Any particular reasons for strong philo? Why don't you just see them as any random high IQ pop? And anyway it is verbal IQ, not 3D, lawyers, not architects. Not a very good reason for super respect.

Do we have figures on people are mixed Jewish/Gentile? I'm wondering if they would do even better, since the Ashkenazi are quite closely related to each other (I saw the figure 3rd-4th cousin on average in consanguinity) so there should be hybrid vigour + pro-IQ genes.

"Just because Ashkenazi Jews are not inbred by this measure does not mean that they are not relatively genetically homogeneous person to person, and exhibit a great deal of distinctiveness. They do." I'm not saying they marry their close cousins. But they are quite homogenous.
