High-IQ's already been checked https://www.nature.com/articles/mp2015108 … https://www.nature.com/articles/mp2017121 … and Defries-Fulker (similar to that sibling idea) also largely rules out big rare beneficial variants being important to population variance.

Didn't know the sibling idea had basically already been checked. Huh. Thanks for the link! somewhat relevant aphorism I made after reading some population genetics: "all things dreamt of in my imagination are summed up by 1900-1970's population genetics"
