Comment on the Minnesota Transracial Adoption Study.
Levin, Michael; And Others
Intelligence, v19 n1 p13-44 Jul-Aug 1994
Michael Levin argues that data from the study are consistent with a black/white IQ difference that is significantly genetic. Richard Lynn maintains that adoption by middle-class, white families has no effect on intelligence. Waldman, Weinberg, and Scarr respond to these criticisms and support the original conclusions.
