Preface : The General Theory of Eugenics. During the course of the twentieth century a profound change took place in scientific and public attitudes to eugenics. In the first half of the century, virtually all biological scientists and most social scientists supported eugenics, and so also did many of the informed public. In the second half of the centmy, support for eugenics declined; and in the last three decades of the century, eugenics became almost universally rejected. In the history of science there is nothing particularly unusual in the rejection of a scientific theory. This has happened frequently as theories have come to be seen as incorrect and have been discarded. What is unusual is the rejection of a theory that is essentially correct. It is my objective in this book to establish that this is what occurred in the twentieth century with regard to eugenics. <strong>...</strong></p>Lynn Richard - The Global Bell Curveurn:md5:900514db9ab4c5b6160e236efbc77b4a2011-12-17T02:47:00+00:002014-03-12T19:36:20+00:00balderLynn RichardEugenicsRacesRacialism <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Lynn_Richard_-_The_Global_Bell_Curve_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

CHAPTER 1. Why are there Racial Inequalities? 1. Cultural Values 2. Structuralism 3. Human Capital 4. Intelligence, Earnings, and Socioeconomic Status 5. The Bell Curve 6. Reactions to The Bell Curve. In The Bell Curve Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray (1994) showed that in the United States there is a socioeconomic hierarchy of race and intelligence. They showed that whites are at the top of this hierarchy with the highest average IQ (103) and the highest socioeconomic status and earnings. Hispanics come next with an average IQ of 89 and intermediate socioeconomic status and earnings. Blacks come last with the lowest average IQ of 85 and the lowest socioeconomic status and earnings. They argued that the racial socioeconomic hierarchy is largely determined by differences in intelligence. The present book examines how far this thesis holds for other multiracial societies. In many countries throughout the world there are racial inequalities in earnings and socioeconomic status. We consider how far these too can be explained by racial differences in intelligence. <strong>...</strong></p>Lynn Richard - Dysgenics - Genetic deterioration in modern populationsurn:md5:515262bf81e800484dd16f63a89d397b2011-12-17T02:41:00+00:002014-05-07T22:06:29+01:00balderLynn RichardEugenicsRacesRacialism <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Lynn_Richard_-_Dysgenics_-_Genetic_deterioration_in_modern_populations_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Acknowledgments. It is a pleasure to record my appreciation for the help I have received from a number of people in writing this book. My research student, Lucy Greene, collected the data on the intelligence of children and their number of siblings described in Chapter 5, and David Farrington of the Institute of Criminology at Cambridge University supplied the data on the fertility of criminals described in Chapter 14. Edward Miller and Seymour Itzkoff read through the first draft and made a number of valuable comments. James Sabin of Greenwood Press was unfailingly helpful. I am especially indebted to Harry Weyher, president of the Pioneer Fund, for his encouragement and financial support. Betty Hemphill and Frances McLernon have provided ever-patient typing and clerical assistance. My wife, Susan, has been my severest critic, as wives should be, and has checked my logic, calculations and conclusions. To all of these I am grateful. <strong>...</strong></p>Lynn Richard - Race Differences in Intelligenceurn:md5:c5ef2929cfdf24265365a871b47d04f32011-12-17T02:34:00+00:002013-03-11T01:27:53+00:00balderLynn RichardEugenicsRacesRacialism <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Richard_Lynn_-_Race_Differences_in_Intelligence_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

The Meaning and Measurement of Intelligence 1. Definition of Intelligence 2. The Hierarchical Model of Intelligence 3. The IQ 4. Flynn Effects. RACE DIFFERENCES IN INTELLIGENCE began tO be analyzed scientifically in the middle years of the nineteenth century. In the 1830s, Samuel Morton (1849) in the United States assembled a collection of skulls, measured their volume, and calculated that Europeans had the largest brains followed by Chinese, Malays, and Native American Indians, while Africans and finally Australian Aborigines had the smallest brains. He concluded that these differences in brain size accounted for the race differences in intelligence. A similar view was advanced a few years later in France by Paul Broca (1861, p. 304): "in general, the brain is larger in eminent men than in men of mediocre talent, in superior than in inferior races." About the same time Francis Galton (1969) in England arrived at the same conclusion by a different route. He assessed the intelligence of the races by the numbers of geniuses they produced in relation to the size of their populations. He concluded that the Greeks of classical Athens were the most intelligent people, followed in descending order by the lowland Scots, the English, the Africans, and the Australian Aborigines. <strong>...</strong></p>Lynn Richard - Vanhanen Tatu - IQ and Global Inequalityurn:md5:939de0023a6865cc7b9198d16a2fcb9d2011-12-17T01:42:00+00:002014-05-07T22:06:38+01:00balderLynn RichardEugenicsRacesRacialism <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Lynn_Richard_-_Vanhanen_Tatu_-_IQ_and_Global_Inequality_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

PREFACE. Why Isn't the Whole World Developed ? The question "Why isn't the whole world developed?" was the title of a keynote lecture delivered in 1981 at a conference of the American Economie History Association by Richard Easterlin, a distinguished development economist and the Kenan Professor of Economies at the University of Pennsylvania. His lecture was relevant for the present book because he raised the possibility that there might be differences in intelligence between the peoples of different countries and that these might explain why sorne are more economically developed than others. However, he rejected this possibility: "1 think we can safely dismiss the view that the failure of modern technological knowledge to spread rapidly was due to significant differences among nations in the native intelligence of their populations. To my knowledge there are no studies that definitively establish differences, say, in basic IQ among the peoples of the world" (1981, p. 5). Twenty years later two other economists, Eric Hanushek of the Hoover Institution and Dennis Kimko of the American National Bureau of Economie Research, reiterated this position: "we assume that the international level of average ability of students does not vary across countries" (Hanushek and Dennis Kimbo, 2000, p. 1191). <strong>...</strong></p>
