Summary
This document is an essay presenting a theory on human cognitive development, suggesting it is based on simple 'developmental switches' rather than complex innate circuits. The author makes controversial comparisons between developmental speeds and IQ across different races and draws parallels to machine learning, citing a 2015 incident where Google's AI misidentified Black people. Despite the 'Epstein-related' prompt, the document's content does not mention Jeffrey Epstein or any known associates; its only potential connection is a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' document label.

"I think that there is a chance (we don't know that, but it seems to most promising hypothesis IMHO) that the difference between humans and apes is not a very intricate special circuit, but genetically simple developmental switches."Source

Quote #1
"In the US, black children outperform white children in motor development, even in very poor and socially disadvantaged households, but they lag behind (and never catch up) in cognitive development even after controlling for family income."Source

Quote #2
"This is a hypothesis that is shared by a growing number of people these days. In humans, it is reflected for instance by the fact that races with faster motor development have lower IQ."Source
