Killing Kittens: Gee Mr. Science, what have we learned today?
Mr. Science: Well David, we've learned that Broca's methods of measuring the skulls of various races has proven the inherent superiority of the average white male.
KK: But didn't he purposefully select younger female skulls to get a lower mean for different ethnic groups?
Mr. S: Now David, he was a highly trained professional. Don't let your political correctness get in the way of scientific fact. It's wishful thinking, and a bit too idealistic of you.
KK: But . . . isn't it true that cranial capacity doesn't have anything to do with intelligence . . . at least not as much as brain size in proportion to body size? And that women are simply proportionately smaller on average than most men?
Mr. S: Only seemingly, David. Be casreful not to draw your conclusions from biased sources.
KK: Thanks Mr. Science!
