If, for example, Sarah Palin had many identified "high IQ genes" I doubt that the mainstreem media would have been able to characterize her as a dullard.
This study claims to "unequivocally confirm that a substantial proportion of individual differences in human intelligence is due to genetic variation."
Why would they not? Why shouldn't they? Phenotype dominates genotype.
Yes, but PitMK makes it hard to judge phenotype.
Hard? Harder than trying to infer IQ from genes? Genes are great, but let's not kid ourselves about how much one will be able to infer - a bad IQ test beats the most sophisticated attempt to infer from genes.
Perhaps not because of variations of individual IQ scores across time. Lots of people retake the IQ test known as the SATs hoping to get a better score.
