The minimum IQ of Nobel prize winners in the sciences is 120, if the average IQ is 100 about 9.1% of the population are at this level, however if the average IQ is 76 this drops to 0.2%.
To put this in perspective, Poland has a population of 37.6m and an average IQ of 100, meaning you can find 3.4m such people, whereas in the whole of India's 1.4b population there are 2.8m.
If a freak asteroid shower were to wipe out Poland, it would be of greater cost to humanity's progress than if it incinerated India instead.
