A Response to Rushton's "Race Differences in Behaviour"

Abstract

In this paper I refute J. P. Rushton's claim to having demonstrated heritable race differences in intelligence, cranial capacity, and brain weight. I also refute his claim to having established that heritable behavior traits, when ordered by gene-culture coevolutionarily based r/K reproductive strategies, determine the level of human evolutionary development to be, in descending order, Mongoloids, Caucasoids, and Negroids. Refutation is accomplished through analysis of the causal chain governing explicit theory and unstated assumptions; documentation of inadequate, spurious and misapplied data sources; and demonstration of scientifically unacceptable methodology.
