I believe GP's point was that this is a geneticist making very broad statements about IQ test results, a very much debatable measure of general intelligence, and using anecdotes like “people who have to deal with black employees” as a reason for being “inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa.” It's by no means the first time a scientist makes broad and what seems like unsubstantiated statements about something very tangentially related to their area of expertise. Saying he knows what he's talking about because he's got a Nobel prize is a simple case of appeal to authority[1].
