Horse feathers! I work with PhDs from China, Bangladesh, and other 3rd world places who grew up in mud huts and they are the brightest of the brightest and went to top U.S. schools.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Post #14 indicates this guy has no particular training in Evolutionary Biology. The article calls him a “Evolutionary Psychologist” if there is such a thing, maybe Dr. Charlton is one; but Ive seen nothing to indicate it.

Moreover he makes reference to no particular data set or study that I can check the methodology of.

Without any apparent expertise in the subject, and without reference to any particular study, all we are left with is the opinion of a British Psychologist that there is no reason to make room for (presumably qualified) “working class” students at elite Universities because they score lower on IQ tests as a group and that is somehow because of “bad” genetics instead of a host of other cultural and environmental factors.
