The Coming Dawn of Biohistory

It's been sixteen years since the publication of The Bell Curve. The evidence has only solidified in ways that was almost unthinkable back then.

The educational section in The New York Times is absolutely chock-full of IQ-related news. Parents want their children to have as high an IQ as they can produce, I guess realizing that it offers greater opportunity to be a productive citizen later on.

And most of us realize that IQ, or the idea that there's a general intelligence or g (see Arthur Jensen's g Factor) for people, is largely inherited. Not solely, but 60 percent+. I actually think the numerous, numerous studies put it closer to 80-85 percent.

If that's actually true and Darwinism continues its domination--intelligent design people are unpersuasive to me--then start having the courage and to connect the dots.

You may not realize the specific books that have done just that recently here and here.

A Wall Street Journal book review that is an excellent background is here.
