Ummm - I just got flamed on another thread that did a lot of chest thumping over the fact that Jews are the smartest race in the world...as long as you control for Middle Eastern Jews vs European Jews.

Isnt the “European Jew” the same as the people mentioned in this article?

I think they would be wrong on that point regardless.

Resent data I think would show that the Asian races (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) are the most intelligent.

Jews aren’t a race. Moreover, the results of IQ studies can be skewed in lots of ways. Interesting that whoever it was who flamed you seemed to be implying that a lack of European genes weakened the Sephardic Jews’ IQ.

Even the hardest core hereditarians only claim that IQ is about 80% genetic. Others peg the hereditary contribution at about 60%.
