I.Q. has NOTHING to do with genes and everything to do with culture and personal interest.

Er, no. IQ is actually about 80% heritable.

Read the book.

“Ethnic America” - Thomas Sowell.

I.Q.’s change generationally because I.Q. are not really barometers of intelligence. They are barometers of success in a particular society based on knowledge of how that society functions.

I doubt either of us would have passed an Apache I.Q. test in the 1800’s.
