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.

My impression is that scientists, and even nonscientists such as dog breeders, have enormous amount of evidence that different populations of animals have different levels and types of intelligence for reasons both of nature and nurture. What else do you want from them?

People have been breeding animals for millennia. That work provides exactly 0 evidence that bears on the role of genes/environment/their interaction in producing the characteristics of any naturally-occurring populations of any living thing on any trait.

Humans also pick their own mates based on the same type of characteristics that they use to pick the mates for domesticated animals. Then natural selection works on the results and you have differential survival under the conditions human societies create.
