Which I went to, and found creditable, but Hercules know much more about this subject (all of biology) than I do.
In any case, Herculus, please tell some of the things you believe to be false in the paper.
I am never impressed by the IQ data*, but the article does claim many "facts" like:
The relative rate of two egg ovulation in the three "races" described 16:8:4/1000 births.
This "fact" ,if true, does support the claims of the article and can not be the result of current generation cultural effects. There are many other such "supporting facts" cited, related to brain volume, hip sizes, etc., that are difficult to infer from cultural influences instead of genetic causes.
Which of these “supporting fact” is false?

*While active in the civil rights movement many years ago, I took an IQ test, called the "chittlen test." - It was made from standard IQ tests, in which some useful background knowledge that is common in the white community had been replaced by corresponding knowledge, common mainly in the Black community. I did rather badly on it. (As I recall, "chittlens" are small pieces of fried pig intestines, and my failure to know that caused me to miss a question or two.) I no longer recall the corresponding question in the standard IQ test, but it may have been something like:
Which member of the following set is different from all the others:
(apples, figs, grapes, oranges, pears)
with the only change in the chittlen test being that these five became:
(Greens, grits, chittlens, beets, peas)
But I am still too ignorant to make the dificulty clear as "beets and peas" were also all replaced by common black food names that did not refer to meat. Until you take a "Chittlen IQ test" you do not appreciate how much back ground knowledge most common IQ tests require. For example, in above you must know that "figs" grow on trees to select "grapes" which do not, instead of guessing "figs". I only knew what two of the Chittlen test foods were, so I had to guess.
