IQ is almost entirely genetic, but it’s also a distribution curve with a lot of individual variability. For example, if you are, say, a standard deviation above your parents you won the genetic lottery, but it’s much less likely that your children will also feature high IQs as it tends to regress to the mean level.

What answer does anyone want that’s different? Look, I’ll give you a more complex one: consider culture.
Culture is a technology that people build, a sort of biome in which people can survive in a given environment. Why did literature only develop in high-IQ civilizations? Because culture, like all other technologies, are developed downstream from IQ, so the higher the population IQ, the more advanced the culture will arise from them. Furthermore, high-IQ cultures will select for higher-IQ populations in a sort of bio-feedback effect. That’s why even though a low-IQ can learn to read, those low-IQ native coutures never develop reading and writing as a native feature.
