Want to Read $ 12.99"Nobody has ever found any genes linking ethnicity or race to school results. Like Henry Garrett half a century earlier, [Gerhard] Meisenberg chooses to skip over the social, historical, and economic aspects of racial inequality.

He takes it as given that the answer must be biological."-Angela Saini, Superior: The Return of Race Science
