Summary
- Race is a biological category based on shared traits.
- Ethnicity is a cultural and biological concept.
- Population clusters correspond to recognised racial groups.
- Scientific evidence does not support the idea of race as a social construct.
- Genetic and neurological differences exist between racial groups.
- Poverty alone cannot explain racial crime gaps.
- Genetic and biological factors likely play a role in criminality.
The data are fairly clear that genetic factors play a significant role in accounting for variation in IQ test scores between and within racial groups.
