You have faith in the "Nurture" side of the argument. The Genetic evidence piling up is on the Nature side. [...] I am not going to get into a "nature/nurture" discussion with you because I know it will not change anybody's opinion. I have to admit I was heckling Maurice a bit, but apart from that, I'm not sure nature and nurture can be dicotomized with respect to IQ. I think it's possibly more useful to look at genetics/environment as a system which depending on inputs gives differing outcomes. The question as normally posed I suspect is still open with respect to solid conclusions in the light of very recent work having to do with epigenetic aspects of IQ determination. But its very early days, yet. The wide spread increase of IQ throughout the Western world keeps niggling at me.... This paper is interesting: Genome-Wide DNA Methylation and Gene Expression Analyses of Monozygotic Twins Discordant for Intelligence Levels journals.plos.org This not so much; I'm trying to find a more up to date, more rigorous survey: i-sis.org.uk
