  • Study Finds Racism Causes Black Americans’ Brains to Age Faster Than People of Other Races

    American Renaissance - Nov 20th 2022 9:53pm EST

    Black brains age quicker than white brains, and racism might be why, according to a new study. A new study, published in JAMA Neurology on Monday, analyzed the brain scans of 455 Black participants, 275 white participants, and 737 Latinx participants. Researchers found brain scans of middle-aged and elderly Black participants had more signs of cerebrovascular […]

  • The Science Behind White Ethnomasochism

    American Renaissance - Nov 13th 2022 9:00am EST

    Barbara Oakley, Et. Al, Pathological Altruism, Oxford University Press, 2012, 465 pp. Pathological Altruism is a fascinating book. As a long-time student of the most common and dangerous of all pathological altruisms — the willingness of whites to give up their homelands to non-whites — I was hoping at least one of the 48 contributions would […]

  • How Can Anyone Think Race Isn’t Real?

    American Renaissance - Oct 14th 2022 5:53pm EDT

    This video is available on BitChute. To be a respectable American, you must at least pretend to believe preposterous things: Diversity is our strength, men can become women and vice versa, all races are precisely equal, the United States is a wonderful force for good all around the world. But the most preposterous thing you […]

  • How Tall Will Your Children Grow Up to Be?

    American Renaissance - Oct 14th 2022 12:24pm EDT

    DNA is a better indicator than parents’ height for predicting how tall a child will be, scientists say. The largest ever genetic analysis of height used the DNA of more than five million people from 281 contributing studies. Experts suggest the study plugs a sizeable gap in the understanding of how genetic differences account for […]

  • NSF Funds Shamelessly Fraudulent Science

    American Renaissance - Sep 16th 2022 8:33pm EDT

    This video is available on BitChute. As you have probably heard, the hard sciences are full of “white supremacy.” I have always wondered how math and physics could be racist, and thanks to a half-million dollar grant from the National Science Foundation, now we know. As the authors of a seminal paper report, they have […]

  • The Influencer

    American Renaissance - Sep 12th 2022 11:52am EDT

    Charles Murray’s 1984 book Losing Ground was the type of consequential study rarely seen anymore. Culminating in a radical “thought experiment” of eliminating the social safety net, it captured public attention, drew academic fire, laid the groundwork for the welfare reforms of the following decade, and launched a career in which Murray would provoke—and shape—debates over IQ, […]

  • Medicine Goes Dangerously Insane

    American Renaissance - Sep 9th 2022 4:26pm EDT

    This video is available on BitChute, Rumble, and Odysee. Is your doctor competent? For years, whites and Asians have had to be a lot better qualified than blacks or Hispanics to get into medical school. You have every reason to be suspicious of a “doctor of color.” But now the entire medical profession is going […]

  • Human Capital Mediates Natural Selection in Contemporary Humans

    American Renaissance - Aug 16th 2022 6:08pm EDT

    Natural selection has been documented in contemporary humans, but little is known about the mechanisms behind it. We test for natural selection through the association between 33 polygenic scores and fertility, across two generations, using data from UK Biobank (N = 409,629 British subjects with European ancestry). Consistently over time, polygenic scores that predict higher […]

  • Michael Levin and J. Phillippe Rushton Convinced Me of the Genetic Reality of Race

    American Renaissance - Aug 13th 2022 9:00am EDT

    This is part of our continuing series of accounts by readers of how they shed the illusions of liberalism and became race realists. I was raised in an upper-middle class Republican home in New England. It was obvious from reading the newspaper and watching the news that blacks had higher rates of crime and other […]

  • Racism Tied to Later Life Cognitive Dysfunction

    American Renaissance - Aug 12th 2022 5:38pm EDT

    It is generally understood that racism, whether structural or personal, harms the well-being of the individual who experiences it. It has harmful health effects, and it contributes to ethnic inequality. New evidence shows that the experience of racism is associated with worse cognitive function in later life. That was the fundamental message behind two studies […]

