The idea that some groups of people may be more intelligent
than others is one of those hypotheses that dare not speak its name. But
Gregory Cochran is EQ
\X\BO(大1家) to say it anyway. He is
that EQ \X\BO(大2家) bird, a scientist who works
independently EQ \X\BO(大3家) any institution. He helped
popularize the idea that some diseases not EQ \X\BO(大4家) thought to have a bacterial cause were actually infections,
which aroused much controversy when it was first suggested.
EQ
\X\BO(大5家) he, however, might tremble
at the EQ \X\BO(大6家) of what he is about to do.
Together with another two scientists, he is publishing a paper which not only EQ \X\BO(大7家) that one group of humanity is more intelligent than the
others, but explains the process that has brought this about. The group in EQ \X\BO(大8家) are a particular people originated from central Europe. The
process is natural selection.
This group generally do well in IQ test, EQ \X\BO(大9家) 12-15 points above the EQ \X\BO(大10家) value of 100, and have contributed EQ \X\BO(大11家) to the intellectual and cultural life of the West, as the EQ \X\BO(大12家) of their elites, including several world-renowned scientists, EQ \X\BO(大13家). They also suffer more often than most people from a number of
nasty genetic diseases, such as breast cancer. These facts, EQ \X\BO(大14家), have previously been thought unrelated. The former has been EQ \X\BO(大15家) to social effects, such as a strong tradition of EQ \X\BO(大16家) education. The latter was seen as a (an) EQ \X\BO(大17家) of genetic isolation. Dr. Cochran suggests that the intelligence
and diseases are intimately EQ
\X\BO(大18家). His argument is that the
unusual history of these people has EQ \X\BO(大19家) them to unique evolutionary pressures that have resulted in
this EQ \X\BO(大20家) state of affairs.
