Dr. Josh Schraiber and Dr. 'Doc' Edge published a paper, "Heritability within groups is uninformative about differences among groups: Cases from behavioral, evolutionary, and statistical genetics" in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Schraiber & Edge used math and simulations to show weaknesses in the interpretation of statistics used for studying genetic differences between groups of individuals, generalizing arguments dating back over fifty years.
