The authors say they had trouble finding a journal that would print their article. It couldn't have had anything to do with a lack of scientific rigor, I suppose. It is also weird for commentary to appear before the article is in print. I've never heard of the Journal of Biosocial Science. There's nothing wrong with putting forward a hypothesis like this... but it is a very difficult one to test. I don't see how they could rule out nongenetic reasons for the higher IQs. A mean difference of 10-15 points is huge, and it is hard for me to imagine how that could arise over the course of a couple dozen generations of selection. And I do fully believe that there are human genetic variants out there that influence IQ.
