I initially read this as being about the IQ of the researchers and thought, "Matches my priors, but I can't believe he's tweeting something this thermonuclear."
I am not an IQ researcher, and have no particular expertise on, and am making no claim about, race & IQ. This is just a survey of what IQ researchers believe. They could all be wrong for all I know, and maybe this will be obvious 100 yrs from now.
I am also not an IQ researcher but I am stunned at the high amount of variance in these estimates. Is this topic so sensitive that it is never discussed among these researchers? You'd think that they would have narrowed the estimate down a bit by now.
It's a very very ideological field. For instance, one of the prominent environmentalists has said that proving the gap has a significant genetic component would be as devastating as the invention of the atomic bomb.
Got a link or ref for that?
