Stephen Jay Gould said that Agassiz's theories sprang from an initial revulsion in his encounters with African-Americans upon moving to the United States.

Hence, correlation does not imply causation ; in example, Gould said that the measures of the changes, over time, in " my age, the population of México, the price of Swiss cheese, my pet turtle ’ s weight, and the average distance between galaxies " have a high, positive correlation — yet that correlation does not indicate that Gould ’ s age increased because the Mexican population increased.

Gould proposed that if the genetic heritability of IQ were demonstrable within a given racial or ethnic group, it would not explain the causes of IQ differences among the people of a group, or if said IQ differences can be attributed to the environment.

The evolutionary biologist Richard Lewontin, a colleague of Gould ’ s, is a proponent of said argument in relation to the cognitive ability tests that determine a person ’ s intelligence quotient.

An example of the intellectual confusion about what heritability is and is not, is the statement: " If all environments were to become equal for everyone, heritability would rise to 100 percent because all remaining differences in IQ would necessarily be genetic in origin ", which Gould said is misleading, at best, and false, at worst.

In a review of The Mismeasure of Man, Bernard Davis, professor of microbiology at Harvard Medical School, said that Gould erected a straw man argument based upon incorrectly defined key terms — specifically reification — which Gould furthered with a " highly selective " presentation of statistical data, all motivated more by politics than by science.

Furthermore, Davis accused Gould of having misrepresented a study by Henry H. Goddard ( 1866 – 1957 ) about the intelligence of Jewish, Hungarian, Italian, and Russian immigrants to the U. S., wherein Gould reported Goddard's qualifying those people as " feeble-minded "; whereas, in the initial sentence of the study, Goddard said the study subjects were atypical members of their ethnic groups, who had been selected because of their suspected sub-normal intelligence.

In his review, psychologist John B. Carroll said that Gould did not understand " the nature and purpose " of factor analysis.

Statistician David J. Bartholomew, of the London School of Economics, said that Dr. Gould erred in his use of factor analysis, irrelevantly concentrated upon the fallacy of reification ( the abstract as concrete thing ), and ignored the contemporary scientific consensus about the existence of the psychometric g.

Therefore, Gould believes that if he can discredit g no more need be said.

" If you had Jack Gould in your corner, you could not believe what it meant ," said Cooney decades later.

Although loosely based on the Andersen story, it was also said to have been inspired by the real-life meeting of Sergei Diaghilev with the British ballerina Diana Gould.

Glenn Gould said of this variation, " It ’ s the most severe and rigorous and beautiful canon ... the most severe and beautiful that I know, the canon in inversion at the fifth.

Peter Williams writes that " the beauty and dark passion of this variation make it unquestionably the emotional high point of the work ", and Glenn Gould said that " the appearance of this wistful, weary cantilena is a master-stroke of psychology.

New York Times critic Jack Gould called the show " one of the high points in the TV medium's evolution " and said " or sheer power of narrative, forcefulness of characterization and brilliant climax, Mr. Serling's work is a creative triumph.

Nash said that the ordinances were not allowed under the U. S. Constitution and that Gould citizens are generally ignoring them.

Piper CEO Kevin Gould said, " The PiperSport is an amazing entry-level aircraft that will bring new customers into Piper and lead the way for those customers to step up into more sophisticated and higher performance aircraft within our line over time.

In September 2010, the band announced that the reunion tour would come to an end in December and plans for a new album had been scrapped, although bassist Billy Gould said that the band might continue.

" A writer of a later generation said " the Grofé and Gould pieces were the essence of slick commercialism ..."

This rescript is said to have been drafted by Reginald Horace Blyth and Harold Gould Henderson, who also contributed to the popularization of Zen and Haiku outside Japan.

It is a term coined by Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge to contrast with their model of punctuated equilibrium, which is gradualist itself, but argues that most evolution is marked by long periods of evolutionary stability ( called stasis ), which is punctuated by rare instances of branching evolution.

Eldredge and Gould proposed that the degree of gradualism commonly attributed to Charles Darwin is virtually nonexistent in the fossil record, and that stasis dominates the history of most fossil species.

I coined the term punctuated equilibrium and wrote most of our 1972 paper, but Niles is the proper first author in our pairing of Eldredge and Gould.

Before Eldredge and Gould alerted their colleagues to the prominence of stasis in the fossil record, most evolutionists considered stasis to be rare or unimportant.

According to Gould " stasis may emerge as the theory's most important contribution to evolutionary science.

Quantum evolution was a controversial hypothesis advanced by Columbia University paleontologist George Gaylord Simpson, who was regarded by Stephen Jay Gould as " the greatest and most biologically astute paleontologist of the twentieth century.

Gould spent most of his career teaching at Harvard University and working at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

According to Gould the most influential political books he read were C. Wright Mills ' The Power Elite and the political writings of Noam Chomsky.

According to Gould, his use of marijuana had a " most important effect " on his eventual recovery.

Gould is one of the most frequently cited scientists in the field of evolutionary theory.

During production the only phrase Gould objected to was a line in the script that introduced him as the " world's most brilliant paleontologist ".

Criticism, most notably made by Richard Lewontin and Stephen Jay Gould, centered on sociobiology's contention that genes play an ultimate role in human behavior and that traits such as aggressiveness can be explained by biology rather than a person's social environment.

Gould proposed that most psychological studies have been heavily biased, by the belief that the human behavior of a race of people is best explained by genetic heredity.

Ultimately, Lewis and colleagues disagreed with most of Gould's criticisms of Morton, finding that Gould's work was " poorly supported ", and that, in their opinion, the confirmation of the results of Morton's original work " weakens the argument of Gould, and others, that biased results are endemic in science.

A Lewis / Young Production, in association with Ansett Television Films, " Caravan Holiday " starred Rod Kirkham, Vikki Broughton, Philip Gould, Debbie Byrne, Jamie Redfern, Jane Scali and the two most recent additions to the team, Greg Mills and Julie Ryles.

In 1987 a list of ' indicators ' was published by Catherine Gould, featuring a broad array of vague symptoms that were ultimately common, non-specific and subjective, capable of diagnosing SRA in most young children.

In December, 1983, the trio made inarguably their most famous British TV appearance on the BBC's popular entertainment magazine program, Show Business, in which they screamed in unison at the camera that they " loved " and " wanted " cult London pirate radio comedian Mark Gould for Christmas.

These three volumes featured most of the original poets, ( also including imagist poetry by the American poet John Gould Fletcher ), with the exception of Pound, who had tried to persuade her to drop the Imagist name from her publications and who sardonically dubbed this phase of Imagism " Amy-gism.

The ZIP code for Gould City, 49838, serves most of the southern portion of the township.

Apart from the commonly cited example of water turning to steam with increased temperature, Gould and Eldredge noted another analogy in information theory, " with its jargon of equilibrium, steady state, and homeostasis maintained by negative feedback ," and " extremely rapid transitions that occur with positive feedback.

John Lyne and Henry Howe, in a more positive evaluation, states that " re-analysis of existing fossil data has shown, to the increasing satisfaction of the paleontological community, that Eldredge and Gould were correct in identifying periods of evolutionary stasis which are interrupted by much shorter periods of evolutionary change.

On the centenary of his death Veronica Franklin Gould published G. F. Watts: The Last Great Victorian, a positive study of his life and work.
