>The unfortunate reality is that group level differences in characteristics associated with intelligence are measurable. It is pretty much an open secret in genomics. Do you have any evidence to support these assertions? We don't even have a reliable way to measure intelligence (a concept that is troublesome enough to even define), much less conclude that there are so-called "group level differences."

They were very careful to say characteristics associated with intelligence for exactly this reason, I presume.

  Yes. Afaik, they are looking at measurable traits that we think are associated with intelligence. Intelligence itself is a much much harder problem to unravel.
