[lbo-talk] mystical fascist race theory

[bhandari at berkeley.edu]

high heritability estimates for 'intelligence' from identical twin stuides
does not indicate the power of intelligence 'genes'; results could be from
shared environment having the same effect due not to intelligence genes
but identical genes which control for chemical reactions which effect the
development of the embryo. Moreover, identical twins are treated more
alike than fraternal twins. See Mark Nathan Cohen. And the hereditarians
have not provided an explanation for rest of the variation which seems too
great for theory of genetic determinism.  The quality of Boucher's data
seems up for question as well.
