There are a million ways to try to deny the forbidden conclusion, but none of them has withstood empirical scrutiny. Twin studies, adoption studies, etc. The only hypothesis that fits the data is that different races have different distributions of intelligence.

There's no reason this should be surprising. Races differ in height, musculature, bone structure, etc. We know that smart people tend to have smart kids and dumb people tend to have dumb kids. Why would intelligence be exempt from variation across races when no other complex heritable trait is?
