The Bell Curve by Herrnstein and Murray argues that intelligence, as measured by IQ tests, varies among individuals and groups, and that these differences have significant social consequences. The finding that the black-white IQ gap remains even when controlling for socioeconomic status supports their position by suggesting that differences in IQ are not solely the result of environmental factors like socioeconomic status.
