This post will comprehensively relate the current state of IQ and race research utilizing top research from the field of psychology.
The place to start is Rushton & Jensen (2005) which summarizes all research up to that point. https://www1.udel.edu/educ/gottfredson/30years/Rushton-Jensen30years.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwj9ttL0tM_yAhURGFkFHYCbA28QFnoECAUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0thbm3F_1RNZT8qZR5wmS5
The article was so comprehensive and thorough it wasn't truly critically evaluated within psychology for almost 13 years. This special issue from 2019 was devoted exclusively to critiquing it from various perspectives. https://www.mdpi.com/journal/psych/special_issues/race_differences_cognitive_ability
>Fully 13 years have passed since Rushton and Jensen (2005) published their review of race differences in cognitive ability. The article now has over 500 citations. Rushton and Jensen’s (2005) work was impactful, partly because it carefully pitted culture-only versus hereditation models of the cause of race differences in intelligence. The authors were also thorough (the article is 60 pages long) in that they reviewed literature across ten “categories of evidence” regarding which model was possibly true. Ultimately, Rushton and Jensen (2005) concluded that “some genetic component [exists] in Black–White differences in mean IQ.”
>Were they correct? What newer research has or will come to bear on this question? The special issue seeks high-quality scientific contributions regarding either Rushton and Jensen’s (2005) overall conclusion, or any of the ten categories of evidence they reviewed. Multiple perspectives are welcome. So too are reviews, new empirical evidence on the question(s), and articles that expand the scope beyond just Black / White comparisons. The contributions may focus on individuals as the unit of analysis, or feature aggregate-level (e.g., nations, regions, states) data.
