Great article, Ron. I have been pondering something
which Dr. Sowell comments on: the low IQ seen in isolated
white communities. After having seen that firsthand,
I am convinced it isn't just my imagination or some
stereotype. It is very real.
My question then is "what is the mechanism
that could cause low IQ in these isolated communties?"
I suggested one: those with brains or ambition leave
town, and the breeding is left to the stay-at-homes.
Do we need any other explanation beyond this one?
Could inbreeding play a role? Would that in general
reduce the *average* IQ of an isolated community? spike
