No support for the hereditarian hypothesis of the Black-White achievement gap using polygenic scores and tests for divergent selection.

American journal of physical anthropology - 1 Jun 2021

Bird Kevin A

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Debate about the cause of IQ score gaps between Black and White populations has persisted within genetics, anthropology, and psychology. Recently, authors claimed polygenic scores provide evidence that a significant portion of differences in cognitive performance between Black and White populations are caused by genetic differences due to natural selection, the "hereditarian hypothesis." This study...
