You need to be clearer about whatever you're trying to argue. I'm not even sure what most of the point of all this is. You could start with low IQ/third world population growth and its threat to global quality of life and our survival.

It'd still have an effect, though.

Not necessarily

I doubt slightly more athlete's foot or head lice, for example, are doing much to IQs
-
How would that affect IQ?
-
i think he is pointing out parasites that won't affect IQ.
-
Head lice don't transmit infectious agents. Athletes foot is completely different compared to other infectious agents that affect brain functioning and structure.
-
Correct, and are aforementioned parasites being measured, along with agents that can affect brain function, when it comes to the parasitic load data you've mentioned?

It's been a while since I read the paper. Here's Eppig's SciAm article. More data for the claim there.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-is-average-iq-higher-in-some-places/ …

Right, this is what you said earlier. The next step is to parse via ethnicities. This is the control of course, although twin studies and parasitic load would be idea. Very hard to make though.

Twin studies are garbage but here they'd be good.
