Actually, the differences that I think are obvious and undeniable have 
more to do with concepts of value, and I'm always amused that those who 
are most vocal about their sophisticated scientific worldview use 
evolution as a magic word to banish people they regard as evil but are 
determined not to know what the implications are.  For differences in 
aptitude, weightlifting or boxing would be among the better examples 
because the signal to noise ratio is cleanest.

But mostly, I find these discussions boring because it becomes an 
exercise in listening to someone recite their ideological catechism, and 
I should probably resist the temptation to post to the thread in the 
first place.
