Channel 4 on Monday is a programme about race and intelligence, would be interesting to hear what people think about it.

Hmm, missed this ... will try to watch on 4od.

Area of particular interest of mine from my undergrad/postgrad days. Far too complex to offer handy forum-friendly soundbites ...

Missed this too - hopefully catch it soon.

Does anyone know if there was race/genetics type discussion re athleticism or was it solely related to intelligence?

Just wondered as I remember an old and, I imagine, inaccurate program about black people being physically "better" (backed up by the proportion of top black athletes) whereas caucasian people where supposed to more intelligent.

Sounded interesting but I never had the time to look into it in any detail and wondered if there was actually any real evidence or if it was just misleading statistics
