The Bell curve case for heredity
Article Abstract:
The Bell Curve maintains that racial differences can affect intelligence and that the level of intelligence can be hereditary. Scientists have disputed this by stating that there is no proven genetic differential. It has been proven scientifically that the intelligence potential for all races are the same and there is no question of genetic differential. The heritability of IQ has been established but there have been no established links to race.
