A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race and Human History
Steve Sailer writes: I joke around about the existence of a Steveosphere, but you’ll notice that much of the current attention being paid to Nicholas Wade’s new book A Troublesome Inheritance seems to follow its contours. Tyler Cowen in Marginal … Continue reading
What if race is more than a social construct?
Margaret Wente writes for the Toronto Globe & Mail: Nicholas Wade, a leading science writer whose specialty is human evolution, likes to ask interesting questions. Here are some examples: Why has the West been the most exploratory and innovative civilization … Continue reading
Will The Final Round Draft Of Michael Sam Change History Forever?

Thane Rosenbaum: Israeli teens who hired strippers after touring Auschwitz hardly match the Nazis’ degradation
This behavior is an insult to Jewish women who are made to feel undesired. Intermarriage too often begins with a visit to a stripper. Before visiting Bergen-Belsen, check out the Yelp reviews (all in German). Before visiting the Majdanku death … Continue reading

Jews, Blacks & Race
