A summary of Rushton's Race, Evolution and Behaviour. Community guidelines meant not all his points could be included.
How can the science on race, evolution and behaviour inform the debate about critical race theory?
Critical race theory assumes that different outcomes between racial groups are due solely to discrimination. But equal opportunities will lead to unequal outcomes if the groups are different on average partly due to genetics. And the unequal outcomes will in fact be equitable, just as blacks dominate power sports on merit.
Fossil records, archaeology, and genetic DNA studies of the living races support Charles Darwin's insight that we evolved in Africa. Humans then spread to the Middle East, Europe, Asia, Australia, and then to the Americas. As humans left Africa, their bodies, brains and behaviour changed. True: all humans are brothers (and sisters). But we all know that brothers and sisters can still be very different from one another.
In the debate about critical race theory, this is the elephant in the room. Cowardice isn't going to help anyone.
