science with nobel prize laureate or maybe just forcing opinions onto him

So a Nobel prize winning scientist say something inconsistent with the current orthodoxy and the world ends. Okay.

BO: We're smart enough to keep our Nobel Peace Prize... Jackassery C'MON PEOPLE!

If the news of James Watson being stripped of titles is true then NobelPrize overstepped its jurisdiction. Scientists should be free to articulate their views. Truth is truth even if it's unpalatable to some.

marcialangton We humans are capable of doing terrible things to each other. The impact of the selective breeding of slaves will decline over time as populations interbreed and the gene pool is diluted. The more populations are separated from each other, the longer that will take.

marcialangton In any population there is a range of expressions of the gene pool. His work does not imply that African Americans are all stupid, it simply points out that the distribution has been deliberately skewed by selection pressure. It's a tragedy, but it's not an indictment.

marcialangton The selection criteria rarely included intelligence. It's not unreasonable to suggest that this has had an impact on that characteristic across the population of their descendants, but it is a shattering indictment of the evils of slavery.

MoezMasoud يستاهل

The left denies science whenever it doesn't suit their agenda. They don't see racism regarding Asians being smarter than white people, tho. Hipocrites.

So science is now racist? Facts are racist? I guess 1984 has arrived and is now firmly in place.

After all, the guy is wrong, here are 2 examples, where the blacks founded a civilization based on hierarchy, judiciary, executive and legislative power, etc. Both were famous for trade and large money turnover. 1- Bloods 2- Crips

hes a lucky guy, Giordano Bruno got burned for political incorrectness

truth hurts

Truth hurts

disgusting

Genetics (on average) make East Africans better long-distance runners than Anglo Saxons. Doesn't it stand to reason that different ethnic groups could have (on average) different intelligence levels? There should be no area of science off bounds to legitimate scientific enquiry.

The only other alternative is environment makes black people less intelligent. And when you look at 1 billion Africans you may have a point.

No white people are exist on this earth. Compare your skin with a white colour object. You are a black, brown or pinkish yellow. Do you belong to any other colour?

Stripping of his titles for speaking the truth?

It’s true blacks are predominantly stupider check them out on utube it’s scary

* subjective

Don’t forget that intelligence is subjected ! And , is not to be confused with knowledge ! The greatest intelligence is wisdom ! Einstein will back me on this one !

Perhaps the silly old bugger us confusing genes with intention ! Intention is not intelligence ! Some black races still live in the dark ages ... their lack of sophistication is a choice due to environmental not aptitude .

Crazy ! Once given for achievement it can’t be taken unless he un does his achievement in that area ( impossible ) Posturing I say by those in charge ! Besides .. perhaps that’s he’s honest opinion !

if he is wrong explain Africa......

nobody likes facts anymore...

dimas_______ His head injury has affected his self control. Alot are people are racist/intolerant to people that are different to themselves. People fear difference, Hes old and clearly losing his marbles

There is a greater difficulty explaining the strong correlation between HDI and IQ is SOLELY based on environmental factors. Clearly genes have an important part! At least this bloke had the genes to sell his medal before they could take it back 😂

Jonbbn

Just goes to prove that you can be as smart as all get out; but still be a complete dill!

dimas_______ Because James Watson had his Nobel, his head weight increased.

So let's ignore decades of science that demonstrates intelligence differs across races because 'duversity'.

Oh here we go!

Surely his claim is easy to fact check.

Science is under attack by the Social Justice religion.

Good, he doesn’t deserve the accolade that gives him influence because 1.we know it’s not true! 2. it emboldens the genuinely lower intellects to feel superior an do harm to others.

Striped of the clans “Noble winner” title because he now thinks outside the clans box

What's next? Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama stripped of his titles after suggesting drone strikes killing less people, just making a bit more of collateral damage.

For a White Fella, that was a Petty Dumb thing to say!

Was he stripped of titles because he is wrong? And was he shown the accurate scientific information proving he is wrong? Are there any scientific research on this subject?

Truth is hate speech in this Craven New World Order.

What's next? Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama stripped of his titles suggesting drone strikes killing less people.

Good

Yep he is right - some of the genes currently identified for intelligence are not found in negroid peoples - they are dominated by middle eastern and Anglo peoples - that doesn’t mean there are not other genes associated with intelligence -just what has been found so far

Facts dont care about feelings

If a scientist says it there may be some truth to it, why not do more research on this ?!

Nonsense Fake News & Alternate Universe. I see some very INTELLIGENT black yellow & Red. DOG',s Human's, Birds, Reptiles. Fish & possibly Germs. Color has little to do with intelligence. Ability or many other FACTS of LIFE.

Liberal media in meltdown

Maybe they could give it to Rosalind Franklin instead

Genes do determine your intelligence as even the nurture aspect is at least half from your parents genes, which you share but the ones that determine your pigmentation profile are not connected to those genes. For males the biggest influence is the mother due to the X chromosome.

In a progressive society like Australia we have to admit some racial groups are more intelligent than others. It's an obvious fact that we witness everyday

Proves himself wrong by making stupid analysis. He needs to get out more

If he said “genes make asians smarter”. Would he still have been stripped?

thats incorrect actually hes either purposefully ignoring the african or chinese or indian IQ test and how the average european scores lower on it, IQ tests are cultural awareness tests and of course people from other cultures score lower in a different cultures IQ test OFC...

Yes sir, you may have untangled the Helix, but please, a White Supremacist view from your own privileged little academic world, just shows me you need to get out in the world more often.

JUST FOR TELLING THE TRUTH. WRITEN IN DNA.

Shades of Hans Eysenck

who needs science when you have the religion of far left politics

When is Obomba being stripped of title and incarcerated? Mass murderer.

He was awarded his Nobel for the work of Rosalind Franklin. He probably thinks men are more intelligent than women too

Politics overriding science. No surprise the ABC backs (leftist) politics. bias selltheABC

We are all 99% the same as far as DNA.

What a time to be alive!

One old racist makes claims that are rebuked by the science community and a bunch of jerkoffs start self congratulating. Weird.

Well this would explain the ABC.

Where is his science to prove this & where are the others carrying out studies to prove him wrong? This is science, not media studies.

Scientist's, they do tend to make a lot of mistakes. Any wonder why some choose to ignore them.

Turns out there are enough examples in the world to prove him wrong.

Yea well there you go, an expert in his field but what would he know?

Wronghink shall not be tolerated!!!

I love it when Leftards start eating each other.
