The nature-nurture issue has provided some of the most keenly contested debates in the fields of biology, psychology, sociology, and physics during the past 5 years because of Jensen's contention that, since inequalities in cognitive performance are largely genetic in origin, environmental intervention through educational or social innovations will be of minimal value in reducing these inequalities.

Professor Hunt fails to find satisfactory evidence that the authors may make the assertions about genetic differences determining the intelligence of Negroes and whites which Jensen has offered, and offers an alternative hypothesis that they must provide rich post-natal experience in order to develop the inherent structures of the brain.
