Bell Curve thesis

The Bell Curve thesis suggests that many traits like intelligence are distributed across the population in a pattern shaped like a bell curve, meaning most people have average abilities, while fewer individuals are at the extremes of high or low. This distribution impacts various social outcomes and can influence discussions about education, employment, and social policies. The concept emphasizes that variability in these traits is natural and widespread, but it does not prescribe specific policies or judgments about individuals' worth based on their position on the curve.
