Why not go and read Hitler's "Mein Kampf" for "evidence" about the
degenerate nature of Jews ?
What I posted is not a review of Rushton's book. It actually comes
from a discussion of the "science" behind Murray and Hernnstein's
"The Bell Curve". The point is that with the methods of "research"
that Rushton, Lynn etc. follow, their findings are not better than
ill-informed opinions.
