right but thats not the same as selecting for IQ.
thats not even getting into the fact that genetics << environmental effects for predicting IQ..
thats not even getting into the fact that genetics << environmental effects for predicting IQ..
Twin studies of adult individuals have found a heritability of IQ between 57% and 73%[6] with the most recent studies showing heritability for IQ as high as 80%[7] IQ goes from being weakly correlated with genetics, for children, to being strongly correlated with genetics for late teens and adults.
Therefore this might be the case that genetics is a proxy for the culture or mindset or environment that have a large effect on IQ.
This is why such statements can be very misleading.
