10. Gould, in The Mismeasure of Man, and Lefrancois in The Lifespan (Lefrancois,1999) have argued against Hernstein and Murray's hypothesis that IQ is genetically determined. Gould and Lefrancois, on the other hand, contend that IQ is influenced significantly by environmental factors and that if African Americans were provided with similar social circumstances and utilization of resources, they too would approximate whites in IQ test scores.
