Somalia & an average IQ of 68 seems to call this conclusion into question.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I have a certain amount of skepticism about IQ as a stable criterion, since it tends to vary across the individual lifespan, and its measurement can be skewed by stress,hunger, individual temperament and cultural factors.

But even if the aggregate IQ figures are correct, brain scientists and educational researchers agree that nobody --- that's NOBODY --- actualizes their entire genetic intellectual potential.

That leads us to reasonably infer that everybody --- across the bell curve --- benefits from more early stimulation, enrichment, social interaction and educational development; and that other factors than IQ may prove more salient in contributing to personal achievement.

For instance, a diligent and clever typical-Somali will do better than a drugged out white skinned Britannic-American slacker.

IQ as a proxy for overall race superiority is, in my opinion, Bunk with a capital B.

Places with high levels of multi-generational incest (e.g. Pakistan), heavy drug use/alcohol abuse (especially during pregnancy), or extreme-poverty to the extent of childhood malnutrition can have different IQ #s not related to race.

Haven't you heard of all the Nobel prize winners in Physics, Chemistry, and Medicine of african heritage?

no people group is more primitive than another

Now this is a weird statement.

That’s culture + epigenetics, not race.
