Nepal has on average an IQ of 45. This classifies as almost on the borderline of "severe mental retardation"...yet somehow they still act in ways that suggests more intelligence than a gorilla. Koko the gorilla received IQ scores between 70-90. Despite that fact, they still pale in comparison to what a human can do. So this brings up the question...is there something more to intelligence than just I.Q? And if so, what is that something?

This also got me thinking that I.Q can indeed, be increased by a good educational foundation, significantly. Give those Nepal people internet, decent education and some kind of reward system for exercising rational thought, and I'm sure they would get an extra 50 points or more. What are your thoughts on this?
