Lewontin, Richard C. – Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists: Science and Public Affairs, 1970
Dissects the controversial Jensen paper, and concludes that Jensen is wrong. (DM)

Bodmer, Walter F.; Cavalli-Sforza, Luigi Luca – Scientific American, 1970
Geneticists discuss the Jensen paper and suggest upon reviewing the evidence, that the question of genetic differences between the IQ of blacks and whites cannot be answered in the present circumstances. (DM)

Bowles, Samuel; Gintis, Herbert – Social Policy, 1972
Attempts to show that the purportedly scientific'' empirical basis of credentialism and I.Q.-ism'' is false; and to facilitate linkages between the groups who are being discriminated against the workers' movements within the white male labor force, by showing that the same mechanisms are used to divide strata against one another so as to…

Chapin, John – Research Journal (University of Maryland), 1970
The author suggests that more empirical evidence will have to be found before environmental influence can be declared insufficient to the cause of Negro-White I.Q. score differences. (Editor/RT)

Wade, Nicholas – Science, 1976
Studies by the late English psychologist Cyril Burt of IQ scores of separated twins strongly suggested that intelligence was inherited. A summary of recent research costs doubt upon the validity of Burt's work. (SL)

Rose, Richard J.; And Others – Science, 1979
Data are presented from families of monozygotic twin pairs which give evidence of genetic variance on the Block Design Test, a nonverbal measure of intelligence. Analyses of genetic and environmental effects on behavior are possible with this kind of information. (SA)

Kilgore, William J.; Sullivan, Barbara – Journal of General Education, 1975
This article considered some of the assumptions underlying studies of race and I. Q., the degree to which these studies can serve as secure guides to educational strategies, and the wider implications of such research for the value systems that operate within academic institutions. (Editor/RK)
Descriptors: Academic Freedom, General Education, Heredity, Intelligence Differences
Gould, Stephen Jay – Natural History, 1974
The author argues that no "hard" data exists on genetically based differences in intelligence among human groups. IQ measures the heritability of IQ, and statistical inaccuracies in reported studies are discussed and questioned. The current interest in biological determinism of intelligence is trivial; individuals can not be judged by group means.…

Friedrichs, Robert W. – Journal of Negro Education, 1973
Reports a study which sought to discover, through a sampling of members of the A.P.A., the degree to which they agreed with Jensen's statements regarding racial differences in intelligence and their genetic basis, and to note the presence of any associations between the responses and other potentially relevant data. (Author/JM)

The issue of race differences in intelligence, especially with respect to American black and white populations, is adjudged to be "nonsensical" in terms of the framing of the question, the populations sampled, the testing instruments utilized, and the concept of "intelligence" postulated.
