The real real problem is that, like most people writing on science, this guy isn't a scientist in a meaningful term of the word. To paraphrase: An ex-racialist (no loaded terms here!) is saying what we already knew, so he must be right.

Right.

I have no opinion on genetic heritage and group average or distributional IQ, mostly because I don't find measured IQ a very useful thing (phrenology anyone?). But the science is appalling.
