Gould believed strongly in science, but he also understood that politics and bias shape science. Particularly in areas like race and gender.
I read Mismeasure in high school (which probably was before you were born), and I couldn't take IQ and many other tests seriously anymore.

Anyway, I really do intend to track down the book. My reading list is a bit of a deluge, but hopefully I can work it in.
Though PS - that "probably was before you were born" remark is totally irrelevant and unnecessary. Validity and truth of statements has nothing to do with who makes them (e.g. age, gender, whatever else).
If there is hope, it lies in the proles.
