Gerhard Meisenberg is a HBD pseudoscientist who has published a bunch of racist pseudoscience papers, co-authored with Richard Lynn arguing the mean IQ of Sub-Saharan Africa is as low as 68 (when the correct figure is at least 80).https://archive.org/details/TheAverageIQOfSubSaharanAfricans These papers have been criticized by other psychologists for confirmation bias (such as cherry-picking sources), manipulation and using a unsystematic methodology.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289609000634?via%3Dihubhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289609001470?via%3Dihubhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S104160801000035X?via%3Dihubhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1041608009001071?via%3Dihub Meisenberg attributes the low African IQs mainly to education. About the claim of African IQs in the 80s, he writes: “Because schooling is the most important environmental factor for children’s intelligence, such a high IQ would imply that African schools are already almost as eﬃcient as American schools, and further eﬀorts to improve African school systems are not needed.”Canlorbe, G. 2019.
