Brain size
→Biogeographic variation: The prior section cited research exclusively about head shape and skull variation, which is irrelevant for this page about brain size. As such, I have updated it with modern articles that better represent the current state of the evidence on race and brain size.Tags: Mobile editMobile web edit

Brain size
Removed Beals et al citation due to it being inappropriate, unfounded, and out of place. The study cited describes intracranial volume as measured by skulls and uses it as a proxy for brain size as opposed to actually measuring it; in addition, it quite explicitly concludes "We find little support for the use of brain size in taxonomic assessment (other than with paleontological extremes over time). Racial taxonomies which include cranial capacity, head shape, or any other trait influenced...Tags: Mobile editMobile web edit

Neuroscience and race
→Anatomical differences: Added context to explain causes of brain developmental differences; removed a citation on Black & white anatomical differences due to it being based on a very small sample that does not proclaim itself to be generalizable, but rather a guide for further research. In addition, it notes that most results do not survive a Bonferroni correction, making bold claims questionable.Tags: Mobile editMobile web edit

Biochemistry of body odor
→Genetics: Removed references to race due to it being unnecessary as it implies genotype varies solely by race as opposed to by alleles. Body odor article elaborates on the subject of race and lack of evidence for genetic differences in this subject.Tags: Mobile editMobile web edit

Graphology
Undid revision in order to add explanation of edit. Changed the edit in order to better reflect modern studies and surveys on the topic, as well as to add necessary context regarding classification accuracy. In addition, removed irrelevant studies regarding age & nationality as they do not belong in the category of sex classification; discussion of them belongs in their own section.Tags: Undoreferences removed
