Heritability question. Suppose we have a bunch of IQ = 150 people from a population of mean IQ = 100 (SD = 15) people.
Suppose further than IQ is 100% genetically-determined and say 80% heritable. Suppose we take those IQ = 150 people and maroon them.

We can get an E[IQ] for the marooned population's first generation of offspring. Can we get E[IQ] (100=original pop) for later generations?

It seems like the answer has to be "asymptotically approaches 100" (which seems wrong?) or "cannot answer without more information. (???)

Wh... What's the other 20% if it's not heritable or genetically determined?

non-heritable environment (?? does this seem wrong?)
