NYT changes its views on genetics of race

Steve Sailer on race and ethnicity:

An important New York Times' op-ed page essay recently appeared, vindicating the existence of human races. ["A Family Tree in Every Gene"—Armand Marie Leroi, March 14 2005]. Leroi, a biologist at Imperial College in London and author of "Mutants: On Genetic Variety and the Human Body," was so blunt and direct that he eerily parallels my own writings on VDARE.com (as I remarked on i.Steve.com).

That the Times dared to print Leroi's demolition of the reigning "Race Does Not Exist" cant is not a total surprise. As I have previously noted, the newspaper's genetics reporter Nicholas Wade has been conducting a brave crusade against the conventional wisdom for several years.
