Intelligence is environmental.
All humans are born with the same “capacity” for intelligence.
Give the same environment, Adam and Eve would have created a laptop computer within their lifetime.
Their environment was different.

Why is Albert Einstein more intelligent than Cletus unless of course his parents are aliens?
Logical conclusion of the argument.

Hi.

“Intelligence is environmental.”

Not exactly.

Intelligence is two parts. Nature and nurture.

I haven’t figured out the various percentages, but I’m working on it.

I agree with you to an extent. If the person is in a bad environment they could restrict intelligence. (not just education)

Today homo sapiens are generally equal with a slight variation in brain capacity. With a relative general difference of about 3%. Which is nearly insignificant relative to Homo Capensis of 40%. and Cro-Magnon about 30%.

I can also make a good argument that Homo Capensis isn't even human. The roof of their mouth is jagged and no sagittal suture (the natural separation between cranial skull bones.)

When looking at Homo Capensis don't mix them up with Homo Sapiens reforming their heads to simulate Homo Capensis. Their cranial capacity doesn't change.
This is what the "fact check" people do.
