Расовые различия в интеллекте. Миф или реальность?

In 1980, Scottish sprinter Alan Wells won the 100m at the Moscow Olympics . He became the last native European to achieve such success in a discipline now undoubtedly dominated by athletes of sub-Saharan descent. While it seems perfectly acceptable today to talk about obvious differences in the success of representatives of different racial groups in different sports.

Western society stigmatizes anyone who raises the issue of differences in intelligence between members of the same racial groups. In 2007, the scientific world was shocked by a loud scandal. The eminent biologist, Nobel Prize laureate, and one of the discoverers of the structure of DNA molecules, James Watson, made a provocative statement. In one

interview, he said with his characteristic frankness: “ I am essentially depressed about the prospects for Africa, since our entire social policy is based on the idea that the mental abilities of its population are equal to ours, while all the research says that this is not at all the case.” This was not the

first harsh statement made by the great scientist. He has previously been criticised by feminists for proposing to make future generations of women more beautiful through genetic engineering. Advocates for sexual minorities, overweight people and many others. But it was his claim that racial intellect was disparate that made him the target of a harassment campaign that led to his

dismissal from Cold Spring Harbor. Although Urson later returned to work after making a public apology, the resentment still made itself felt. In 2014, he became the first Nobel laureate to sell his medal at auction. Gender of the being. Having passed away in November 2025, Watson became another victim of political correctness for daring to raise a taboo subject.
