Population Biology and the implicit scientific backing of the “Human Biodiversity” movement

Directly after the release of Nicholas Wade’s *A Troublesome Inheritance*, population geneticists, biologists, and biomedical researchers wrote an open letter to the *New York Times* stating that “We reject Wade’s implication that our findings substantiate his guesswork." Given their clear denunciation of Wade's book, it seems that the furor should be over. This paper, however, argues otherwise. This paper makes the argument that a number of population geneticists have done enough work in their own reputable academic publications over the last two decades to provide fertile ground and academic justification for repugnant and racist views.
