Weird how many people will unfollow you for saying Gould had meaningful contributions to evolutionary theory. Is this controversial or something now? I get he didn't like hereditarianism, but why overextend the argument so far against him?

Gould's book 'The mismeasure of man' is the most intellectually dishonest book I've ever read (which is saying a lot). Ideologically biased to an catastrophic degree. It misled generations of students to reject IQ research, and caused massive harm to the educational system.
Citing two tendentious and biased papers from obscure journals doesn't mske Gould correct. His key empirical critiques of IQ research remained wrong and he knew they were wrong. He had a Narrative to sell, and didn't care about the truth.

You could read some of my work on IQ on my website http://primalpoly.com if you want to know what I think.
