The above article by Rushton I read a while ago and shows up the kind of charlatan he is, only the most intellectually challenged will group disparate populations like North Africans and Indians into one big homogenous group. Note that he says:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Lynnâs finding of an average South Asian IQ of 85 has been corroborated by Jan te Nijenhuis and colleagues in Holland, who analyzed thousands of respondents including nationally representative samples. They found an average IQ of 81 for first generation Turks and Moroccans living in the Netherlands. They found an IQ of 88 for the second generation, who spoke Dutch and had been educated in the Dutch school system. They published their results in the 2004 European Journal of Personality.

Since when did Turks and Moroccans become "South Asians"?
How come they didn't test the Surinamese Indians who are substantial in Netherlands but use results from North Africans and extrapolate them to Indians.
