Jews Are Genetically Smarter
Prof Murray says natural selection has made Jews like Albert
Einstein smarter. Controversial political scientist Charles Murray
says Jews have become disproportionately intelligent due to natural
selection during centuries of exile.
The argument over nature versus nurture - do your genes or your
upbringing determine your intelligence - has been raging since the
Victorian era, but it never gets more angry than when the question of
race is involved.

Izzie Eysenck Said Blacks Are Inferior
In the 1970s and 80s, professors Arthur Jensen and HJ Eysenck, were
the target of angry campus protests in Britain, America and Australia
almost every time they lectured because their research implied African
people in particular had lower IQs than other races.

Richard Hernstein
Experimental psychologist Richard Herrnstein coauthored the book
the Bell Curve which said a IQ of 135 is normal in Jews.

It's Not Environment But Rather Genetics
Murray says: - "Well, in fact, in all of my published material
regarding The Bell Curve and IQ, we were very careful ... to say that
the nature-nurture debate is pretty artificial in this sense. If
you're talking about IQ, nobody denies that environment plays a very
important role.
People being genetically superior is a fact of life. The
existence of group differences which should occupy our attention, not
whether they are genetic or environmental."

Jews Are Gifted
"Yes ... you're exactly right. When I did the article on Jews and
their disproportionate accomplishment relative to their numbers in the
arts and sciences, I come down explicitly and say it looks to me like
this is going to be genetic. In the case of Jews - Ashkenazi Jews in
particular, but Jews in general in a larger sense - I'm much more
comfortable saying there is no good environmental explanation for the
difference."

Jewish Approach To Education Helps
"That's of course the first explanation, that Jews value education,
and in the course of spelling out the argument, I say, 'Look, what
kind of culture is going to highly value education?
The fact that Jews control the administrative, curriculum, and most
professors is because they are just smarter.

What Made Collin Powell So Special
Is a black from the Caribbean more gifted than a black from Africa?
Professor Murray acknowledges that even blacks can produce a great
leader. The fact that his grandfather was Jewish might be the key
factor.

The Book The Bell Curve
Intelligence is one, if not the most, important correlative factor
in economic, social, and overall success in America, and is becoming
more important. Intelligence is largely 80% genetically heritable.
