At that level of generality? Of course. That is not equivalent to: All Average Differences Between All Groups Necessarily Have a Genetic Basis

But should scientists be allowed to perform scientific research into questions of: Do Some Average Differences Between Some Groups Have a Genetic Basis?

Scientists should be allowed to study anything they choose. But they should also recognize when their methods are not capable of answering certain questions. IMHO, that is one of them. 1/2

If they are serious about wanting to answer THAT question, they should FIRST develop methods that are capable of doing so. It will be far easier to develop such methods in simpler contexts, such as working with plants&animals.

Exactly what research on plants and animals relevant to the question of race & IQ in humans hasn't yet been done? What more would need to be done in your view to justify lifting the moratorium you propose on studies of human race & intelligence? I'm genuinely curious.

Do exactly what you (and others, here and elsewhere, including some scientists) are asking to be done with race/iq/genetics. 1/2

Show that, with intact, naturally occurring populations of the same species, you can conclusively identify the role of genes/environment/interactions in producing group differences.

So if somebody were to show which genes made, say, a flock of crows living in Central Park smarter than a flock of pigeons living in Central Park, would that suffice?

No. They are different species.

So are the different lineages of humans.
