Det var bara några år sedan professorerna Richard Lynn och Tatu Vanhanen sammanställde sin forskning i en bok med titeln " IQ and the wealth of nations", samt boken "Race Dfferences in Intelligence - An evolutionary study" av Lynn som du säkert i sådant fall skulle tycka var intressant.
"Its central finding: the world average IQ is no more than 90, equivalent to the mental age of a white 14-year-old. (Standardized IQ tests are normed to 100, the mental age of the average white 16-year-old.) Lynn also draws attention to the fact that a north-south IQ continuum has evolved, apparently through selection for survival in cold winters.
For Lynn, Race Differences In Intelligence represents the culmination of more than a quarter of a century’s work on intelligence. It was in 1977 that he first ventured into this field—some would say minefield—with the publication of two papers on IQ in Japan and Singapore. Both showed that the East Asians obtained higher averages than White Europeans in the United States and Britain. These initial studies were disputed, but the present book lists 60 studies of the IQs of indigenous East Asians, all of which confirm the original contention. IQ and the Wealth of Nations showed that variation in IQ largely explains the problem of why some countries are rich and others poor."
"Richard Lynn graduated in Psychology and took his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge. He has been lecturer in Psychology at the University of Exeter, professor of Psychology at the Economic and Social Research Institute, Dublin, and professor and head of the department of Psychology at the University of Ulster. His main work has been on intelligence and personality."
Här är en illustration av professor J. Philippe Rushton också, som är lite enklare att förstå.
Fast de studier du anför mäter utbildningsnivå, inte begåvning eller rasbundna förutsättningar för intelligens. Det är ju något annat...
