One of the most controversial issues for anyone studying Psychology or Physiology is the correlation of Race and Intelligence. Both University Professor and Medical Doctor have for long struggled with the issue.
In this space I will soon be posting my End of Term Paper, entitled Prenatal Environment and Behaviour, presented in 1989 at York University, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Essentially, my paper argues that Race etermined has very little if any effect on Behaviour. I further assert that most behaviour, which is an expression of intelligence, is determined by Genetic Factors, these factors can be fuelled by Environmental Factors, and my definitionm of environmental factors includes everything that happens to a mother, from conception to birth, i.e., the quality of the mothers living environment, existence or not environmental pollutants, the quality of food and water, cultural habits, etc.
If anyone out there has some new ideas on this matter, I would be very grateful to hear from him/her.
