Part of the issue I have with IQ I that the left has spent more then thirty years discrediting anyone that posits ANY link between race, geographic location, or gender.
The answer only seems to be allowed to be that we must spend more money on education, focused on the most underprivileged as dictated by the Party. While there are very few IQ studies these days, there are several that prove spending infinite money on inner-city majority black schools do not increase any achievement metrics. To the point that super private school money and class sizes of as long as ten kids per teacher did nothing.
Basically, because the well has been so poisoned by intentional action and tactics, everyone is left to their own opinions at this point.
@WolfBear, please stop.
You're completely ingoring the fact that human populations do mix, are in constantant competition with each other, and rarely occur in complete isolation for any great length of time. We, as a species, also aren't particularly picky about who we'll partner with when there are no negative consequences for doing so or when the benefits outweigh the negatives.
EDIT: BTW: Bronze Age started roughly 5,300 years ago and ended roughly 3,200 years ago. Your 10,000 year hypothesis is bunk.

The differences are mostly cultural and societal and have nothing to do with your status as a member of the human race.I see you don't know your history.
There's been social penalties, and sometimes legal penalties, for having kids outside your "group" for much of history.
I know a lot of people don't understand this, but what we call racism was normal and universal, for almost all of human history. It's still a big thing, over much of the world, right now.
I, as an Australian, can't become Japanese or Chinese, or a bunch of other groups. Not legally, not cultuarly. There's people who's family moved to Japan from Korea over a hundred year ago, and they're still not citizens.
I'm not going to say whether it's right or not, but it's still real. Accept that, even if you don't like it, and don't want to do anything about it.

I'm never going to know how to do what some Masai men in Africa sometimes do: casually walk up to a pride of lions and steal part of the kill. How to do that is knowledge I do not have in the same way that they don't know a fair number of things I take for granted.
There are differences between species. You and I are not sea squirts even though you and I have more genetically in common with any sea squirt sitting on the seabed which sorta looks like a sponge than we do with all of the shrimp in the salad we just got from a fast food restaurant.Are you suggesting that there are no genetic difference between humans and other species? And if there can be between-species genetic average group differences (humans vs. chickens, for instance), why not within-species genetic average group differences as well (different human families, for instance)?
That said, you are more than welcome to have a cultural and societal explanation for these gaps. My own view is that I'd like this question adequately researched without fear of negative consequences for any researchers who might reach the wrong conclusions in regards to this. As James Flynn, a notable environmentalist researcher wrote, universities aren't eager to do race and IQ research for fear of what they might end up discovering.

Actually, last hundred years or so was the first time that human populations started mixing on a large scale. Before then, people didn't really mix between different municipalities, let alone different populations. Genetic traits during Middle Ages were highly concentrated.
Well because most of tue world countries were conquered for years with the US letting people in freely without needing to conquer changing hoe things are doneI see you don't know your history.
