Lynn's data is frequently attacked as unrepresentative or otherwise lacking. But his studies are very old at this point - his book "IQ and the wealth of nations" is 23 years old at this point, and based on even older data.

Has there been any attempt by the field of psychology to assemble higher quality data, or are they content to merely debunk the data they do have, and have no curiosity as to what the true facts are?
