We can't find genes for intelligence, might need a sample size of 4000! Prof. tells us just before continuing about how it's impossible genetic causes of group differences. Well, we still hear the latter one, but even there, Overton window is close 1995. https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg14519671-600-why-the-search-for-smart-genes-is-doomed/ …pic.twitter.com/tAeSFBuXp0

The search for smart genes is like the search for obesity genes. Phenotype maybe a few single gene mutations but most likely super-polygenic with big influence of environment. If you are interested in smart children take my mom's advice (b.1920-d.2015) find smart spouse and hope.
