A major article that came out hours ago in The Telegraph is generating a lot of excitement in the HBD community:
Researchers have believed for some time that intellect is inherited with studies suggesting that up to 75 per cent of IQ is genetic, and the rest down to environmental factors such as schooling and friendship groups.
Actually the environmental component is believed by HBDers like Jensen to be developmental noise (biological environment) not schooling and friendship groups.
But until now, nobody has been able to pin-point exactly which genes are responsible for better memory, attention, processing speed or reasoning skills. Now Imperial College London has found that two networks of genes determine whether people are intelligent or not-so-bright.
Of course we’ve seen this movie before. IQ genes are discovered, and then followup studies fail to replicate their existence. This could just be another Type I error.

JV – My comments to you on Canadian Higher Learning vs that of Prolemerica:
College costs in Canada is extremely reasonable. The more prestigious universities charge about $16K per year in tuition equivalent to what one pays at a bottom tier American University with lower IQ underachievers and poor strivers. Graduate school in Canada is even more reasonable. It’s less than 10K/year.
In Canuckia – all non White students are mostly South Asians, East Asians, Africans, and Muslims.
In Prolemerica – non White students at the “average” school are mostly low IQ Hispanics and African Americans with their slave ideology.
What a big difference in demographics!
Wasn’t Stephen Hsu originally on this project? His blog says he’s in California now.
Wasn’t Stephen Hsu on this project? His blog says he’s in California now, but I distinctly remember otherwise in the last year or so.
Hsu is leading the BGI study I believe, which I don’t think is related to this study, but I could be wrong.
“Actually the environmental component is believed by HBDers like Jensen to be developmental noise (biological environment) not schooling and friendship groups.”
Charles Murray said something about peer groups being more homogenous before the schools started to test people in his book Coming Apart. Today the upper test takers have never meet people below 90.
What did you think about my profile of scores pumpkin?
I still don’t know why my processing speed is 86.
Raw and composite scores put me at a General ability Index of 130.
I think that mitochondria could be a factor in why Intelligence could be so high. If you have lots of ATP makes it easier for stochastic resonance to have its effects. Reaction time.
Genes that control structure would also be what to look for.

What did you think about my profile of scores pumpkin?
I thought they were very interesting. I plan to do a post about them soon.
I am caucasian with European ancestry.
I like Anime because it was on Cartoon Network when I was a teen.
I like Japan stuff though, It’s a cool country.
I liked the song, even though I usually don’t like nightcore. Thanks for sharing.
I always thought this one was interesting. The “Warrior” vs “Worrier” SNP.

I have both alleles for warrior. No wonder I’m so resilient.
I will need a card
thanks
