Paperback. Zustand: New. Unread and unopened! 530pp. This book challenges social scientists to reconsider the theoretical foundations of the study of social phenomena. Until now social scientists have assumed that varying environmental factors explain social phenomena and that there cannot be any common explanatory factor behind various social phenomena. However, the empirical evidence presented in this book and covering nearly 200 countries indicates that many kinds of human conditions depend significantly on differences in average intelligence of nations (national IQs). Differences in intelligence help to explain all kinds of phenotypic social phenomena as well as the persistence of social inequalities in the world. Environmental factors affecting such phenomena vary from case to case, but intelligence reflecting the evolved human diversity remains the same explanatory factor across all phenotypic social phenomena. This means that it provides a unifying theoretical construct for the social sciences. Unfortunately social scientists have not yet realized that most problems explored in social sciences are phenotypic phenomena depending on both genotypic and environmental factors and that intelligence is a powerful genotypic common explanatory factor. The arguments and hypotheses presented in this book are tested and supported by extensive empirical evidence. Ultimately empirical evidence will decide the destiny of conflicting theoretical arguments. Reviewers' comments: "This path-breaking book is a major contribution to the social sciences." Professor Donald Templer, Alliant International University. A brilliant exposition of the significance of intelligence for the social sciences" Professor J.P. Rushton, University of Western Ontario" Lynn and Vanhanen show the importance of IQ, measured intelligence, as an explanatory variable, not just for psychologists but for economists, sociologists and indeed anyone who wishes to understand the contemporary world free of the imprisoning blindfolds of political correctness. "Professor Christie Davies, University of Reading. Lynn and Vanhanens new book is an important development of their innovative work in establishing a new sub-discipline concerned with the documentation of national IQs and their explanatory power for the social sciences and evolutionary psychology. Dr Raegan Murphy, University College, Cork. Their new book is a further milestone in the development of their work on the explanatory value of national differences in IQs for a large number of economic, educational, cognitive, political, demographic, sociological and epidemiological phenomena." Dr Satoshi Kanazawa, London School of Economics "The central argument is persuasive and is supported by considerable evidence." John M. Strate, Department of Political Science, Wayne State University.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Unread and unopened! Tatu Vanhanen extends his ground breaking research undertaken with Richard Lynn in IQ and Global Inequality (2006). Here the analysis is expanded by using more measures of inequality, confirming that three-quarters of global variation in socio-economic inequality is explained by population differences in IQ. These inequalities exist in basic human conditions: per capita income, the rate of university enrollment, mortality of children under 5 years of age, access to sanitation, and index of democracy. As IQ is a phenotypic trait, caused by genes (three quarters) and environment (one quarter), Vanhanen concludes that inequality between populations cannot be explained by environmental factors alone. Inequality between populations is largely a by-product of human genetic diversity. Unless we are willing to abolish genetic variation between populations, we should accept a degree of inequality as part and parcel of that variation. Tatu Vanhanen has written a challenging book on international wealth differences with the central message that the currently prevailing "environmental worldview" needs to be replaced by a "phenotypic worldview". He bases his approach on evolutionary theory and empirical data and extensively discusses alternative views. In order for science to progress, one should not repeat the predominant view but question it. This highly stimulating book is recommended to all who want to broaden their perspective." Heiner Rindermann, Department of Psychology, Technical University Chemnitz, Germany. "Undoubtedly, some readers will take task with the chilling hypothesis presented in this book, but they are advised to first consult Tatu Vanhanen's supporting evidence. It is, I fear, substantial!"Helmuth Nyborg, Aarhus University, Denmark, (1968-2007). "This book will be invaluable to anyone interested in the real causes of inequality in human conditions. Highly recommended!Ignaty Zhuravlev, Moscow State University, Russia. "This book's thesis is as bold as it is controversial.it makes a clear argument and an original contribution and defends it convincingly." Mankind Quarterly.…
