I didn't ascribe it entirely to genetics: I assumed a narrow-sense heritability of 0,5, which is a reasoanble estimate by the way. I assumed that the environments are similar to the mainland. nothing more.

Their descendants, natch. First generation has both good genes and better than average luck. Genes persist in later generations, luck does not.

Luck does not is a very very strong claim that seems highly unlikely to me.

"Luck", in terms of the factors that influence IQ, does not seem to include much shared family environment, at least not in typical western societies. Probably hitting the kid on the head with a hammer actually _would_ make a difference, but few people do that.

Yeah but it almost certainly includes how wealthy the society is

Even if the main effects of wealth or poverty were small, they interact with shared environment in IQ so what

Same same in this context (because standardized heritability etc. are ratios of all variance, increase in E variance means lower relative G variance).

Changes in h2 aren't necessarily indicative of interactions, whereas the paper I linked looks at it directly.
