I don't like the way he seems to connect the science to the political spectrum. I think it would be the thinking of the left that we need to improve the environment especially for the disadvantaged (including those disadvantaged for genetic reasons) in order to improve society as a whole. Then he mentions how it was "dangerous" to publish his research, feeding the victim complex of those whose thinking doesn't line up with what he considers to be the left apparantly. Whoever claims that raw, uncivilized human nature bolsters equality can't be thinking straight.
I think it was a good point, that we have come a long way to equalizing the environment and that leaves a big part of the differences to genetics. I would say that is very high praise to the achievements we already made and shows that we are on the right way. I would guess that the same study made in a more unequal society would have different results.
