Abstract
In 1924, American Congress passed the Immigration Restriction Act that specified quotas for the immigration of people from the southern and eastern European countries. This major political event was greatly influenced by the active lobbying of eugenicists who argued that the consistently low IQ scores obtained by immigrants from these countries reflected a biologically based intellectual inferiority (Gould, 1981; Lewontin, Rose, & Kamin, 1984; Kevles, 1985).
