I think that para, which I am copy editting is very poorly written. Not even making a point for or against the theory (honest, officer), but "the fact that" is not Strunkian. And there is a huge amount of duplication within the para. I will make it better. I will go ahead and use a sandbox to rewrite the whole thing at once though. It is probably annoying to watch me fix it sentence by sentence. Please do not revert that without discussion though. Since I will have put work in, used the sandbox as you asked, and made it better...72.82.52.106 (talk) 02:54, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Ashkenazi intelligence is a controversial theory that the higher general intelligence of Ashkenazi Jews results from natural selection to extended historical persecution in Europe. Anthropologists Cochran, Hardy and Harpending from the University of Utah advanced the theory in a 2006 paper.[1] Several social scientists responded with disagreements.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
