The hereditarian hypothesis is almost certainly true

And I'm not even referring to the latest results from any Pifferian methods (e.g. this). Currently there are many large GWAS for IQ/educational attainment/other g proxies that have data gathered from US citizens. Some of the subjects are African Americans (AAs). AAs are actually mixed ancestry with about 15-25% European ancestry (depending on sample). The simplest genetic model (without shenanigans from assortative mating or outbreeding) predicts a linear relationship between amount of Euro ancestry in AAs and higher IQ/g proxy. This is easy to check, so easy that quite a lot of science bloggers could easily do this in one day if only the data were available to them. The researchers who did the GWAS are surely aware of this method.
