Default Negroid cognitive ability

It's an analysis of the various attempts to measure the average African IQ, by Dr. Heiner Rindermann of the Chemnitz University of Technology.

The conclusion is typical: The African IQ is estimated to be approximately 75 compared to a European average of 100, which is in agreement with virtually every estimate in the history of IQ testing.

More interesting is Rindermann's illustration of how ideologically dogmatic his field can be, evidently to the great annoyance of many sincere scientists. He opens by bluntly stating that discussion of genetic explanations is simply not allowed in discussion of education, sociology or economic issues:

"it is not unusual to stress one’s opposition to the genetic paradigm to acquire credibility and more acceptance."

and

"Usually, the genetic paradigm is simply ignored."


In other words, when people gather to discuss pressing issues in education, economics, or 'social justice' they avoid the issue of heredity altogether, in favour of environmental explanations - explanations which inevitably result in demanding more of the white people's money.

However, in more scientific circles:

"Within intelligence research, based on behavioral genetic studies, the hereditary view explaining individual differences dominates."

Rindermann cites Steve Pinker as calling the notion of genetic-driven group differences the most "dangerous idea". He also quotes geneticist Richard Dawkins who is his book The Extended Genome referred to "dogmatic and hysterical opposition to the very possibility of genetic variation in human mental abilities".

He also points out that while this dogmatic opposition will often not entertain the suggestion of a genetic explanation, "Evolutionary [hereditary] theories never denied environmental factors, but
stressed that genetic factors play a crucial role."

Rindermann ends with a list of five key points based on his review of the existing research.

1. The consistency with which Africans have lower IQs around the world indicates the presence of a stable variable, such as common genetics.

2. It was observed that race is more strongly connected to intelligence than is socioeconomic status.

3. Cognitive ability is strongly related to haplogroups (common ancestry) outside Africa as well.

4. The prevailing view that the scientific community, save for a couple of notorious racists, doesn't accept genetic explanations for IQ differences is false. A survey of 1020 scientists found only 15% believed environment alone accounted for race differences in intelligence...in 1987.

5. A scientific idea should not be treated as a moral or political issue; however if it is treated as such it is logical to view a genetic explanation as carrying no blame or guilt, in contrast with an environmental explanation. (Here Rindermann - innocently I believe - highlights the actual purpose of the environmental hypothesis)
