We praised the comments of Jensen and regard most of the contentions of Hunt and Sternberg as absurd. It is ridiculous to question the validity of the skin color map and its application since meaningful group differences and meaningful correlations between temperature and skin color were found. It was inappropriate for Hunt and Sternberg to attribute prejudices and erroneous preconceptions to our raters who were assigned a task that inherently permits very minimal subjective interpretation. The suggestion of Hunt and Sternberg that higher intelligence evolves in equatorial people is incongruent with the correlation or 0.62 between cranial capacity and distance from the equator reported by Beals et al. Hunt and Sternberg failed to provide a balanced perspective in their critique of the Lynn and Vanhanen international presentation of IQs.
