1. I.Q of East Asians

East Asians (Mongoloid) are natives of China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. They also populate mainly Singapore (which explains the high average I.Q of this state).
The median value is 105.

4. I.Q and Brain Size of East Asian-European Hybrids

The mean I.Q of hybrids and their cranial capacity are intermediate between those of Europeans and those of Mongoloid, as we could expect.


5. East Asians-Europeans Differences in Reaction Time

Mongoloids have a faster reaction time than Europeans, consequence of the positive correlation between I.Q and reaction time.


6. Brain Size of East Asians

Only Gould finds an absence of difference, but we know that Stephen J. Gould has many times delicately deceived his results to support his egalitarian ideology. A new measurement of skulls analyzed by Gould also found a significant difference.
