You are moving the goalposts, you didn't ask for peer reviewed sources. Scholarly articles aren't as readily available as simply links that I can post on Reddit. And the last time I checked, the NYT was hardly an alt-right publication.
.
But if you insist, here are quite a few for you, although only the abstracts are generally available:
The Biological Reification of Race

Race: The Reality of Human Differences

Race Reconciled? How Biological Anthropologists view human variation

Understanding race and human variation: Why forensic anthropologists are good at identifying race
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajpa.21006/full
Biohistorical approaches to “race” in the United States: Biological distances among African Americans, European Americans, and their ancestors

Now - most of the anthro articles don't endorse the "folk" or popular view of race and so they might seem like a debunking of race, but in fact, they recognize there are measurable variations, they just think there is more variation than what people popularly observe. And the usefulness in forensic DNA in indentifying victims or suspects has been invaluable. See the landmark Dr. Frudakis case.
EDIT - wow, so I include a ton of peer reviewed articles and already I am downvoted in the first 30 seconds, not even enough time for anyone to have skimmed those links. Classy.
For anybody interested in learning more about almost everything being discussed in this thread, I highly recommend reading The Making of the Fittest: DNA and the Ultimate Forensic Record of Evolution by Sean B. Carroll. Dr. Carroll is not only a leader in the field of Evo-Devo, he is an excellent writer, making some of the most difficult concepts of the molecular aspects of evolution easy to understand.
No, it's actually pretty easy.
I just decided to amazon check "Nikola Tesla" and apparently he wrote an autobiograpy on his inventions
https://www.amazon.com/My-Inventions-Autobiography-Nikola-Tesla/dp/1452880956
and it's a short read. 96 pages
it's easily found as a pdf online reformatted to 25 pages
Pokebutt Go: Pounded By 'Em All
Of course. We all know it's a nationality
I didn't think the obvious needed evidence. Didn't realize you were that clueless on the issue.
Here's a bio criminologist talking about his whole field is held back:
How criminologist who study biology are shunned by their field
Here's widely respected Steven Pinker who wrote a book on the subject: The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature
My God.. that linking was too much work to educate the clueless. I usually don't go there.
Robert H. Goddard actually called out this very argument from the newspapers (current in his day) and detailed why it's not true. Easiest source is probably this one.
Audiophiles are a bit odd http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0030H2O5E/?tag=kenrockwellcom
Perhaps we can bottle this stuff up and sell it with a 10x markup as "cancer prevention powder".

> 1. 'The EU center" Yes, trust the EU's report, they clearly have no agenda whatsoever, especially when considering Juncker's recent statement in which he asserted the EU would try to block democratically elected right wing parties from power. Even if Sweden over-reports rapes as compared to the rest of the world, there is still the crucial statistic of quantity of rapes by race. The fact people of foreign background are so over-represented means there is clearly an issue. Something like 91% of rapes in sweden are committed by people of foreign background, and the percentage is similar in pretty much all European countries that have experienced Islamic immigration in recent years.
Poisoning the well.
> 2. Actually, it's quite obvious that this is primarily a result of immigration. If old racial proportions had not changed, whites becoming a minority so soon would not have even been a possibility. Whites made up over 95% of most European countries following the end of WW2.
Read my other comments. I don't deny that.
> At worst, the population would slightly decline or stagnate as a very small minority of the population reproduced faster than the majority.
This is a major problem across Europe. In only a few years, we will have a
major economic problem, due to low birth rates.
> While I don't care to discuss race mixing because I doubt there is actually much science behind claims either pro or anti it,
There is significant evidence pro it.
> there are quite significant racial IQ gaps. Whites and Asians have an average IQ of somewhere between 100 and 110, those inhabiting Middle Eastern countries have an average IQ of between 80 and 90, and those inheriting Sub-Saharan Africa have an average IQ ranging from 60 to 80.
This can be explained by environmental factors.
> A quick google search on the matter yielded quite a few interesting results. Here is one: https://jaymans.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/sw3jig.jpg This book does a great job of covering human achievement through the ages http://www.amazon.com/Human-Accomplishment-Pursuit-Excellence-Sciences/dp/0060929642 and this set of graphs should say it all https://i.imgur.com/ySaBlBA.png
That book is incredebly eurocentric, and really low-quality IMO.
> If you can accept that Muslims are inherently violent, uncivilized, brain deficient, unintelligent, etc then
This is an extreme misrepresentation. His position is that many of the ideas of Islam (as well as those of most mainstream religions) are potentially or likely dangerous, such that they can lead good people to do bad things. What else explains the majority of suicide bombings (within the last few decades) being committed by jihadi groups?
edit:
>... Harris' inherent anti-theism.
Also, fun fact, did you know despite being an "anti-theist" (a label he would likely disagree with), he has spent much of his life studying Eastern religions directly? He's a proponent of many Eastern meditative practices, as well as a borderline Buddhist. He's also co-authored a book with a Muslim.
