^^ tried both. But for some reason, each time I stop using the Kindle for a while it ceases to work. I think it got something to do with the humidity here.

Yeah, ok, let me trust a book on race from a black economist from 1995 when the human genome project wasn't finished until 2003 :
Dr. James Watson can’t help but speak his mind. And this has gotten the co-discoverer of DNA’s double-helix in trouble in the past. He has been called, among other things, sexist, racist, and elitist. He retired from his role as Chancellor of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in 2007 after claiming that black people are genetically less intelligent than whites.
In his Big Think interview, Watson reasserted that there are definitely genetic differences in intelligence. But he says we don’t know very much about these differences though because psychology is “totally dominated by political correctness.” And because we are unwilling to pinpoint people who are unable to learn, we are “avoiding maybe learning somehow and someday to make out brains work better,” he says. “Political correctness has never been a way toward the truth. It’s like, you know, saying something is religiously correct."

James Dewey Watson (born April 6, 1928) is an American molecular biologist, geneticist, and zoologist. In 1953, he co-authored with Francis Crick the academic paper proposing the double helix structure of the DNA molecule. Watson, Crick and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material".

Edward Dutton :
Hello, hello, hello! I like researching ‘controversial’ topics. If someone insists that a certain area is out of bounds and you’re ‘immoral’ for even contemplating it, then that is where new discoveries are going to lie.
I originally read Theology at Durham University, graduating in 2002. There I focused on Religious Studies under the Rev’d Prof. Douglas Davies, editing his book Anthropology and Theology. I then did a PhD in Religious Studies, focusing on Christian fundamentalism, at Aberdeen University under Rabbi Prof. Seth Kunin (and briefly, partially, under Prof. Steve Bruce), finishing in 2005.
I was made Docent of the Anthropology of Religion and Finnish Culture at Oulu University in Finland – I’m based in Oulu – in 2011. The word “Docent” is translated as “habilitation,” “Adjunct Professor” or “Adjunct Reader.” In early 2012, I was Visiting Lecturer in the Anthropology of Religion at Riga Stradins University in Latvia and I did a guest lecture on the subject at Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas, Lithuania.
However, I moved into evolutionary psychology, human biological differences and intelligence in late 2012 and have never looked back. Indeed, the choice between postmodern anthropology and evolutionary anthropology was termed “Dutton’s Dilemma” in the Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute.
From 2012, I contributed to quantitative studies with the Ulster Institute for Social Research under Prof. Richard Lynn and others, publishing in such journals as Intelligence, Personality and Individual Differences and Journal of Biosocial Science.
In 2015, I was guest researcher in the Psychology Department at Umeå University in Sweden under Prof Guy Madison. From 2016, I have been academic consultant to a research group in the Special Education Department at King Saud University in Riyadh led by Prof. Salaheldin Bakhiet. For 2019, I served as editor of Mankind Quarterly,a journal that specialises in evolutionary psychology. In early 2020, Oulu University memory-holed me from their list of docents published on their website, seemingly due to my book The Silent Rape Epidemic: How the Finns Were Groomed to Love Their Abusers.
In September 2020, on the strength of my published research in the field and experience, I was appointed Professor of Evolutionary Psychology at Asbiro University in Łódź, Poland. This private university of applied science, to which I am thus affiliated, focuses on business and management and I contribute to the evolutionary psychology dimensions of this in an occasional capacity. I was, in 2021, appointed research associate in the Deanship of Scientific Research at Tabuk University in Saudi Arabia. My proof that inter-cultural marriages follow the predicted hypergamy patterns of sexual selection has been termed “Dutton’s Rule.”
