William Saletan’s defense of James Watson in MSM Slate (owned by the Washington Post) is turning out to be a three parter and he’s not holding back. Today, he looks at the environmentalist attacks on hereditarian ideas and concludes:
"When I look at all the data, studies, and arguments, I see a prima facie case for partial genetic influence. I don’t see conclusive evidence either way in the adoption studies. I don’t see closure of the racial IQ gap to single digits. And I see too much data that can’t be reconciled with the surge or explained by current environmental theories. I hope the surge surprises me. But in case it doesn’t, I want to start thinking about how to be an egalitarian in an age of genetic difference, even between races. More on that tomorrow." [More]
