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…

Intellect, 1977
The Genetics Society of America has released a statement saying that the possibility of a "genetic difference in intelligence between races" is still an open question and warning against "the misuse of genetics for political purposes". (Editor)

Vandenberg, Steven G.; Johnson, Ronald C. – 1966
Ronald C. Johnson argued that if early environmental stimulation or deprivation has a significant effect on intellectual ability, then individuals who are genetically identical and who are exposed to a common early environment should resemble one another more closely in IQ than similar individuals who have not shared a common environment. Johnson…

Plomin, Robert – Intelligence, 1978
Scarr and Weinberg's results (Intelligence, 1977) are compared to those of similar adoption studies and found to be quite similar, despite the transracial adoption patterns in Scarr and Weinberg's sample. The author also suggests that the major contribution of behavioral genetics to psychology may be our increased understanding of the environment.…

Wolff, JosePh L. – Intelligence, 1979
Explanations of differences in IQs of Northern and Southern Blacks focus on selective migration (hereditarians) or environmental causes such as education, discrimination and cultural deprivation. In this paper the environmentalist position is questioned and certain neglected features of Lee's data are construed as providing strong evidence for…

Morris, Frank L. – 1971
In 1969, Arthur Jensen published his controversial article concluding that blacks are less intelligent than whites and that genetic factors explain more of the variance between the two groups than environmental differences. This paper criticizes Jensen's work and discusses its negative implications. Interpretive and methodological weaknesses in…

Talbott, Robert E. – Urban League Review, 1975
Suggests that until some meaning of innate capacity is included, the word intelligence has little precision separate from its use in a social or cultural context. The culture that evolves its definition of intelligence will identify the tasks that fulfill that definition. (Author/AM)

Plomin, Robert; DeFries, J. C. – Intelligence, 1980
Extensive data on twins, nontwin siblings, siblings separated by adoption, and parent-child similarity indicate that the heritability of intelligence is closer to .50 than to .70. Differences could be due to environmental or genetic changes in the population, or to methodology. (Author/CP)

Haynes, Norris – Journal of Black Psychology, 1995
Raises issues for consideration in responding to the genetically based differences in intelligence suggested by "The Bell Curve." The author articulates several theories of intelligence supporting the environmental (nurturing) paradigm and argues why labeling and categorizing according to IQ scores is professionally unethical and…

Bower, T. G. R. – 1977
The growth model of intelligence; i.e. intelligence is the product of genetics plus environment (I.Q.=G+E), is discussed and questioned. If the growth model is discarded, formulating the problem of the development of intelligence in different ways and thinking of different possible technologies for changing intelligence can begin. The child…
