Since 2012, over 350 journal articles and books claim, either in whole or in part, that folk racial classifications are biologically meaningful categories and that racial differences in intelligence test scores, educational attainment, income, and crime partly or even primarily originate from genetic differences between those races. Some psychologists claim that the differences between White Europeans and Black Africans or African Americans are highly resistant to change, and result from evolved differences in brain size, testosterone, and reproductive strategies produced by natural selection. We refer to this body of work as “racial hereditarian research” or RHR.
This Upload includes a bibliography of racial hereditarian research works which argue for all, or part, of RHR since 2012. Works which use “national differences,” skin reflectance, continent, or latitude as proxies for race are included. We chose 2012 as that starting date because that was the year that two of the most prolific RHR psychologists, Arthur Jensen and Philippe Rushton, died. The few references that pre-date 2012 are quoted in our paper and are included here for convenience.
