J. Philippe Rushton

John Philippe Rushton (December 3, 1943 – October 2, 2012) was a psychology professor at the University of Western Ontario, Canada best known for his controversial work on racial differences. Quotes Deconstructing the concept of race not only goes against the tendency of virtually every known culture to classify and build family histories according to some measure of common descent, it also ignores the work of biologists studying non-human species. Mankind Quarterly, Winter98, Vol. 39 Issue 2, p231 Regardless of the extent to which the media promote "politically correct," but scientifically wrong, resolutions from professional societies such as the American Anthropological Association, facts remain facts and require appropriate scientific, not political or ideological, explanation. None of this should be construed as meaning that environmental factors play no part in individual and group differences. But with each passing year and each new study, the evidence for the genetic contribution to these differences becomes more firmly established than ever.
