do i need one do you have a cite for no one disputes there are racial gaps in iq actually you can't have one or at least one that has any basis in reality because i've just disputed it the aas likewise have disputed it for that matter whereas all human beings are members of one species homo sapiens andwhereas differentiating species into biologically defined races has proven meaningless and unscientific as a way of explaining variation whether in intelligence or other traits '''therefore the american anthropological association urges the academy our political leaders and our communities to affirm without distraction by mistaken claims of racially determined intelligence the common stake in assuring equal opportunity in respecting diversity and in securing a harmonious quality of life for all people this looks clear enough to me
