I'm confused. If you support the genocentric theory of evolution, then why don't you oppose miscegnation?

If genocentrism (a la Dawkin's The Selfish Gene) is correct, then wouldn't it more adaptive (and hence wiser) for you to oppose miscegnation? Or perhaps your beliefs have nuances that differ from Dawkin's theory?

I realize you're just quoting wikipedia, but I don't think Weyl is cited in _The Bell Curve_. See TBC 1996 Free Press ed. pp. 289 and 565-566 (Afterword). Maybe Weyl was one of the sources for Lynn 1991 (see TBC p. 289 n. 46)? Weyl's not in the TBC bibliography. Wiki's source for Weyl being one of the sources appears to be Jet Heer (see wiki n. 12); his source appears to be Charles Lane.
