High IQ Is Sufficient to Explain the High Achievements in Math and Science of the East Asian Peoples
Lynn, Richard – Learning and Individual Differences, 2010

Yang, Rui – International Review of Education, 2011

Until a century ago, Korean medicine was based mainly on Oriental philosophies and ideas. From a religious perspective, Chinese Confucianism was prevalent in Korea at that time.
