The Forbidden Science: Uncovering Heredity, Evolution, Ancestry, Cognitive Disparities, Human Variation, and Adaptation in Population Intelligence

You know that feeling when something just does not add up. Billions are thrown at fixing gaps in smarts and success, but nothing really changes. This book digs into the raw science behind human variation that has been pushed aside. It lays out the facts on evolutionary psychology, cognitive differences, heritability of IQ, racial disparities in intelligence, population genetics, IQ testing history, and evolutionary biology without the fluff. Why do people tick differently? This book answers that question straight up. It tackles cognitive differences and how they play out in real life. It breaks down heritability of IQ with insights from history's big debates. It spotlights population genetics and evolutionary biology. It unpacks racial disparities in intelligence with evidence that hits hard. James Watson, co discoverer of DNA, once said that all social policies are based on the assumption that African intelligence is the same as European intelligence, whereas all the testing suggests otherwise. Tough topics, but worth it. This book does not preach. It presents solid information on evolutionary psychology, human evolution, and IQ testing history.
