People who want to make announcements about the genetics of various populations are never to be trusted.
Before 1978 there were no female chess grandmasters. In 1978 we saw the first, and in 1991, the second.
The argument was that men were inherently better at chess. Better brains.
Today there are 41 female grandmasters.
There was a commonly held opinion, 100 years ago, that the the Catholic Irish were dumber than the Protestant Irish, in northern Ireland.
Certainly they tested worse.
