Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - To dismiss the clamor surrounding human cognitive disparities as mere social construct is to evade a reckoning with the immutable ledger of biology, a ledger that 'The Forbidden Science' pries open with surgical dispassion. This treatise compels acknowledgment of the heretical hypothesis: that variances in intelligence across populations-those persistent gradients in IQ scores from sub-Saharan cohorts to East Asian aggregates-stem not from capricious circumstance alone, but from the inexorable interplay of heredity, evolutionary pressures, and ancestral adaptations etched into our genomes. Far from the egalitarian edifice erected by postwar ideologues, who branded such inquiries as moral trespass, we unearth the suppressed syntheses: twin studies affirming heritability coefficients exceeding seventy percent, genomic mappings revealing polygenic architectures that defy uniformist delusions, and fossil records attesting to selective crucibles that favored acuity in temperate climes over equatorial abundance. Such revelations indict the orthodoxy not as malice, but as myopia-a willful occlusion of data lest it unsettle the fragile fiction of equipotentiality.Embedded in these pages lies an unflinching cartography of variation: the Neanderthal admixtures bolstering Eurasian neural resilience, the lactase persistences mirroring cognitive lactations in adaptive prowess, and the stark dysgenic drifts in modern meritocracies where low-IQ fertility outpaces the gifted. No quarter given to the environmentalist catechism that attributes Ashkenazi overrepresentation in Nobel laureates to mere cultural osmosis; instead, a mosaic of molecular evidence posits selective bottlenecks-persecutions as crucibles forging outsized verbal-spatial aptitudes amid the chaff of attrition.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - While the previous two volumes in this series were based upon methodol ogy, theory, and the relationship between ecology and population structure, this book can be viewed as an in-depth case study. The population genetics of a multitude of diverse groups geographically distributed throughout the world was examined in the first two volumes. In contrast, this volume focuses upon a single ethnic group, the Black Caribs (Garifuna) of Central America and St. Vincent Island, and explores the interrelationships among the ethnohistory, sociocultural characteristics, demography, morphology, and genetic structure of the group. This volume offers a broad and intensive treatment of the Black Caribs and their interactions with surrounding populations. My interest in the genetics of the Black Caribs was sparked by an accidental meeting in Amsterdam, Holland, in March 1975. A conversation with Nancie Gonzalez at the Applied Anthropology Meetings revealed the 'truth-is-stranger than fiction' history of the Black Carib peoples of the Caribbean. This was a popUlation with a small-sized founding group and a unique biological success story. Nancie Gonzalez was particularly interested in estimating the Carib Indian admixture in the contemporary Garifuna popUlation. Given my previous experi ence in estimating Spanish and African admixture in the Tlaxcaltecan population (whose gene pool consisted predominantly of Indian alleles), a group that appeared to be primarily African with some Indian admixture was of great interest. Aside from the ethnohistorical interest, I believe that such a population may add conSiderably to our understanding of the inheritance of complex morphological traits.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - An enduring controversy in evolutionary biology is the genetic basis of adaptation. Darwin emphasized 'many slight differences' as the ultimate source of variation to be acted upon by natural selection. In the early 1900's, this view was opposed by 'Mendelian geneticists', who emphasized the importance of 'macromutations' in evolution. The Modern Synthesis resolved this controversy, concluding that mutations in genes of very small effect were responsible for adaptive evolution. A decade ago, Allen Orr and Jerry Coyne reexamined the evidence for this neo-Darwinian view and found that both the theoretical and empirical basis for it were weak. Orr and Coyne encouraged evolutionary biologists to reexamine this neglected question: what is the genetic basis of adaptive evolution In this volume, a new generation of biologists have taken up this challenge. Using advances in both molecular genetic and statistical techniques, evolutionary geneticists have made considerable progress in this emerging field. In this volume, a diversity of examples from plant and animal studies provides valuable information for those interested in the genetics and evolution of complex traits. …
