...comes almost entirely from a review of studies of identical twins reared apart. Since such twins have the same genes, any variation in IQ must be due to environment. Thus, it is imperative that the twins be raised in independent surroundings if any general conclusions are to be drawn...
Given such a shoddy excuse for scholarship, it is understandable that this incompetent amateur shrinks from publication in professional journals and refuses "ever again" to discuss his theory in public. Herrnstein has repeatedly denied social policy implications drawn from his description of a "less endowed" lower class. He reasserts in Commentary that any criticism is a misrepresentation: "Not many of my critics seemed to have read it ['IQ'].
