Unread and unopened! (Hard to list as 'New' when it's 26 years old). Why the attempt to trash or suppress this booklet? Because there is no stronger taboo today than talking about race. In many cases, just being accused of 'racism' can get you fired. Yet, teachers in America know the races differ in school achievement; policemen know the races differ in crime rates; social workers know the races differ in rates of welfare dependency or getting infected with AIDS. And sports fans know that Blacks excel at boxing, basketball, and running. They all wonder why. Some blame poverty, White racism, and the legacy of slavery. Although many doubt that White racism really tells the whole story, few dare share their doubts. When it comes to race, do you really dare to say what you think? Racial groups differ much more widely than many people realize. Yet vocal groups in academia and the media simply forbid letting the public in on an open discussion. Many worry that just mentioning that the races differ creates stereotypes and limits opportunities. But looking at race does not mean ignoring individuals. It may even help us become more aware of each persons special needs. This book presents the scientific evidence that race is a biological reality that has both scientific and everyday meaning. 106pp. plus index and ads.…

From the Author
For the past twenty years I have studied race differences in brain size, intelligence, sexuality, personality, growth rate, life span, crime, and family stability. On all of these traits, Orientals fall at one end of the spectrum, Blacks fall at the other end, and Whites fall in between. On average, Orientals are slower to mature, less fertile, and less sexually active, have larger brains and higher IQ scores. Blacks are at the opposite end in each of these areas. Whites fall in the middle, often close to Orientals.The evidence shows that this is due to both genes and environment. I have suggested an evolutionary theory to explain this three-way pattern. But for a long time now social science has treated race as a major taboo. Many people worry that just mentioning that the races differ leads to stereotypes and a lack of opportunities. But looking at race does not mean ignoring individuals. It may even help us become more aware of each person's special needs. The goal of this book is to be scientific. I want to describe and explain the world around us as it really is. As Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, said: "Science consists in grouping facts so that general laws or conclusions may be drawn from them." I have no policy suggestions or programs to offer, but I do believe decision makers would benefit from knowing the facts about race. Both science and social justice depend on truth. Both should reject error and falsehood, however well meant.
