  • Global Inequality as a Consequence of Human Diversity: A New Theory Tested by Empirical Evidence

Global Inequality as a Consequence of Human Diversity: A New Theory Tested by Empirical Evidence Paperback

by Tatu Vanhanen (Author)
Tatu Vanhanen extends his ground breaking research undertaken with Richard Lynn in IQ and Global Inequality (2006). Here the analysis is expanded by using more measures of inequality, confirming that three-quarters of global variation in socio-economic inequality is explained by population differences in IQ.These inequalities exist in basic human per capita income, the rate of university enrolment, mortality of children under 5 years of age, access to sanitation, and index of democracy.As IQ is a phenotypic trait, caused by genes (three quarters) and environment (one quarter), Vanhanen concludes that inequality between populations cannot be explained by environmental factors alone. Inequality between populations is largely a by-product of human genetic diversity. Unless we are willing to abolish genetic variation between populations, we should accept a degree of inequality as part and parcel of that variation.
