Genetic geometry shows that Jews are distinct from northern European Whites
But DNA is a number-sequence, not a code of ethics. Morality dissolves in mathematics. I don’t think we can blame Stephen Jay Gould for his anti-Mendelian mendacity. As Kevin MacDonald points out, Gould proclaimed this in his most famous book, The Mismeasure of Man (1996): “May I end up next to Judas Iscariot, Brutus, and Cassius in the devil’s mouth at the center of hell if I ever fail to present my most honest assessment and best judgment of the evidence for empirical truth.” That was self-righteous and Gould is self-damned, because The Mismeasure of Man is replete with mendacity. But if Gould denied scientific truth and MacDonald champions it, that divergence isn’t surprising. Both men belong to small human groups that have had a vastly disproportionate influence on the world. But Scots, who have mostly had a good influence, are White and Jews, who have often had a bad influence, are not. Analysis of DNA has proved that. The three-dimensional geometry of DNA can be translated into a two-dimensional geometry of gene-clusters.8 On a gene-cluster map, Jews stand as a people alone, separated by the Southern-European cluster from Scots in the Northern-European cluster. But there’s another irony in such mathematically based DNA analysis, because one of the central figures in the discovery of DNA’s geometry was much more closely related to Stephen Jay Gould than she was to two of the other central figures in the DNA story.
