Several people suggested that I post a little list of critiques of Rushton to
the list rather than to individuals. So, here it is. I didn't include any of
Rushton's replies, but you can find them on pyschlit (where I got most of this)
. I figure you all got his message anyway.

Kim Hill's and Jim Chisholm's views have already been posted to anthro-l
so I'm not going to include them (but if anyone deleted them I could forward
those two).

Henery Harpending is doing a review essay on Rushton, Murray and others in
_Evolutionary Anthropology_ which is forthcoming.
