Washington Summit Publishers announces the publication of Race Differences in intelligence by Professor Richard Lynn.

This book should be of particular interest to your audience.

Professor Lynn deals with the distribution of intelligence in different races and latitudes, In a world where hard assets of population and place are becoming less important IQ could be the 21 Century path to national power.

In his review Professor Phillipe Rushton focuses on Lynn's findings as having "...profound geopolitical significance..." And on the downside "They mean that the world's long-term problems will stem from its populations capabilities-much deeper, and more intractable than any 'Clash of Civilizations'-style competition between different political concepts...The implications for immigration are obvious: it can have fundamental, and permanent, consequences."

Extensively referenced, this exhaustive study by one of the leading experts in the field is a milestone accomplishment and should serve as the yardstick by which future research is measured. Of particular interest is a color coded world map showing the distribution of the primary indigenous populations and their IQs.

Race Differences in Intelligence is immediately available for $17.95 Trade Paperback (ISBN 1 -59368-021 -X or $34.95 Hardback (1 - 59368-020-1). It can be obtained from Amazon.com, special ordered from bookstores or directly from the publisher at www. wspublishers.com or 800-476-6287.

For your immediate attention we include a summary of the book, Professor Lynn's curriculum vitae, and a review by Professor Phillipe Rushton.

lol...why don't you pay for an add

Mods?

And who are supposed to be the smartest guys? Because if it isn't the Asians, the study is biased.

The only problem is, IQ measurements don't actually measure intelligence. Stanford and Binet designed the test as a measure of how well kids would do in school. That's why it's heavily weighted on verbal, mathematical and visual pattern recognition.

The IQ (not surprisingly) is strongly correlated with school performance, but has absolutely no predictive power when it comes to real-world success, however defined.

And for the record, any attempt to correlate IQ or intelligence with racial origin is pure bullsh*t.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')urthermore "intelligence" does not exist. You can not see it, feel it, smell it, or measure it because it has no physical existance.

[12amps]

maybe you should consider broadening your definition of 'existence'.

Does the number 3 exists? Is PI real? what about imaginary numbers?

If intelligence doesn't exists, then neither does math, religion, science, emotions, and indeed perception and physical reality itself!

I can never understand why it's so difficult for some people to realize different races of people are.... well, different. Much like there are different variations among all kinds of beings on Earth.

Some breeds of dogs are smarter than others, for example, any dog breeder will tell you that. It's the same with horses and it's the same with all life forms.

Humans are no different. Subtle variations in genetic codes can result in profound differences in all areas of the beings cognitive and physical attributes. I won't go into the many, many obvious examples of this because some members here may get upset and I seriously do NOT want that to happen.

Have a nice day.

It's obvious that we are different. Even identical twins (same genes) are different in many ways. Our genes are only potentiality. The environment transforms the potentiality into reality. Learning only adds up to these two.

Having different genes and clearly different environments (physical, social, economic) it necessarily follows that we are different. Intelligence is by no means excluded.

Because the intelligence is affected by a very complex interraction between hundreds of genes, the environment and the learning capability, the result is spectacular: the intelligence is probably the most variable characteristic of the human race.

Let's say you are Einstein as a 1 year old child. Papa Einstein and mama Einstein take you in a trip through the Black Forest. Unfortunately they lose you in the forest, and you are found only 20 years later. In the meantime you had no contact with a human being, only with wild animals. What will the result be? Easy one: bubye Einstein, welcome feral child. No matter how intelligent you potentially were, because of the lack of interraction with society, you will not be able to speak, read, write, count, regardless of the efforts made by your peers.

Extreme example, I know, but the same is true regarding the differences in intelligence by race, family and social status, gender, you name it.

It's obvious that women are different than men, asians are different than europeans or africans, poor people are different than rich people and so on.

There's no need to fight and argue. It's a natural thing.

We try to paint it pink because of human rights and equality concepts, but the truth is so obvious: we are not equal, we are all different.

[PenultimateManStanding]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'c')ontrary to assertions of objectivity, claims for inequality implies claims for inadequacies and is not therefor clinical or dispassionate.

[Dreamtwister]

Warmed-over eugenics nonsense. Who's to say that the "engineer" is more intelligent than say...a professional trapper? I have excellent problem-solving skills, but my brother is very mechanically inclined. Which of us is "more intelligent"? On paper, probably me. But god help me if my car breaks down on the way to my office.

Tying it to race is just a way to justify one's own racism. Guess what? There's a reason so few world-class minds come out of Africa, and it's got nothing to do with race. It's because there aren't any world-class universities in Africa, and very, very few of the people there can afford to go to a world-class university elsewhere.

China, on the other hand, has something like 10,000 students for every universty placement. OF COURSE the ones that get in are smarter. If they weren't the best, they would have been one of the 9,999 losers.

[Tyler_JC]

There's a reason I don't bring up topics like this.

It doesn't matter if it is true or not, calling certain ethnic groups stupid in comparison to other ethnic groups is impolite.

For the simple reason of wanting to continue interracial harmony, I don't call attention to the shortcomings of various groups of people.

I would strongly prefer a world full of peaceful, happy people over a world where the smarter people know who they are and feel compelled to conquer the dumb people.

What exactly do we gain by identifying Ethiopians or Peruvians or Russians as the dumbest ethinc group?

Nothing.

We only piss off a bunch of Ethiopians or Peruvians or Russians.

I beg you, just let this topic die.

One lamentable result of political correctness is that many topics are now off limits for reasoned discussion - which is absurd and counterproductive.

Many intelligent, reasonable people scoff at religious fundamentalists who want to deny the validity of science - yet do the same thing by denying science or the possibility of scientific validity when the topic/subject area doesn't happen to fit with their particular agenda or outlook. The fundies at least scoff at science across the board - but those who are intelligent and capable of reason, yet accept science or the reasonable possibility of scientific validity selectively (only when it suits their worldview) are, in my view, hypocrites and intellectual cowards.

I'm not defending the author of the book mentioned, the premise, or his claims - I haven't read the work. However, it seems odd that a community that largely revolves around accepting the scientific evidence of PO should be so unwilling to discuss this topic of legitimate scientific enquiry - or even to grant it entry to the realm of barest possibility.
