The hypothesis that states Europeans were the first inhabitants of the Americans

The limitations of this field of science is its susceptibility to interpretation to fit a desired narrative and the lack of a substantive body of evidence

Factors that contributed to vast physical differences across India

The group that financed Bouchard’s work on twin studies and innate cognitive abilities

This non-scientific explanation of people’s origin is a fantastical rendition of history that disguises ugly history and gives people a sense of pride and importance

The gene that emerged upon the settlement of hunter gatherer civilizations and the keeping of cattle; White Nationalists chugged milk at the “Unite the Right” rally to boast the presence of this gene

The behavioral geneticist who studied whether individual differences in intelligence might be heritable

The percentage of DNA that Plomin claims can explain the variance in DNA at the time of his interview with the author

The pursuit of any piece of evidence in support of a claim whilst disregarding all other evidence; used to describe supporters of the Solutrean hypothesis

The remains of this man were uncovered and the initial reconstruction of his skull displayed Caucasiod features, thus leading scientists to believe he had origins in Europe; later when genomic data was available he was found to be most closely related to Havasupai Native Americans and was given a proper burial ritual

this statistical phenomena explains why eugenics is impossible (in terms of selecting for intelligence)

this societal construct could potentially lead to the accumulation of deleterious genes that result in the death of that population

describes the belief that Europeans were destined to colonize the Americas and are entitled to that land, thereby excusing the millions of Native American deaths that resulted from European colonization

according to the solutrean hypothesis, the migrational route Europeans travelled to the Americas

The percentage of variance in IQ that can be explained by genetics factors according to Bouchard; based off of twin studies

The way in which scientists attempted to discern whether intelligence and cognitive abilities can be attributed to mostly genetic and innate factors or social and cultural factors

similarities between the stone tools of these Indigenous populations located in these locations is evidence in support of the Solutrean hypothesis (name of population and location where stone tools were recovered is needed for credit)

The novel that claims white-skinned Solutreans living in the Americas were slaughtered by ‘savages’ who became today’s “non-white” Native Americans

This explains why certain communities and population groups are more skilled at specific tasks than others; i.e. wrestling or archery

The phenomena in which IQ scores drastically increased not because people became innately more intelligent but because they became better at taking tests due to environmental factors
