Reviews
This volume summarizes much of, and elaborates on themes introduced in, The Form of Man (Paideia Pubs., 1983) and Triumph of the Intelligent ( LJ 4/1/85). Drawing from numerous sources in psychology, anthropology, biology, and other disciplines, Itzkoff discusses variation of intelligence among humans, defending the validity of I.Q. testing and purporting to show the "tragedy of egalitarianism." Some of his statements regarding fossil hominids are incorrect. Many of his arguments regarding intelligence are debatable, to say the least. This is a contentious and potentially controversial, but scholarly, work which might be considered by libraries with comprehensive collections on the topic.

Why Humans Vary In Intelligence
Seller: SKULIMA Wiss. Versandbuchhandlung, Westhofen, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Wie Neu. Zustandsbeschreibung: Mängelexemplar/near mint. In this volume, the author develops a full-scale model of the mind that more fully explains the relationship between I.Q. and the broader expressions of human intelligence as experienced in daily life. His model of variable intelligence further delves into the historical consequences of our ancient biological and psychoneurological heritage. Issues such as gender, race, and ethnic variability are treated factually and responsibly, taking into account the full range of empirical evidence available to scholars. The result is a theory having three complementary bodies of evidence - evolutionary, psychoneurological, and historical - building into a perspective on the factual «why» of human intellectual differences. These differences can best be observed in the richness and diversity of individual personality as well as in the cultures of our world. Itzkoff here takes the first tentative steps toward a biological explanation of the nature and structure of culture. 392 Seiten, Leinen (The Evolution of Human Intelligence; Part 3/Paideia 1987).
