I started reading that article a couple days ago and it's part of the reason why this subject as sparked with me. His article does a pretty pathetic job of trying to actually disprove anything about the science.
The way he smears Charles murray as if hes some closet white supremacists is just absurd if you actually have heard him speak or read his works.
Charles is one of the best example of someone who end up stumbling into the question on race and gets put on a fiery cross simply for not towing the line that race is purely a social construct.
It's a long read so I don't think you expect anyone to try and debunk it on the spot, so all i would suggest is people interested listen to the episode of Sam Harris's podcast with Charles and determine for yourself if Charles is just some shifty white supremacist neo nazi posing as a liberal or a scientist just trying to get to the bottom of uncomfortable truths.
I listened to the audio for a bit but gave up after coming across multiple logical fallacies.
The fundamental point, though, is that given the large variability of both genetics and IQ (or most other traits, really) within those groups commonly called "races", and big overlap between them, the group label itself is almost always of little use.

If you really want a point by point rebut though, I know someone who did a video a couple days ago on the article https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxCKQupwZQM
