Dear Dr Fuerst,
\n
\nThis manuscript addresses a politically sensitive issue that I would prefer not to include in Frontiers in Evolutionary Sociology and Biosociology.
\n<\/b>
\nUnfortunately, I have to inform you that your manuscript “Genetic ancestry, cognitive ability, and socioeconomic outcomes” cannot be accepted for publication in Frontiers in Sociology, section Evolutionary Sociology and Biosociology.<\/p>\n

The reason for this decision is:
\nEthical issues were identified in this manuscript that prevent further review or publication.<\/b>
\n
\nI am sorry to reject this manuscript but it addresses a politically sensitive issue that I would prefer not to appear in Frontiers in Evolutionary Sociology and Biosociology.<\/b><\/p>\n

PLEASE NOTE: Resubmission of any rejected manuscripts to a Frontiers Journal\/Specialty must be accompanied by a section in the cover letter addressing the reasons for previous rejection and highlighting subsequent changes. Failure to do so can result in rejection before review.<\/p>\n
