It is possible @primalpoly that my long friendship with SJ Gould (who was also a supporter of skepticism) colored my perception of his work. I know his far leftism sometimes distorted his science, but "fraud" seems too strong a word—at least regarding his history of science work.https://twitter.com/primalpoly/status/984168221526781953 …
Gould was a hero to me as a teen fascinated by evolution, and 'Mismeasure of Man' seemed plausible. Later when I learned more about intelligence research, it was deeply unsettling to realize how egregiously Gould had misrepresented the science and its history and motivations.
