im trying to prove that intelligence is partly genetic but im just finding a bunch of excuses. is there any actual data?

Separated twin IQ studies I think is a good one. You're right, obviously, but they obscure data about so as to avoid the Nigger Question

It’s basically all genetic. Education however is affected severely by poverty. The problem is people conflating intelligence with education.

Yeah, go around niggers

intelligence is the TOOL to use information.
which part of the body does this? the brain.
and yes, the brain is 100% genetic.

your body doesnt produce magic. intelligence isnt magic.
education isnt intelligence.
u can give the same education to a monkey as you do a person, and you get different results. this is due to genetics.
if you give the same nurture, than the ONLY remaining possibility is Nature.

again, magic isnt a 3rd possibility.

Genetics is 75%, other factors 25%

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Transracial_Adoption_Study
> A paper from Drew Thomas (2016) found that once corrected for the Flynn effect and attrition in the low IQ white adoptees, the MTRA data showed mixed adoptees scoring slightly lower than white adoptees with a gap of 2.5 points at age 7 and 3.5 at age 17, while black adoptees scored 12.2 and 11.7 points below white adoptees at ages 7 and 17; however, with confidence intervals on the order of ±3 points, these should be taken as rough estimates. Thomas believes that the black-white gap may be explained by differences in pre-adoption environment and age at adoption.
just one more apologetic paper
just one
and blacks will be equal to Whites
hallelujah

It's largely heritable but not entirely. Estimates are within the 0.5-0.8 range (that is, 50%-80% of the differences in intelligence between people can be attributed to genetics). On the level of the individual, you can go up or down by about a standard deviation (i.e. 15 IQ points) from your "baseline" cognitive ability depending on the environment - a person with a baseline IQ of 100 who's raised in a good environment, lots of enrichment, good schools, etc. can get up to about 115, but the same person raised malnourished in a warzone might go down to 85

Look into Steve Hsu's work

If its not genetic then me removing your frontal lobe wouldnt make you mildly retarded

>>512010274 (OP)
All the major genetic databases forbid studies on that kind of stuff so you'll never see proof
