Intelligence, Genes, and Success
Devlin, Bernie / Roeder, Kathryn / Resnick, Daniel P. / Fienberg, Stephen E.
A scientific response to the best-selling The Bell Curve which set off a hailstorm of controversy upon its publication in 1994. Much of the public reaction to the book was polemic and failed to analyse the details of the science and validity of the statistical arguments underlying the books conclusion. Here, at last, social scientists and statisticians reply to The Bell Curve and its conclusions about IQ, genetics and social outcomes.