  • Fallacies in Discussions of Race

    American Renaissance - Jul 10th 2022 8:00am EDT

    [Editor’s Note: This essay is an abridged version of a chapter in The Real American Dilemma: Race, Immigration, and the Future of America, available at the American Renaissance store.] It is an embarrassment to defenders of the intellectual parity of the races that all the evidence goes against them. Black children fall behind white children in school […]

  • The American Dilemma in World Perspective

    American Renaissance - Jun 26th 2022 9:00am EDT

    In 1944, the Swedish economist Gunnar Myrdal wrote a momentous book on race relations called An American Dilemma. In it, Myrdal blamed the underachievement of black people on prejudice and discrimination by white people. Political support for Myrdal’s analysis swept away hereditarian hypotheses and helped outlaw segregation in the 1954 Supreme Court Decision of Brown v […]

  • Getting Genetic Ancestry Right for Science and Society

    American Renaissance - Apr 20th 2022 2:34pm EDT

    Glaring health disparities have reinvigorated debate about the relevance of race to health, including how race should and should not be used as a variable in research and biomedicine (1). After a long history of race being treated as a biological variable, there is now broad agreement that racial classifications are a product of historically […]

  • Genetic Variants Underlying Differences in Facial Morphology in East Asian and European Populations

    American Renaissance - Apr 14th 2022 6:44pm EDT

    Facial morphology—a conspicuous feature of human appearance—is highly heritable. Previous studies on the genetic basis of facial morphology were performed mainly in European-ancestry cohorts (EUR). Applying a data-driven phenotyping and multivariate genome-wide scanning protocol to a large collection of three-dimensional facial images of individuals with East Asian ancestry (EAS), we identified 244 variants in 166 […]

  • Sir Francis Galton, in Memoriam

    American Renaissance - Feb 16th 2022 8:00am EST

    Sir Francis Galton (1822-1911), was a 19th-century British polymath, statistician, social scientist, and eugenicist. Today marks his 200th birthday, and it is therefore appropriate to review his work and see how valid his conclusions remain today. Sir Francis Galton Galton’s statistical work was some of his most important, and laid the foundations for many of […]

  • First Sickle Cell Patient Treated With CRISPR Gene-Editing Still Thriving

    For more than a year, Victoria Gray’s life had been transformed. Gone were the sudden attacks of horrible pain that had tortured her all her life. Gone was the devastating fatigue that had left her helpless to care for herself or her kids. Gone were the nightmarish nights in the emergency room getting blood transfusions […]

  • Ethnocentrism and Genetic Similarity Theory

    American Renaissance - Dec 19th 2021 9:00am EST

    Charles Darwin noted in The Descent of Man (1871) that “sympathy is directed solely towards members of the same community, and therefore towards known, and more or less loved members, but not to all the individuals of the same species.” Some 20 years later in Principles and Ethics (1892), the British sociologist Herbert Spencer elaborated on this obvious but […]

  • Heresies to Think About

    American Renaissance - Nov 25th 2021 8:00am EST

    There has been no lack of serial publications challenging the leftist dogma that the primary races of humanity are fundamentally equal in achievements, temperament, and mental ability. But they have invariably been set aside from the literature that has real impact on public policy. The cataloguers at the Library of Congress decades ago concocted a […]

  • Brain Size Counts

    American Renaissance - Nov 21st 2021 8:00am EST

    There is no doubt that when species are compared, a large brain confers greater intelligence than a small brain. Fish and reptiles have small brains and are not very bright. Cats and dogs have larger brains and are much brighter. Monkeys and apes have still larger brains and are brighter still. Humans have the largest […]

  • Can Skeletons Have a Racial Identity?

    American Renaissance - Oct 27th 2021 1:41pm EDT

    Racial reckonings were happening everywhere in the summer of 2020, after George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis by the police. The time felt right, two forensic anthropologists reasoned, to reignite a conversation about the role of race in their own field, where specialists help solve crimes by analyzing skeletons to determine who those people were […]

  • Evolution Goes into Reverse

    American Renaissance - Sep 24th 2021 2:53pm EDT

    This video is available on BitChute. Ever since the first single-celled creature appeared — maybe four billion years ago — evolution has followed a pretty simple rule: survival of the fittest. If a genetic mutation led to a new trait that made something more likely to survive and reproduce, the trait became more common. Evolution […]
