Abstract

A recent study from the University of Guelph addresses the issue of scientific racism in psychology, highlighting the harmful impact of claims that race-based genetic differences explain cognitive abilities, education, crime, and wealth disparities. The research emphasizes the need for psychology to adopt the evidentiary and ethical standards of genetics and evolutionary biology to combat racial hereditarian work. The American Psychological Association is urged to take action against scientific racism in the field. [Extracted from the article]
