Recently on the Donuhue show, I saw this bioliogist claim Orietinal are smarter than whites, whites are smarter then blacks, but Black have a bigger sex drive. Being black, I totally disagreed with this man. I was wondering since the people here are scienists (real scienists) if the question of evolution vs genes has been quoted: Solved. The best answer (and the fairest) was a book written in 1980? called the Genesisactor. What I was wondering is amont bioliogists, has that book and the theories (It not genes or evolutions it just your Basic better man) has been disputed.
