The fact they all source from Richard Lynn’s data is a big issue (we flag that here www.statnews.com/2024/06/20/r...) but the Grok answer seems even more biased that way imo. Pretty much entirely discounts environment and makes objectively false claims about heritability that others don’t
Journals that published Richard Lynn's racist 'research' articles should retract them
Richard Lynn's work has been repeatedly condemned for using flawed methodology and deceptively collated data to support racism. It's past time to retract the studies.

Yeah, I was being a hater. It does strike me as an awful lot of work and extended theorizing based on not much concrete data. Similar problems with the “good genes” sex selection, ovulation signaling, and digit ratio work too unfortunately.
