In 194, Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray published The Bell Curve, a book that used a range of statistical techniques to posit racial differences in intelligence (Herrnstein & Murray, 1994). According to Hammonds (2006), there have been two different types of reactions to the publication. On one hand, the book generated a host of detailed critiques that were devoted to carefully dissecting the statistical analyses and describing every methodological flaw and inconsistency in an effort to debunk the book's findings (Devlin, Fienberg, Resnick, & Roeder, 1997; Fischer et al., 1996; Heckman, 1995).
