Do you belive IQ is correlated genetically with race, independently of environmental influences? As in, if you had a hundred kids of each race and raised them in identical conditions, would there be gaps in average IQ?

Wouldn't all my 100 kids atleast partially be the same racially? what IQ measures is the G-factor (general intelligence), genetics apparently has direct implications on the G factor i personally don't think either of these metrics really even scratch the surface of intelligence

When you parse groups for ancestral geographic clustering, there are major difference in the frequency of varying genes, many of which are known to contribute to intelligence. Colloquial “race” (skin color) contributes less to IQ while genetic race is extremely predictive of IQ.

When you say “multiple intelligences,” you derange any possible shared understanding of what intelligence means. IQ as it is “very specifically” parameterized, is intensely predictive of virtually every cross-culturally desirable outcome in life.
