Japanese Inbreeding Depression Scores: Predictors of Cognitive Differences between Blacks and Whites.

Rushton, J. Philippe

Intelligence, v13 n1 p43-51 Jan-Mar 1989

Genetic influence was estimated on Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children subtests from inbreeding depression scores calculated on cousin marriages in Japan (n=1,854 children) and correlated with American Black-White racial differences. The genetic contribution of racial differences in cognitive performance may be more robust than was previously thought. (SLD)
