IQ and race - The complete overview
Featuring the work of Henry Garrrett, Arthur Jensen, J. Phillipe Rushton, Richard J. Herrnstein, Charles Murray, Richard
Lynn, Tatu Vanhanen and others. The April 2012 discovery by an
international team of scientists of the gene HMGA2 which determines brain size and intelligence, has firmly established
the supremacy of the “nature” or racial-determinant view of intelligence and achievement over the leftist “nurture”
argument.
This book reviews and summarizes all the major and influential works on IQ and race published since 1980. Starting with
the full text of Professor Henry Garret’s classic IQ and Racial Differences, the remainder of the book is given over to
summaries of:
- Harvard psychologist Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray’s bestseller The Bell Curve;
- Professors J. Phillipe Rushton and Arthur Jensen’s ground-breaking ”Thirty Years of Research on Race Differences in
Cognitive Ability” as published by the American Psychological Association;
- Professor Rushton’s book Race, Evolution and Behavior;
- Professors Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen’s IQ and the Wealth of Nations with its global IQ charts; and
- Full details of the 2012 HMGA2 gene discovery report.
If you want a simple to read, easy, concise and up-to-date summary of all the scientific evidence about race and IQ,
then this is the book for you.
