As long as you are in the business of explaining important issues, I'd love a piece that unpacks the genetics-IQ stuff in a way people can understand. As I see it, many of the race = IQ folks are thinking about it something like this...

"Well, one individual can clearly have genes that influence intelligence. And those genes seem to run in families. Doesn't it make sense that such genes would also run in larger groups of people related by ancestry?" Unpacking the problems with that logic wld do a huge service.
