Your questions aren't very hard to answer: Different societies' with different social codes of conduct select for those who can more naturally follow their codes. Illiterate cultures don't select for literacy.https://twitter.com/hvierich/status/1015371141806866432 …

Literacy is not genetically determined. Use of Language, metaphors, symbolic representation - as in maps and pictures OR written language symbols - is all constantly under strong selection in all cultures.

Honestly, saying literacy is not gentically determined is the most ignorant statement i have read in some time. As a father of four i can tell you that even within my family some kids just ‘got it’ more quickly than others. And yes, other talents were also unevenly distributed.

My impression is that Gypsies / Roma tend to suffer dyslexia, which contributes to their poor academic performance. On the other hand, they tend to have superb musical skills (except for having a hard time reading music).
