I did, cover to cover. It is pretty convincing.
Pretty convincing that asians are smarter than euro-whites, for instance.
I have managed to come to grips with my genetic inferiority, and plunge ahead with life. Others have been less understanding of the authors' key findings.
Other factoids lie within this big book's covers, too.

Pretty convincing that asians are smarter than euro-whites, for instance Why would you demean yourself??? The reason Asians excel in CERTAIN subjects and not in others doesn't have to do with genetics. For example, the Japanese language and number system is ideal for learning and comprehending abstract mathematical thought in an economic manner, easier and faster to grasp than in English.
