What is the best single blog post or article regarding the existence of HBD?
I think generally the literature on the B-W IQ gap is most useful, as it is the most heavily resisted (many people will acknowledge that the 100 meter dash stopwatch isn’t pervaded by racism, but freeze up on cognitive traits) and has the best literature, so probably something focused on that. As someone interested in the question, I have a whole arsenal of studies on admixture and transracial adoption and GWAS, but no one hesitant is going to read those. Currently, I think the most up to date and accessible is Russell Warne’s “Between-Group Mean Differences in Intelligence in the United States Are >0% Genetically Caused:
Unfortunately, it does not explore the ramifications of these findings in society and things like disparate outcomes deriving from disparate abilities. For that, I defer to Reason without Restraint’s “The black-white cognitive ability gap and social outcomes” (their “Poor environmental explanations of the black-white cognitive ability gap” is also very strong and anticipates and refutes the most common objections).
The Facts That Need to Be Explained has been referenced by Scott but I find it fairly outdated because it doesn’t incorporate the latest admixture and GWAS studies, the former of which I hold as the single strongest point of evidence in the debate.
