>poor diet and lack of money will score lower on an IQ test
But isn't the whole point of an IQ test to be completely separate from education ? It's supposed to measure intelligence not knowledge. To be able to simply recognize patterns is not a matter of education. Genetics is a valid argument since he made statements about melanin having influence on libido and we know that higher your testosterone or adrenaline is lower the IQ. Also there are studies where there are correlation between black people and MAOA polymorphism. And mutations or variability in this gene has got to do with monoamine neurotransmitter concentration, antisocial behavior and IQ.
