The article makes extremely good points, specifically the nearly inargueable

"There is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically. Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so."

My curiosity is how do people actually feel about lawsuits against this man for a scientific 'theory' which nobody can disprove, nor can he actually prove. Though, for pretty much anyone who really thinks about it, it makes perfect since going back to the quote I have right up there.

perhaps it has nothing to do with what we are
as a human being but physically and mentally I absolutely believe it has a huge amount of impact.
Have fun trying to find books on the subject, but it's fairly widely accepted that west african decendants, are a physically superior race than caucasians, not only that but it's pretty common knowledge than kenyans are a devastating force in running events such as marathons.
If you'd like to read about it, there is very few writers willing to delve into it because of the bullshit backlash they get for moving into these types of 'racial profiling' even when the facts point directly to the correct findings. But one that comes to mind is a book called "Taboo" written by a man named John Entine. Excellent book on the subject.
I do not see why mentally there wouldn't be a difference as well.
