You can go to google scholar and search: "IQ" and "environment" and "review"
Then you select the "since 2016" option, so you get more recent papers.
You will find approximately 56,300 results.
Similarly, you do the same thing for: "IQ" and "genetics" and "review"
You get 31,100 results since 2016.
Genetics research into IQ isn't that taboo, that's a narrative that some people like to push because they can't find the results that support their beliefs.
>Just get X number of couples, and have them raise children simultaneously from each major ethnic group.This wouldn't account for all the environmental factors. Environmental factors aren't just diseases and toxins. Environmental factors include child abuse and bullying. It's well known that environmental factors can contribute to the development of psychiatric disorders.
You may have a white person who is the child of someone in the military, and so grew up in some school in india, and experienced psychological and physical abuse for being an outsider. You could imagine an identical copy of that person, in an alternate universe, where their family was stationed in some white majority country, where they fit in, and so didn't experience that physical and psychological abuse.
Arguably the IQ of that white person X will be different based on whether they were raised in india or some white majority country.
Similarly: If you take some ethnic minority and a white, and have them raised in a white majority area, you aren't controlling for all the environmental factors.
In fact, you could easily test the effect of environmental factors by producing two testtube babies, but genetically modifying one so that they have red hair, or black skin, or some other physical trait that doesn't affect brain cells. Growing up, kids with redhair were bullied.
