“I’m not following this. You’re saying inbreeding raises IQ?”

IQ is a result, generally, of a genetically physical trait.
.........
When tall people have kids with tall people, their kids tend to be tall.

Genetics is uncertain, but it does tend to indicate, but not dictate, the results of offspring.

nature vs. nurture

I happen to think that nurture or upbringing is more important because that is what results in character and personality.
“I happen to think that nurture or upbringing is more important because that is what results in character and personality.”
I’m not so sure that “nurture” is more important.
It could be argued to be more important in that the innate genetic intelligence goes unused for great things without the proper nurture.
But the proper nurture won’t make a genius out of non-genius.
That’s how I see it but nothing is etched in stone.
