I received this in my mailbox, too.
You know, all poor Franz Boas (who himself was a physicist) is guilty of is
submitting the evidence of phreneologists to statistical methods! And when he
did this, he was hard-pressed to find significance in findings of "racial
inferiority".
One wonders if they have started to skip the teaching of statistics in the
sciences if a modern-day physicist can throw out Boas' quantitative findings
so casually and go back to an earlier dark age.
Sincerely,
Joel GAzis-SAx
