Its defenders claim to be standing up for uncomfortable truths, but race science is still as bogus as ever. I watched a video where Jordon Peterson said that the Ashkenazi Jews were smarter than most other races. But is this really true, so I did a search for it?The Alt Right, Steve Pinker, Steven Molyneux, and even Sam Harris have all jumped in on the pseudoscientific nonsense about race and intelligence. They haven't looked at the facts. The problem was that most of his identical twins were adopted into the same kinds of middle-class families. So it was hardly surprising that they ended up with similar IQs. In the relatively few cases where twins were adopted into families of different social classes and education levels, there ended up being huge disparities in IQ – in one case a

His finding has been reinforced by the changes in average IQ scores observed in some populations. The most rapid has been among Kenyan children – a rise of 26.3 points in the 14 years between 1984 and 1998, according to one study. The reason has nothing to do with genes. Instead, researchers found that, in the course of half a generation, nutrition, health and parental literacy had improved.
Are there genetic differences between the races?
