Product Description
Richard Lynn, one of the leading researchers on intelligence and personality and the author of several major books on IQ and personality research, summarizes in this landmark work what one scholar has described as “the definitive study of race differences in intelligence.” Since 1977, Richard Lynn has blazed a pioneering trail of research on racial differences in IQ. In previous books and scientific articles, Lynn has explored dysgenic trends in intelligence, sex differences in IQ, psychopathic personality traits, and the dimensions of personality and national character. In this book, Lynn analyzes the results of over 500 published studies that span tem population groups—races and sub-races worldwide—in what is certain to be a path-breaking book for IQ experts and educated laypersons alike. This comprehensive review of worldwide racial differences of general intelligence explores the formation of races, meaning of intelligence, validity of race differences in IQ, environmental and genetic correlates of intelligence, the relationship between brain size and intelligence, the evolution of racial differences in intelligence, and the factor of racial hybrids. In a relentlessly methodical approach, Lynn expands upon an extensive array of research findings from the biomedical and social sciences, including the latest studies from the fields of behavior genetics, evolutionary psychology, and anthropology in reaching his thought-provoking conclusions. Extensively referenced, this exhaustive study of race and IQ is a milestone accomplishment and should serve as the yardstick by which future research is measured. "The IQs of the races…can be explained as having arisen from the different environments in which they evolved, and in particular from the ice ages in the northern hemisphere exerting selection pressures for greater intelligence for survival during cold winters; and in addition from the appearance of mutations for higher intelligence appearing in the races with the larger populations and under the greatest cold stress. The IQ differences between the races explain the differences in achievement in making the Neolithic transition from hunter-gathering to settled agriculture, the building of early civilizations, and the development of mature civilizations during the last two thousand years. The position of environmentalists that over the course of some 100,000 years peoples separated by geographical barriers in different parts of the world evolved into ten different races with pronounced genetic differences in morphology, blood groups, and the incidence of genetic diseases, and yet have identical genotypes for intelligence, is so improbable that those who advance it must either be totally ignorant of the basic principles of evolutionary biology or else have a political agenda to deny the importance of race. Or both." From Race Differences in Intelligence: An Evolutionary Analysis

 Race Differences in Intelligence September 15, 2009

"Race Differences in Intelligence" is an absolutely brilliant meta-analysis that confirms Lynn's stature as one of the most important psychological theoreticians of our time. With surgical precision, Lynn's formidable intellect objectively dissects the various arguments for and against the stance that different ethnic groups have radically divergent average levels of intelligence. "Race Differences in Intelligence" convincingly demonstrates that genetic research has categorized humanity into a taxonomy of 10 major races, that intelligence in a genuine trait that is primarily determined by genetically-based factors such as brain size and specific alleles that foster neurocognitive processing, and that evolutionary pressures have caused the tropical races to have lower average levels of intelligence than the northern Eurasian races (Caucasians and East Asians). Lynn effectively anticipates counter-arguments just as they occur to the reader, and he dispatches virtually every possible objection that somebody might propose to his conclusions. Lynn has mustered incontrovertible scientific evidence that irrefutably proves that the primary underlying cause of socioeconomic disparity is intelligence. Because in natural populations malnutrition only depresses phenotypic IQ by a maximum of 13 points, we must conclude that genes account for most of the IQ variance between groups, and that even adverse environmental factors are indirectly influenced by heritablity through "gene-environment covariation".
Lynn did neglect to mention the work of Martin D. Jenkins, although reports from the 1930s by this African-American psychologist are contradicted by so much other evidence that they do not seem plausible. Lynn also did not cite the important 2006 article "Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence" by Gregory Cochran et al., possibly because this had not been published in time for inclusion in Lynn's book. Nevertheless, "Race Differences in Intelligence" is the most comprehensive treatment available about this topic. There are only two types of people who will not be persuaded by Lynn's excellent presentation. First, there are those who desire to stay willfully ignorant in order to avoid having to modify their unexamined preconceptions. Second, there are those who deliberately remain in denial to avoid having to admit that affirmative action and other unjust failed social policies are in dire need of reconsideration. This book is a thrilling intellectual adventure.
 Full of stats, weak on science August 8, 2008

On such a sensitive topic, the science must be iron-clad. What is intelligence ? Are there alternative explanations to apparent discrepancies in IQ ? This book is not the place to find answers to these crucial questions.
Great book June 1, 2008

Great book, he uses brain size measurements, twin studies, I.Q.'s, trans racial adoption studies to prove he is correct.
Just a theory April 19, 2008

One has to be very careful when we look at some of the conclusions from the book. The argument of cold weather producing people of higher intelligence and aggression is nothing new. Aristotle made similar arguments more than 2000 years ago in ancient Greece. If we follow this same line of reasoning then the most advanced cultures on earth should belong to those of the Inuit or Eskimos or people in or along the Arctic circle. But they are not due to their geographic isolation from the main areas of social, cultural, economic and scientific exchange that exist elsewhere in the world.
Additionally, if we look at the cultures that existed in the Americas prior to the arrival of Europeans it was the civilizations in Central and South America (Aztecs, Incas, Mayas), all warmer climates that developed a higher level and complexity of civilization then their neighbors to the North.
In short, the theory does not hold up in all cases and should be looked at being just one variable in the countless other factors in determining differences in intelligence among various groups.
Great book but not for the politically correct. January 7, 2008

Very thoughtful and well researched book on a subject that is basically taboo. Mr.Lynn makes a strong case for heredity playing a substantial role in the differences in race intelligence and behavior. I highly recommend this book for those who are not afraid of learning a lesson you won't learn in many biased school systems.
