The Global Bell Curve: Race, IQ, And Inequality Worldwide

Rate this book
Richard Lynn s new book shows that in many multi-racial countries, people of Jewish and East Asian ancestry average highest in IQ and socio-economic position, Whites next highest, South Asians and Hispanics next highest, and people of African descent consistently average at lower levels. Lynn argues that the average population group differences in socio-economic position (education levels, earnings, welfare dependency) are due to their average differences in intelligence. Since these differences also translate into fertility patterns, with the lowest IQ populations having more children, the specter of a dysgenic future is raised. Altogether the issues are discussed separately across 13 countries or areas of the the United States, Africa, Australia, Brazil, Britain, Canada, the Caribbean, Hawaii, Latin America, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia.

To be quite honest, it added no value to the understanding of intelligence and race. The data was fun to read but that was about it, I think it was highly biased.

for all his so called intelligence this buffoon is unable to come to terms that intelligence quotient is a flawed system that has been created to only benefit a certain racial category, the white man, he forgets how long it takes for things to progress as the world still recovers from the adverse effects of colonization. This book is equal to how self proclaimed evolutionists compared the intelligence of women to a primate monkey. There’s no other way to put it, what a fucking idiot
