We can breed Border Collies for herding and intelligence, but in humans, genetics have no impact on intelligence.

Riiigghhhttt!

I had a Border Collie who had never seen a sheep until she was middle aged...on vacation, she met a friend’s range sheep (about 30 being kept in a pasture for a day just off the range), and she immediately rounded them up and pushed them thru a gate. She KNEW what to do without ever having seen it done. But behavior and intelligence have no basis in genetics. How odd!

Oh but they do - for animals. Not for humans though.

In humans, intelligence is not affected by genetics.

You didn't get the memo? LOL

The entire IQ genetics thing is so absurd it's hard to believe people can even argue about it.

Somebody posted this picture yesterday showing a Border Collie herding sheep. For some reason it totally broke me up.
