  • Taking the Fun Out of Being ‘Progressive’

    American Renaissance - Sep 8th 2021 6:31pm EDT

    The evidence that genes influence intelligence and other personality traits is so overwhelming that even a few lefties no longer deny it. But, oh, how they agonize over how to reconcile science with the religion of equality. How do you justify massive social intervention when the people you are trying to help might not be […]

  • Diversity or Science: You Can’t Have Both

    American Renaissance - Sep 7th 2021 9:49pm EDT

    This video is available on Bitchute. The other day I made a video called “Diversity or Standards: You Can’t Have Both.” I pointed out all the standards that have fallen in the name of diversity – in law enforcement, schools and colleges, employment, and even historical accuracy. There was one I forgot. You will recall […]

  • Too Many Scientists Still Say Caucasian

    American Renaissance - Sep 7th 2021 1:33pm EDT

    Of the ten clinical genetics labs in the United States that share the most data with the research community, seven include ‘Caucasian’ as a multiple-choice category for patients’ racial or ethnic identity, despite the term having no scientific basis. Nearly 5,000 biomedical papers since 2010 have used ‘Caucasian’ to describe European populations. This suggests that […]

  • Genetic and Environmental Contributions to IQ in Adoptive and Biological Families with 30-Year-Old Offspring

    American Renaissance - Sep 3rd 2021 11:44am EDT

    While adoption studies have provided key insights into the influence of the familial environment on IQ scores of adolescents and children, few have followed adopted offspring long past the time spent living in the family home. To improve confidence about the extent to which shared environment exerts enduring effects on IQ, we estimated genetic and […]

  • Why Race Matters Changed My Mind About Race

    American Renaissance - Aug 21st 2021 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 used to be a liberal, then a conventional (National Review–Rush Limbaugh) conservative. I grew up like most Americans observing blacks and noticing their behavior, but I attributed it completely to the […]

  • The Evil That Men Do

    American Renaissance - Aug 13th 2021 8:18pm EDT

    This video is available on BitChute. In Shakespeare’s play, Marc Anthony says of Julius Caesar: “The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.” I don’t know if much good was interred when Richard Lewontin died last month, but a great deal of evil lives after him. He […]

  • AI Algorithms Uncannily Good at Spotting Your Race from Medical Scans

    American Renaissance - Aug 11th 2021 7:49pm EDT

    Neural networks can correctly guess a person’s race just by looking at their bodily x-rays and researchers have no idea how it can tell. There are biological features that can give clues to a person’s ethnicity, like the colour of their eyes or skin. But beneath all that, it’s difficult for humans to tell. That’s […]

  • The Lead-Crime Hypothesis: A Meta-Analysis

    American Renaissance - Aug 11th 2021 2:45pm EDT

    Does lead pollution increase crime? We perform the first meta-analysis of the effect of lead on crime by pooling 529 estimates from 24 studies. We find evidence of publication bias across a range of tests. This publication bias means that the effect of lead is overstated in the literature. We perform over 1 million meta-regression […]

  • The Muggers Stole, Among Other Things, All My White Guilt

    American Renaissance - Aug 7th 2021 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. In my first year of middle school I learned how awfully evil and oppressive white people were — they slaughtered the Indians; they slaughtered the Mexicans; they slaughtered the Jews; they enslaved and discriminated against blacks; […]

  • Neandertal and Denisovan Blood Groups Deciphered

    American Renaissance - Aug 2nd 2021 8:32pm EDT

    Blood group analyses for three Neandertals and one Denisovan by a team from the Anthropologie Bio-Culturelle, Droit, Éthique et Santé research unit (CNRS / Aix-Marseille University / EFS) confirm hypotheses concerning their African origin, Eurasian dispersal, and interbreeding with early Homo sapiens. The researchers also found further evidence of low genetic diversity and possible demographic […]

  • What Science Is Missing

    American Renaissance - Jul 28th 2021 12:14pm EDT

    {snip} The big picture: Latino and Black students leave science degree programs at higher rates than white students and receive fewer Ph.D.s. {snip} People of color are underrepresented on university faculties and, in some fields, they are funded at rates lower than their white colleagues. {snip} {snip} Indigenous knowledge about the history of repeated earthquakes predates scientific records in some places and […]

  • China’s Gene Giant Harvests Data From Millions of Women

    American Renaissance - Jul 8th 2021 6:17pm EDT

    A Chinese gene company selling prenatal tests around the world developed them in collaboration with the country’s military and is using them to collect genetic data from millions of women for sweeping research on the traits of populations, a Reuters review of scientific papers and company statements found. U.S. government advisors warned in March that […]

  • American Renaissance Conference is Huge Success

    American Renaissance - Jun 13th 2021 6:00am EDT

    The second American Renaissance conference has been a resounding success. Hysterical media reactions and occasional “civil rights” demonstrations were only a tonic to the 165 people who gathered from all around the country and even from as far away as Germany and Canada. The conference proceeded without mishap or interruption in Louisville’s most elegant downtown […]

  • I Used to Think Race Realists Were a Bunch of Weirdo Nazis

    American Renaissance - Jun 12th 2021 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 am the child of two professors, who are, like most of their profession, dogmatically multiculturalist. From 1993 to 2002, I was a graduate student in comparative literature, and when I started out, […]

  • What Could Be Driving Dysgenics in the Black Population?

    American Renaissance - Jun 10th 2021 6:00am EDT

    Scholars recognize that the persistence of the black-white IQ gap transcends social class — but we cannot truly explore the subject without discussing dysgenics. The heritability of intelligence indicates that smart people produce brighter children. On average, more educated women are unlikely to reproduce regardless of race. Interestingly, researchers note that in the United States, the negative association between intelligence and fertility […]

  • Tackling Systemic Racism Requires the System of Science to Change

  • Is There a Doctor (of Genetics) in the House?

    American Renaissance - Jun 4th 2021 10:18am EDT

    What are TV commercials really selling? Lately, American advertising has abandoned its mission of marketing products with clever presentations and jingles. Instead, ads seem to be promoting interracial relationships to the point that the product is often obscured. This is so common that commercials featuring whites exclusively are rare. While many race combinations are featured, […]

  • How to Explain the Black-White IQ Difference?

    American Renaissance - May 30th 2021 8:00am EDT

    The lower IQs of blacks compared to whites were first demonstrated in the United States in 1917 when soldiers drafted into the Army were tested for intelligence, and it was found that the black average was 83 compared to the white average of 100. This result has been confirmed in many hundreds of later studies, […]
