Oh yeah. No denying the value of hard work and culture. Just no denying the value of genes either.

Even if DNA can account for 5-10 points of IQ, which I’d have to see controlled studies to convince me,
such a deficit (or advantage) can be easily overcome by the values of the parents, both in a positive or negative way.

Genes of course play a very significant role and any one who says otherwise doesn’t live in reality and has swallowed a load of PC nonsense. Over thirty individuals have run 100 meters under 10 seconds and all of them are of West African descent. Is that because everyone else doesn’t have the proper culture or hard work ethic?

And your contention is that “Asians and Jews got more of dem good genes” or something? What genes do you think are involved? Why would any gene that unambiguously conferred greater intelligence not reach 100% penetrance in human populations?
