What is wrong with using the concept of heritability of IQ to conclude that cultural differences in an average IQ reflect genetic differences between cultural groups?

▸ Heritability estimates have been demonstrated to be invalid.

▸ Heritability estimates are based comparisons of groups with equivalent environmental factors, so they cannot be used to compare groups that differ on environmental factors.

▸ Heritability estimates are valid only within a race, not between races.

▸ Even if heritability of intelligence is high, group differences could still be caused by environmental factors.
