The explanation isn't 'general intelligence' though. That's the myth

You think it's a myth, I think more data is needed. You seem to follow Ken Richardson in thinking class differences are just a massive coincidence. I think evolution means any class differences must eventually become genetically entrenched under assortative mating.

The genetic class differences are due to genetic stratification. There are genetic differences between classes that are irrelevant to cognitive ability and educational attainment. No evidence exists that genes cause individual differences in IQ scores.

Either way, natural selection acts to lower genetic variation in traits important for survival. I'm sure you'd agree that intelligence is important to survival. Therefore genetic variation for intelligence in the human species should similarly be low as well.

Come on. There is evidence of genetic differences causing differences in IQ scores. IQ does not just measure socioeconomics, but there is some correlation there since being dumb makes people poor. Just look at SAT scores: the richest group of blacks score = poorest whites

Genetic and Phenotypic variation in humans across the globe were established WAY before social class. Class stratification is a recent occurrence

I don't know what your point is, but hierarchy has always existed, even in small tribes and non-human animals.

Arguing against the contention that current class structure is based upon genetic "inferiority" and "superiority." Class is largely not merit-based. Before the state, social hierarchy was mainly based upon individual ability, age and sex, but now it is inherited wealth and status

Variation of individual ability is often inherited. It's called genetics.

So shall I assume that you accept the idea that anyone more wealthy, of higher status, and more accomplished than you is so because of sheer ability and not opportunity? See Paris Hilton

Of course not
