> Most psychologists today believe that the supposed heritability was observed because of bias within the research.

This is the crux of your comment and its a huge statement. Do you have evidence supporting this claim?

From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability_of_IQ):

Although IQ differences between individuals have been shown to have a large hereditary component, it does not follow that disparities in IQ between groups have a genetic basis.[11][12][13][14] The scientific consensus is that genetics does not explain average differences in IQ test performance between racial groups.[15][16][17][18][19][20]

And a quick search on Google Scholar:

Sure, but this is not the claim I originally quoted. I was taking about heritability, and you're taking now about disparities between groups.

Nevertheless it seems you agree the heritability of IQ is well established, which you were denying originally.
