What does "scientifically false" mean? I'm caucasian, and I really doubt you could find anybody who would confuse me or anybody else in my family for another race. The same can be said for most people. There are clearly different sets of inherited traits which we can (reliably) use to categorize people into one race or another. Why is it so hard to believe that these (physical) traits don't go together with certain mental ones (on average)?
I'm certainly not saying that mental differences are entirely due to race. I think (at least in this case) that most of it is cultural, but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see that certain mental characteristics are correlated to race.
