That said study was all you could conjure tells me you are merely stating a personal belief that you are now retroactively trying to provide some ground for.
The reason why you lose this argument is that
you are trying to defend the indefensible. I do not need to mention any scientific papers to prove you wrong, because you are already in the worst possible position.

Genetically introverted? I'd love to see the scientific support you can muster for the notion that introversion is genetically.
Genetically what? Did you mean "genetically determined"?
You are trying to make the point that introversion has no genetic component, which is absurd. You make an excessively strong statement, but you have to keep in mind that extraordinary statements require extraordinary evidence. The burden of proof is on you.
Saying that introversion is 100% genetic is also absurd. Saying that there is a genetic component and an environmental one is much smarter and much more devious, but it also conveys zero information. The weaker a statement is, the more invulnerable it becomes. That is what makes strong statements fragile.
Heartiste writes on HBD, and HBD upsets lots of people, for obvious reasons. Saying that HBD is true is obviously a weak statement. Saying that it is false is a very strong and very fragile statement.
Given that each tribe underwent different selective pressures in the past, why would all humans have equal characteristics? It is extremely unlikely, it is actually impossible.
Tribes of humans are like breeds of dogs. Yes, all dogs came from the same genetic material, from wolves, but artificial selection produced countless species of dogs, and the existence of phenotypical differences is what makes different breeds identifiable. Is it "breedism" to say that a pit bull is more aggressive than a chihuahua? No, it is a fact. Is it "racism" to say that Ghanaians and Nigerians are physically stronger than the mongoloid Native Brazilians? No, it is a fact, it is why the Portuguese took Western Africans to Brazil to serve as slaves.
