    IQ is greatly related to your surroundings and how developed your area is in terms of science, math, etc... Race has nothing to do with it..

    If you raised in a modern city like Seattle, odds are you will have a higher IQ than some person of the same color but living in a tribal village..

    The mind is a clean slate, and your interactions with the world develop and shape it.

        I think we're all sad we don't know what happened to the Dwemer.

        These bastards were advanced.

          It is pretty sick to tell Africans they are just as good as everyone else, when clearly they are not. We have got school children from the West going over to build them a well, why cant they do it themselves.

          Look at an IQ map of Africa, note how the brown people in the north have higher IQs

            The physical characteristics that are visually apparent (height, skin color etc) all have some differential benefit for particular parts of the world. White skin is needed in higher latitudes so that enough sun light can get in to process vitamin D. In regions closer to the equator, the sun is more intense and so dark skin prevents damage that can cause skin cancer. No similar link has been found to "intelligence" between "different groups".
            That's only true if you feel all intelligence can be accurately measured by an IQ test.

              a child adopted into a middle class family from a working class family can expect a 12-18 point increase in IQ.
