From the campus group calling for his firing [1]:
>However, these categories overlap & are all rooted in Hsu’s beliefs in innate biological differences between human populations, especially regarding intelligence --an unscientific position which makes him unsuited to direct a research institution’s funding or its graduate studies
Humans are, biologically, extremely diverse. Visible attributes, disease risk, geometry of the physical body, etc. Some groups are more prone to certain genetic disease risk factors, for example.
Doesn't it follow that the brains of different groups of humans might group into certain traits, including intelligence?
I'm asking in all sincerity. I'd love to hear if there's some evidence that my thinking is wrong.
