For body weight and many skull measurements, including braincase size and facial width, individuals within each sex usually differ far more from each other than average members of opposite sexes do, he argues.

That's a sign of someone that has not absorbed any scientific education received.

Variation within groups is certainly interesting, but variation among groups is extremely significant, especially when the groups have widely different medians. Think of Pygmies and Watusi: this guy would have you believe that the individual variations among all Pygmies or all Watusi are more important than any group differences -- which is patently a crock.

If I didn't see people who sat through four years of college-as-indoctrination make such innumerate statements daily, I'd never believe anyone with a four year degree could make such a retarded comment. It's a complete straw man, and this guy i as much a scientist as Jeffrey Dahmer is a surgeon.

d.o.l.

I've heard college graduates, indoctrinated into believing that all of the differences between men and women are cultural, deny that male hormones influence muscle mass, that the size and strength differences between the sexes are cultural, etc. There's just nothing like twisting the data to fit your theory. Let's just hope the socialists don't rediscover Lemarkian evolution.

You might find this article, written by a liberal, interesting.
