Rushton, fonte del primo articolo e autore del paper, è la cosa piu lontana da reppresentante della "scienza" sull'argomento. Le lacune del suo libro su cui il paper è basato sono molte, si passa da metodologia e raccolta di dati seguite con i piedi alla poca dimestichezza con i concetti trattati es. l'applicazione della teoria r/K nel teorizzare che la lunghezza media del pene in una popolazione ne determini l'intelligenza media (anche qui la raccolta dei dati è pessima).

Race and IQ in the postgenomic age: The microcephaly case

Lynn and Vanhanen study has not been successfully replicated so far, their methodology has been criticized and they have also been accused of ignoring high IQ scores from Africa. There's a vast literature, u/humanprideworldwide has already mentioned [this good short reading] (https://www.reddit.com/r/badscience/comments/7o5hxx/a_response_to_the_alternative_hypothesis_video/) on this topic

More in depth readings :

I think a good starting point would be to read this APA paper on the state of intelligence research. It's fairly recent and it should answer most of your questions.

How heritability misleads about race by Ned Block, a more theoretical response to Murray and Hernsein's The Bell Curve.

Intelligence, Genes, and Success: Scientists Respond to The Bell Curve

What went wrong? Reflections on science by observation and The Bell Curve by Clark Glymour

Intelligence: New Findings and Theoretical Developments by Nisbett et al.

A study by Turkheimer et al. about the dependence of IQ heritability on socioeconomic status (ses). Another study by Kirkpatrick et al. on replication efforts.

A recent meta-analysis by Tucker-Drob & Bates for further edification.

The Bell Curve Revisited: Testing Controversial Hypotheses with Molecular Genetic Data by Dalton Conley and Benjamin Domingue.

Race and IQ in the postgenomic age: The microcephaly case by Sarah Richardson

Aaron Panofsky's chapter, From Behavior to Postgenomics, in Postgenomics: Perspectives on Biology After the Genome provides a succinct overview of recent developments on the "nature vs. nurture" debate over the genetic foundations of behavior.

This book covers refutations of much of the maths, from actual statisticians.

>I'm not sure why people get up in arms over intelligence being one of the things. I mean, some people are genetically predisposed to not being very tall. Why is it so inconceivable that intelligence is connected to genes?

They're not getting up in arms about the idea that intellect is connected to genetics. It clearly is. They're getting up in arms over the poorly proven claim that there are genetic differences between the groups, and that black people are a homogenous group with a low IQ.

And as a result of that research he argued for starving black babies to death. If IQ is a result of disease or nutrition or education then that can be changed, but if it's a result of genetics, why not kill the inferior race, as he argues for with an end to social support?

>The fact remains, affirmative action is up for debate because no discussion should be off limits.

If you believe, as he does, that less black people should go to college because they're less intelligent, that is a very racially charged belief, true or false.

You are allowed to have that belief, but people are allowed to call you racist. The topic is not off limits, just the topic of black people being dumb so they shouldn't go to college tends to get you called racist.

Thanks for the delta.
