Studies on racial concept acceptance reveal significant regional differences. Non-Ph.D. individuals were less likely than Ph.D.s to endorse theories like g theory (IQ). While Western Europe and the Anglosphere generally reject the concept of race, former Soviet countries show more acceptance, with countries like Poland exhibiting varying views on the biological basis of race. In Latin America, the concept of race is more widely accepted in Cuba, while respondents from Spain and the U.S. overwhelmingly reject it. Furthermore, anthropologists with more hereditarian views on intelligence differences tend to be younger, come from higher socioeconomic backgrounds, and hold more educated parental backgrounds. Additionally, 93% of anthropologists believe individual psychological differences arise from genetics to some degree, about half support Phillip Rushton’s r/K selection theory, and around 40% believe group selection played a substantial role in human evolution.
