Re: Is Saletan advocating eugenics?

Of course genes are a primary determinant of intelligence.

The question is how is intelligence tested for. The idea that current IQ tests are adequate when they differentiate racial group IQs on the order of a WHOLE STANDARD OF DEVIATION OR GREATER is most likely wrong.

All things being equal environmentally blacks and whites are likely only a handful of IQ points different from each other on their group averages.
