In fact I have seen a lot of them, even explicite. Eg. As I wrote somewhere
else, they were prove during WAIS-R normalization procedure.

There is no Polish edition. Yes I read his book and I don't want to argue
about it. This book is considered populistic [?], leftistic [?], and
'pollitically correct' to the excess. I don't find it even rational, and I
am aware of several publications bringing Gould's thesis down[?]. Authors
statements look like creationism opposition to evolutionionisn, which means
they are only negative and critical.
One more thing, I am NOT polliticaly correct, and I don't want to be also. I
don't care if some considers some experimental data rascist. I am not a
rascist.
It seems to me pretty obvious that the idea of heritable intelligence, and
different intelligence profiles among ethnical groups aren't very popular in
here. I don't find myself capable to fight this, even because my English
isn't fluent enough.
Anyway, thank you
