  Richard Lynn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Lynn (born 1930) is a British emeritus professor of psychology at the University of Ulster, known for his work on intelligence and differential psychology.
Lynn concludes human biotechnology is likely to progress spontaneously, and that East Asian countries' lesser resistance to eugenics will contribute to their pulling ahead of Western countries in the 21st century.
Lynn currently serves on the board of directors of the Pioneer Fund, and is also on the editorial board of the Pioneer-supported journal Mankind Quarterly, both of which have been the subject of controversy for their dealing with race and intelligence and eugenics, and have been accused of racism.

 Richard Lynn
Lynn tackles the problem of the environmental and genetic determinants of race differences in intelligence and concludes that these contribute about equally to the phenotypic differences.
Lynn’s estimate is not too different from that advanced in 1969 by Jensen to the effect that about two thirds of the low IQ of fls in the United States is attributable to genetic factors, and the more recent estimate of Rushton and Jensen (2005) that the figure is around 80 percent.
Lynn proposes the explanation for this may be that the East Asians are more conformist that Europeans and this inhibits creative achievement.

 02/27/02 - The Intelligence Of Nations
Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen examine IQ scores and economic indicators in 185 countries.
Next, Lynn and Vanhanen review the scientific literature and find that IQ is an important determinant of educational attainment, earnings, economic success, etc. In the United States and Britain, the correlation between IQ and earnings for individuals is approximately 0.35.
Lynn and Vanhanen prove that the widespread though rarely stated assumption of economists and political scientists—that all peoples and nations have the same average IQ—is wildly wrong.

 Global IQ: 1950-2050
Mean population IQ is taken from Lynn and Vanhanen's[1] figures and yearly population estimates for each country from the U.S. Census Bureau
The mean IQ of 185 countries, measured and estimated in Lynn and Vanhanen[1], were taken as the invariant IQ of each country over the 1950-2050 time period.
Since correction for the Flynn effect is substantial in Lynn and Vanhanen's national IQ estimates, and can be expected to strongly influence IQ scores published in the future, it is essential one bear it in mind in any analysis of population intelligence trends.

 A review of the book "Eugenics: A Reassessment by Richard Lynn, released 2002.
Today, this mindset is still in place.  In numerous articles and surveys, different racial groups are compared and typically the status of Blacks is compared to that of Whites, and the disparity is blamed always on racism or the government's failure to act strongly enough to make everyone equal.
(Lynn explains that altruism would be a better term than agreeableness but that term has now "stuck" as the common descriptor for this behavioral trait).  That is, people who are both highly unconscientious and disagreeable are pathological, and both of these traits are highly heritable.
Richard Lynn along with Tatu Vanhanen have a new book coming out in 2002 entitled IQ and the wealth of Nations.

 Foreign Dispatches: Richard Lynn, Fearless Champion of Truth
In 1983, Lynn’s piece was dissected completely in the pages of Nature by two American psychologists who noted that Lynn’s study sample was made up of Japanese kids from well-off urban parents, likely to have higher IQ’s than the more mixed group of Europeans against which they were compared.
Wise accuses Lynn of misusing some statistics and shoddily collecting others, and all the necessary references are within Lynn's own work: all you have to do is read Lynn's writings, look up his references, and compare his analysis of them to what's been alleged here, finish.
As for Lynn, he is a known racialist, so even people on the h-bd realist side should not be surprised if his work is biased or especially flawed, and therefore easy to attack for Micheal Moore-caliber writers.

Lynn was possibly the first scientist to make this phenomenon widely known, although New Zealand political scientist James Flynn has gotten more credit for this recently.

 Richard Lynn: Dysgenics - a review by Marian Van Court
Professor Lynn presents compelling evidence that much of the world is deteriorating in its genetic potential for intelligence, health, and conscientiousness (or good character).
Professor Lynn's major thesis in Dysgenics is that scientific evidence has proven the eugenicists were absolutely right in their concerns about genetic deterioration, and that we, as a society, have made a serious mistake by discounting them.
Professor Lynn believes the gains are real, and probably due to better nutrition, which is thought to be the cause of comparable increases in stature.

 BBC News | HEALTH | Call for re-think on eugenics
Now Richard Lynn, Emeritus professor of Psychology at the University of Ulster, has written a book in which he says it is time for a re-think.
He told the BBC that advances in medical technology, such as the pre-natal diagnosis of pregnant women for genetically disordered foetuses, meant that in a sense eugenics was already being practised.
Dr David King, a geneticist and coordinator of the watchdog group, Human Genetics Alert, said: "We find Richard Lynn's claims that some human beings are inherently superior to others repugnant.

 Racism Resurgent:
Murray and Herrnstein's claims about the higher IQs of Asians--widely cited in the media as fact--are almost entirely cited to Richard Lynn, a professor of psychology at the University of Ulster.
Murray and Herrnstein describe Lynn as "a leading scholar of racial and ethnic differences." Here's a sample of Lynn's thinking on such differences: "What is called for here is not genocide, the killing off of the population of incompetent cultures.
Lynn's fingerprints are all over the footnotes to Chapter 13.
