In the mid-19th century, a number of biological and social scientists came to believe that the genetic quality of the populations of the Western nations was deteriorating due to the relaxation of natural selection, the process by which nature eliminates the unfit in each generation by reducing their fertility and by early death. This view, and the idea that steps needed to be taken to correct the situation, came to be widely accepted by the first half of the 20th century. In the second half of the century, however, a reaction against eugenics set in, and from the 1970s onwards eugenics was almost universally dismissed. In this book, Richard Lynn reviews the history of the eugenics movement and seeks to rehabilitate the argument that genetic deterioration is occurring.

[large]Why are there Racial Inequalities?[/large]


1. Cultural Values
2. Structuralism
3. Human Capital
4. Intelligence, Earnings, and Socioeconomic Status
S. The Bell Curve
6. Reactions to The Bell Curve


In The Bell Curve Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray (1994) showed that in the United States there is a socioeconomic hierarchy of race and intelligence. They showed that whites are at the top of this hierarchy with the highest average IQ (103) and the highest socioeconomic status and earnings. Hispanics come next with an average IQ of 89 and intermediate socioeconomic status and earnings. Blacks come last with the lowest average IQ of 85 and the lowest socioeconomic status and earnings. They argued that the racial socioeconomic hierarchy is largely determined by differences in intelligence.
The present book examines how far this thesis holds for other multiracial societies. In many countries throughout the world there are racial inequalities in earnings and socioeconomic status. We consider how far these too can be explained by racial differences in intelligence.[/justify]

[justify]RACE DIFFERENCES IN INTELLIGENCE began tO be analyzed scientifically in the middle years of the nineteenth century. In the 1830s, Samuel Morton (1849) in the United States assembled a collection of skulls, measured their volume, and calculated that Europeans had the largest brains followed by Chinese, Malays, and Native American Indians, while Africans and finally Australian Aborigines had the smallest brains. He concluded that these differences in brain size accounted for the race differences in intelligence. A similar view was advanced a few years later in France by Paul Broca (1861, p. 304): "in general, the brain is larger in eminent men than in men of mediocre talent, in superior than in inferior races." About the same time Francis Galton (1969) in England arrived at the same conclusion by a different route. He assessed the intelligence of the races by the numbers of geniuses they produced in relation to the size of their populations. He concluded that the Greeks of classical Athens were the most intelligent people, followed in descending order by the lowland Scots, the English, the Africans, and the Australian Aborigines.[/justify]
