Kill yourself. Most human behavior/mental characteristics are a combination of genes + environment. Early childhood nutrition/education/parent child interaction are really fucking critical in shaping who you are.

What makes you think the environmental changes don't accumulate over multiple generations? I even found a Richard Lynn study putting Sudanese IQ at 93, decades after the initial study
Also if IQ is inheritable, two questions
With an IQ jump of 15 in three decades, does that mean that the Irish have a greater genetic intelligence potential and will eventually surpass the stagnant Anglos and Germanic?
Does that mean that Jews are smarter despite having the same white Germanic blood and other whites will never catch up?

>With an IQ jump of 15 in three decades, does that mean that the Irish have a greater genetic intelligence potential and will eventually surpass the stagnant Anglos and Germanic?

Maybe.
>>52113145
Both groups might catch up, but if they do it will be due to eugenic/dysgenic fertility trends, not due to anything enviromental.

conclusion of study:
>Finally, there is the question of whether the quality of the IQ scores impacts the
immigrant wage results reported in this paper. Apparently, the answer is no: When we
use only standardization sample and UNESCO (1998) scores, we have observations for a
mere 21 countries, but an OLS regression finds that 1 IQ point predicts 1.2% higher
immigrant wages (p=0.02, corr=0.5), similar to the results reported using the full data
sample. Similarly, at the cross-country level, one “high-quality” IQ point predicts 8%
higher national GDP per worker (p=0.0001, corr=0.7, n=27). So even using high-quality
national average IQ estimates, IQ predicts small within-country productivity differences
but large cross-country productivity differences. This replicates the central finding of
this paper.

African immigrants (especially from Sub-saharan countries) are the highest educated group in America (which increases with higher education attainment), even more so than Asians and native whites. This is according to the US department of education statistics.
Remember these guys were rich enough to immigrate, so they presumably had better nutrition, parenting and early education. They're also the first generation of African immigrants to the US, unlike the boat people at Ellis island

The fact that IQ correlates with income, academic achievement, work performance, etc, is proof of that it isnt meaningsless. It measures something real.
Also, the Africans who move to the US are the most educated ones so it makes sense(because IQ is highly heritable) that even their children would become well-educated.

>Remember these guys were rich enough to immigrate, so they presumably had better nutrition, parenting and early education
they were also the ones with better genetics. nations arent just groups of clones
>>52113561
So you're saying they had a genetic head start? Eastern europeans, mediterraneans and Irishmen all had sub 90 IQs and were subjugated by whites historically but today have equalled them in intelligence, despite being genetically distinct groups that were considered genetically inferior all the way till the mid-20 century by the Nazi regime (although Hitler kept contradicting himself as the situation requires)

>Intelligence predicts more pro-social behavior
A meta-analysis by Sudeep Sharma, William Bottom, and Hillary Elfenbein found that higher intelligence predicted greater win-win, pie-growing, pro-social behavior. Jones explains, “We need political leaders who cut deals rather than start wars, who find ways to grow the economic pie rather than battle over a slightly larger slice. And politicians rarely reap most of the benefits of cooperation: Most of the benefits spill over to the whole nation…In many social settings, but not all, intelligent groups are more cooperative. One reason we’d predict smarter groups to be more cooperative is because they tend to be more patient. And more patient people care more about their reputations, they care more about the long-run benefits that come from buildingAlternatively, one might consider an endogenous-growth model with the following
technology production function, suggested by C. Jones (2002, 100ff.):
>λ

Thus, one would want to consider whether national average IQ would plausibly have an
impact on λ and Φ. λ represents the extent to which workers are likely to duplicate each other’s
efforts at a given point in time, while Φ represents the “standing on the shoulders of giants”
effect, whereby it may be easier to find new ideas if many old ideas have already laid the
groundwork. The case can be made for IQ’s impact on both parameters, since IQ is positively

correlated with achievement motivation, creativity, breadth of interests, memory, reading ability,
and many other factors that are likely to contribute to successful innovation [inter alia, Brand,
1987, cited in Jensen, 1998, p. 300]

>random nonsense
Of course I understand that there's individual variation, but you're saying genetically distinct groups within the black population dominated their respective societies/countries. The same assumption was made during the early 20th century by politicians (let alone psychometricians) so I said how could certain white groups equal their Anglo and Germanic counterparts in roughly three generations?
Remember you're the one who asserted that blacks {as a group} had a lower heritable IQ and I showed you that the Irish are a testament to the fallacy of that, so try to maintain some consistency here.
>>52113784
So now you're saying IQ is a poor metric of national intelligence? Remember that these countries are more ethnically homogenous and I'd love to see purely native ethnic IQ tests for western European countries or even NA countries (excluding all the non Anglo and Germanic ethnicities)
