>>Abstract:
>>The assumptions and analyses of the The Bell Curve
>>(Herrnstein, R.J. and Murray, C., 1994) regarding IQ, race,
>>heredity, and social status are reeøamined from a
>>multidisciplinary standpoint. They are evaluated in light of
>>the anthropological understanding of human physical variation
>>and social classification a well as from the standpoints of
>>cognitive and psychometric conceptions of intelligence.
>>Alternative analyses and interpretations of data will also be
>>eøplored. Much can be learned as well by comparing the analysis
>>and conclusions of The Bell Curve with historical eøamples of
>>scientific views of racial differencesand with the history of
>>attempts to define and test IQ both here and in other
>>cultures. Finally, the social policy implications of the
>>analysis are subjected to critical eøamination.
