While thats true, it does nothing to change the possibility of there being genetic differences, nor the likelyhood that their will be clusters in familes/populations.

I would be very surprised if there weren't such differences.
I think you can insofar as current testing measures are devised. Think prodigies and special schools. They are tested for their aptitude and proficincies and placed in special classes.

In short, this subject is complex with a myriad of factors: culture, genetics, migration patterns, emotional development, etc...

It is lazy and idiotic to attribute to something as outdated and scientifically false as "race".
