Rushton vs. the People

Has China Been Rewriting History to Make Europeans Look Average?

Do Asians have the highest IQs? During the 1980s and 90s, Canadian psychologist Philippe Rushton presented his theory of racial ‘lifehistory’. He maintained that black Africans are athletically superior to whites (except for swimming), whereas East Asians are most intelligent, though less sexual and less athletic than whites.

After the controversy erupted, and Rushton was called a “Racist Pig”, he doubled down with a book titled, Race, Evolution, and Behavior (1995). His research placed whites in the middle of two extremes (r/K) as the “average race”, neither physically nor mentally superior.
